I never knew about this (using Linux) but when I plugged my mouse onto a friend’s laptop and suddenly a big banner animated onscreen, my heart sank lol. No idea how this works but it was pretty unexpected.

So tired of hearing about this platform that, afaiu, is barely even federated and not really decentralized. Why the hype when fedi exists?

Something I can use to browse GitHub repositories, reply to and create issues, and get notifications for issues on my own repos.

Do you mean Obtainium? I use it to download apps not available on F-Droid, but I can’t use it to actually browse/use GitHub. I will clarify in my OP :)

I do too. Envision has an option to install “WiVRn” which I found worked way better than ALVR.

I play VR on Linux, it works surprisingly well, especially via Wayland. There’s an app called Envision that sets up basically everything you need for you. Unlike a few years ago, I had to do no fiddling, it just works.

What does a hosted RSS provider give you over a normal client? I use Nextcloud News (self hosted) but I don’t really know the benefit over just using an RSS app on my phone (besides syncing my list I guess).
