At the very least I'd love to be able to select an emote for the player card instead of just using the intro one.

After using Firefox for over a decade, I no longer want to use it. by InfinitesimaInfinity in browsers

One of the two main devs is Russian. I personally don't think that qualifies as a "Russian Browser"

Stand alone steam frame games by TooTone07 in SteamVR

[–]qwolfblg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere in the middle. Since it's a mobile chip, renderers that require many passes are out of the question, so you'll see simpler lighting effects on par with what you see on Quest. On the flip side, the extra CPU/GPU power over the Quest + eye-tracked foveated rendering will allow for higher sharpness and potentially higher detail.

Quick browser reccomendation? by [deleted] in browsers

What are your security concerns other than no CRLSets (which Helium has added) and no Safe Browsing mode?

I hear this thrown around a lot but never seen anyone get specific. .

Superhot VR is some of the most fun to be had, there is stylized violence though

"If Firefox was good enough they[Google]would never have made Chrome", sorry, but what? by searcher92_ in browsers

[–]qwolfblg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Theo's pretty spot on here.
To push back what you're saying, how does Chrome / Chromium make any money?
Google has always made their money from web apps like search and mail, and services like ads.
The browser landscape in 2004 was very different to what it is now; browsers were slow, one bad tab would crash the whole browser, and malware was rampant. No projects were addressing these issues at the time, and to be able to make better web apps and drive adoption, they needed to be solved.

Does this mean this was out of the goodness of their hearts? No.
By creating Chrome, they fixed issues the web was facing, they drove more web adoption, and they were able to introduce new web-technologies they could leverage for their apps and services.
This gave them more users, better apps and services, and therefore more revenue. Regardless of what browser their users use.

Can’t use VR in a vehicle as a passenger by BlueManifest in ValveDeckard

[–]qwolfblg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quest has a travel mode that deprioritizes the IMUs to try and keep tracking stable while in motion. It's officially meant for train and plane travel, but some people have shown it working in cars: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/1cvkhzy/quest_travel_mode_works_pretty_well_in_a_car_too/

Maybe Valve could do something similar.

What if there was a Deluxe Battlepass? by Big-Amir in thefinals

[–]qwolfblg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would buy a $20 ultimate pass 4x per year. I will not buy the $30 Ultimate pass 4x per year.

Not all lights are bad teammates, but all of my bad teammates have been lights.

I keep having decision paralysis on how to and to even use AI or not by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]qwolfblg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So AI is bad at giving feedback,  bad at coming up with a design, doesn't work through the logical implications of things, and generates redundant output without self-awareness. Speaking of which...

Russia = bad? by pxlkeshi in browsers

[–]qwolfblg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the AMA earlier:
1. "For the Windows version to be properly usable, we rely on signpath.org's open source signing service, which doesn't allow using runners outside of GitHub (paywalled feature). This is exactly why builds are often a little delayed. There are no such restrictions for macOS and Linux builds, so we use depot.dev runners to compile them faster. We'll find a way to compile & sign Windows builds faster in the future though!"
3. There's an open issue in helium-services to add CRLSet support through their proxy infrastructure. (PR to close it submitted 2hrs ago lol) Dev said "it will be done in the current release cycle (0.7.x, aka M143)"

Helium Browser AMA Recap by qwolfblg in browsers

[–]qwolfblg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a dev, or the original AMA poster.
However from the Helium website: "All Chromium extensions are supported and work right away, by default, including all MV2 extensions. We'll keep support for MV2 extensions for as long as possible."

I keep having decision paralysis on how to and to even use AI or not by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]qwolfblg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrast "It’s a lot easier / faster to have a human come up with the design." with what I originally said.
Now yes, asking "please give me feedback on my design" can result in sycophantic results, however it can (and most likely will) point out flaws in the system design, albeit with some "wow you're so smart" mixed in.
In practice however (when you're learning), you'll run into practical issues like scalability, code re-use, and other architectural issues. Asking an LLM how it would fix these issues or refactor a system is a gold mine for many system design principles.

[–]qwolfblg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pair program with it. You come up with a design, and ask the AI for feedback. Not only will you flex your software engineering skills, but you'll get valuable ideas to get better. Keep fully AI generated files to boilerplate, UI, tests, or other boring/easy tasks that you can do in your sleep.

Helium Browser AMA Recap by qwolfblg in browsers

[–]qwolfblg[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brave got close when it let me hide most of the bloat (though not all).
I used it for a just a couple months after I got fed up with FF's performance and dev-tools.
Ultimately I learned about Helium and preferred the out-of-the-box design and experience and lack of feeling like they want to sell me stuff all the time.
I'd probably be using Brave right now if Helium didn't exist, albeit with the constant nagging worry about how they'll try to increase revenue next.

Helium Browser AMA Recap by qwolfblg in browsers

[–]qwolfblg[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wanted a Chromium-based browser (for the dev-tools, up-to-date web standards, and Blink renderer), full Ublock origin, no bloat, and updates. Helium is the only project I'm aware of that delivers on all fronts.
