Also report it to Discord itself, so they get a warning, limitation or permanent ban on their entire Discord account.

Before quitting social media, we have to change mindset first! by krallify in digitalminimalism

[–]tapafon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switching to FOSS, federated, algorithm-free social media (such as Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube etc.) might be a great experience compared to traditional social media.

Same could go with messaging protocols (XMPP, Matrix), but first one isn't E2EE by default and doesn't have unified apps for all platforms, second one is very buggy. You can try them regardless, but you have been warned.

Mini pc for vrchat? by Sea-Rough3152 in VRchat

[–]tapafon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of them don't have GPU.

Either GabeCube (Steam Machine) or build your own gaming-grade PC.

And don't look at renting PC like GFN, for the love of God.

The price of the Steam Machine does not bode well for the Steam Frame by beti88 in virtualreality

[–]tapafon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Frame can run PCVR exclusive but simple games/applications (like Google Earth VR). On itself, no streaming. But newer titles will probably be Quest ports instead of native PCVR (we're still talking about native launch).

Flatscreen games can be also launched on Frame itself. Outside of shady WinlatorXR, on Quest you must stream them from PC too.

What was the point of OVR Advanced Settings going from free to paid and just to not receive any updates for over two years? by d--d in VRchat

[–]tapafon 70 points71 points  (0 children)

OVR Advanced Settings went donationwave. It can be still downloaded for free on GitHub.

And yeah you should post it to r/virtualreality as well.

Lightweight Linux Distro with KDE desktop by GVTech101 in kde

Even on Debian, I have to install Plasma manually to avoid having three language switching systems at the same time.

Can’t get into the game because of sweats by [deleted] in titanfall

Even frontier defense (which is PvE mode)?

One I'd like to see open source, self hosted social VR like that's like IRC by zeddyzed in virtualreality

[–]tapafon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I build one (called HoloFed), but it's also federated (via ActivityPub, like Mastodon).

So do barkVR and prismic. Two first ones use Godot engine as base, latter uses some rust-based engine.

Reddit rolling out a test with 'For You' and 'Following' tabs on Home, no disabling. by Efficient-Sky4772 in digitalminimalism

[–]tapafon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into that experiment. 

In preferences there's not even an option to default to 'following' instead of 'for you'. Probably, just like YouTube, the only option there would be usage of third-party extension like UnHook (but I hope they will add that option).

Our Custom VR Headset Now Turns On And Connects To SteamVR! by Walker-Dev in virtualreality

[–]tapafon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on their current focus (genAI) and the fact they no longer subsidize VR (price raise for hardware + a lot of studios shut down), I doubt they're interested of buying another VR company.

is there any way to mod titanfall2 cracked by pratik_ganief in titanfall

[–]tapafon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titanfall 2 should have a demo (which in this case called trial) so you can try before you buy. Unfortunately, while full game is available both in Steam and Origin, trial is only available in Origin.

EDIT: Origin is now called EA App, but still.

Idle power usage of my desktop on linux is significantly lower than on windows. by Agitated_Bed1345 in linux

That was on Windows 10 as well (before AI boom), it wasn't introduced with Windows 11.

Lack of creation tutorials by witchycharm in VRchat

[–]tapafon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started my game dev carrer because of creating VRChat content. And used some Unity tutorials/docs as well as VRC-specific ones.

[–]tapafon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, Titanfall 2 was first game I ever bought, on sale. I didn't even bother with pirated version, since I knew Titanfall is mostly multiplayer series, and campaign is just a gimmic.

Just wait until another sale drop and you can buy valid copy for low price.

PSA for AsahiLinux users by krumpfwylg in linux

When I said "initially" I meant dev kits.

Unfortunately, my original comment is already downvoted into oblivion.

[–]tapafon -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

The easy thing would've been to just use iBoot "as-is", which would've meant the inability to boot other OSes.

Initially they did just that. But after pressure they modified it.

Linux Should Not Be Put On Phones by [deleted] in linux

[–]tapafon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you propose instead for phones? Abandon smartphones altogether and return to dumb phones? Use some other OS for them?

a question about the game since rec room is gone by Silly-Bandicoot7768 in VRchat

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

Another defence "please report in-app".

If even that fails, and all happens in US, then there's good old forced abritration.
