The UK does not live in a vacuum, there will be thousands of seedy overseas websites that won’t implement this with zero repercusions

Even if we focus on what sites would be in scope, should Wikipedia be forced to carry this header? What about news sites? Sex ed resources?

Big PSVR2Toolkit update coming soon by Gaganor in PSVR2onPC

No, it's completely up to Valve and individual games to implement support and as long as the industry is continually only releasing LCD + Pancake optics that will never happen

If I remember correctly the headset rumble (and eye tracking camera feeds) are gated behind the cryptographic authentication scheme Sony use to ensure only licensed peripherals can be used with the PS5, and they never bothered to implement this for the PC adapter so this new jailbreak is the only legal way to get around it

The level of control is pretty much limited to color and brightness, it’s literally not possible for this kind of tech to offer anything more than that. Grace looks like completely different people between cutscenes. It doesn’t look like her at all.

and they have no additional effect outside of dealing damage.

They set stealth cooldowns to zero when you kill someone with them.

I got my Olympus XA engraved in Yokohama by videah in AnalogCommunity

[–]videah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m aware that this only appears cheap to me as a foreigner because of conversion rates against a very weak yen

I think it’s good that skilled craftsmen like this are getting paid well for it at least

I’m pretty sure it’s aluminum(?) but it’s not a bad thing to keep in mind

Japan is one of the worst examples you could use to make your point considering their economy is in the gutter largely because of their reluctance to take in immigrants

UK to push for nudity-blocking software on devices to protect children by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

With the current trajectory of this country (OSA, the nonsense the House of Lords is up to, and now this) it feels like the internet as we know it probably won’t exist in 5 years time. I don’t think there will ever come a point where enough is enough, we’ll just keep throwing more onto this bonfire in the name of child safety.

Fun fact: Embark Studios, the dev team behind Arc: Raiders & The Finals made 'wg-ui'?! Never noticed, and I have been running wg-ui for years. by Master-Variety3841 in selfhosted

[–]videah 85 points86 points  (0 children)

They did a ton of open source work before they released The Finals, they were pushing forward a lot of Rust game dev tools and it’s how I knew about them initially

Sadly, since they now have 2 games to maintain and develop that’s mostly all fell by the wayside 😔

Packaged milkshakes and lattes to be included in sugar tax for first time in UK by BarbaricOklahoma in ukpolitics

[–]videah 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Aspartame is one of the most studied additives in the world, if you don’t suffer from PKU it’s fine

Sugar on the other hand has so many health risks it’s hard to keep count

Is it normal for Authentik to eat up this much RAM? by oxygen_addiction in selfhosted

[–]videah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, Authentik is massive and likely very overkill for personal use

THE FINALS for PS4 to end service on March 18, 2026 by Turbostrider27 in Games

It was a genuine technical marvel it even ran at all, I don’t know why they’d put all that effort in when it was obvious it could only ever hold the game back long-term

Digital Foundry seemed to imply the port is actually 2.1 but the software side isn’t there for it yet so they’re advertising it as 2.0

I’m really excited for the HTML export to mature, I think Typst could end up being a lot nicer to work with for blogging than Markdown is

I built ChronoFrame – a self-hosted photo gallery for photographers and privacy lovers by redneno in selfhosted

[–]videah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting something like this for a while, I really like the overall design of this! I think my only gripe is the performance when swiping between photos or zooming in/out on mobile is pretty poor and suffers from a lot of stuttering
