Your username improves this comment :P

I gamed the attractiveness model for as long as I could, trying different angles and glasses on/off and hit 9.2. If dating apps use a max() across pictures that would be great.

Your domain ideas are pretty good. You could sell your creativity as a service. 50 bucks for 3-5 name options for someone's side project, if you're that good at coming up with them you'd save everyone some time.

That's an amazing link, thanks

I thought I was the only one doing this :P It definitely helps at smaller sizes, narrow fonts like MonoLisa simply become too faint to read easily otherwise

Yeah. I imagine there being "metaverse clients" that don't enforce any NFT DRM and will allow you to copy whatever 3D asset you see as well. I would definitely connect with a jailbroken client / choose the "Indie Metaverse" in which none of the NFT nonsense is enforced.

That was interesting, great read, thanks. Following the article's argument the best thing Meta can do is build "metaverse hosting" but open-source the server/client code.

Could you flesh out the "federation doesn't scale" argument a bit?

I had a question about your Linux setup: Does Immersed VR support multiple monitors in Linux now? Or do you have to mirror a "real" 4k monitor to have it show up in your app? Edit: Ah, I've found some `xrandr` tricks that should work.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks. I've never seen Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and this comment lead me down a great little Internet rabbit hole

Just a quick heads up: I'm a weirdo with WebRTC disabled by default which broke app.paircast.io for me. Because the pricing page embeds pricing from app.paircast.io, that failed for me, too, until I enabled WebRTC.

My wife and I decided to have our kid in Portugal so he could get both of our surnames without adding hyphens or changing our own surnames. If we had opted to have him in Germany we would have all had to adopt a single (probably hyphenated) "family name".

Wow, this lead me down quite a rabbit hole. I hadn't heard of SDF, thanks!

Things have actually improved a lot. I'm running Ubuntu right now and drawing ~5W from my 51Wh battery on a new Ice Lake Dell XPS 13. Highly recommended.
