    If the research about it making people reliant and dumber is true, then they can probably do some serious price increases before people actually consider stopping to use them, but …

    That is when the conspiracies start popping up, because a lot of people agree with you, me included. However, you cannot make parents actually use such systems, so ignoring the obv…

    In practically every benchmark the Linux Nvidia drivers notably underperform compared to the windows driver.

    Until we reach the point where outside becomes ruined and hostile I do not think a metaverse has much attraction to your average person, I see that as the main reason as for why VR…

    The SteamDB player number for VRChat is kind of underselling its size since half the player base is on other platforms, primarily running it standalone on Meta Quest. A few days ag…

    Going by how little it is spoken on here I assume it is a localized phenomena, but the word of Fluxer.app is spreading among my spaces and it is open source and selfhostable and fe…

    If you are worried about that then I can highly recommend https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy I keep that running on a VPS, but with with proper firewalling you cou…

    My google photos doesn't even seem to support facial recognition, maybe I turned it off somehow at some point, but it doesn't seem like google photos supports manually selecting a …

    Never used Alexa to buy something (not even sure that was supported here) but it not showing you what you are buying, which I feel like it must have on some devices, just sounds li…

    I guess that doesn't matter in games where the world ultimately doesn't matter, it will be better procedural generation, but personally I adore games where the developers actually …

    Because that would likely be confused with compute shaders, which are not accessible in VRChat, we still regularly use geometry shaders, which as far as I know are just terrible co…

    There are two things holding back mini games and special worlds, inexperience and Udon. The more technically impressive worlds don't just use the VRChat provided object syncing or …

    So with every prompt you are expected to wait that long? I highly doubt general people will be willing to wait, it also doesn't seem entirely viable if you want to do it locally, l…

    The US is simply too polarized, and clearly has been intentionally made so, and it has spread over here, but thankfully not to the same extreme. Of course it is bad for the interna…

    If you have a developer who can code and isn't just vibe coding blindly, then that is an extra layer of security, sure it isn't amazingly more secure, but anyone that codes has at …

    It has simply been normalized and for a lot of smaller scale sites, that this was first made for, being a little less professional isn't a problem. But for situations where a compa…

    AI pins lack any well functioning usecase, if any at all in my opinion, phone or smart watch makes more sense. VR and AR headsets on the other hand have several good usecases, they…

    And those videos were either not watched by anyone human or not truly watched by being part of an endless feed of similar slop.

    They don't host anything like that, DERP servers are, aside from Funnel, internal to the tailscale network. But you can proxy traffic using a VPS really easily, which is basically …

    VRChat is basically those potential idea for a metaverse, excluding the fact that you can't directly share photos (you'd need to use a youtube video). It is certainly not "mainstre…

    It doesn't change your conclusion, but VRChat's Steam numbers are only about 40-50% of the entire population, however 50-60K peak per day is of course not massive, unless you are t…

    As someone enthusiastic about it, VR is unlikely to go fully mainstream, however it will definitely still exist, but AR is a completely different beast. AR glasses could replace yo…
