Yeah that’s the solution that I’ve been using for a while and it’s been great.

It’d be nice if at some point instance admins or community mods were able to enforce their own sorting method and vote visibility. Or at least offer their own default.

Nice to hear! Agate’s a pretty solid server choice.

It’s nice to hear something on this but everything about it screams ‘development hell’.

Yeah it seems like a great upgrade headset but not necessarily a great first headset. It’ll be nice when reviews start coming out.

It’s funny, people either love or hate the Vive wands.

I saw somewhere that buying the headset, base stations, and Index controllers instead of the Vive wands is actually slightly cheaper than buying their full kit. Looks like a solid headset pricing aside.

My process is pretty much the same. I’m using this vim plugin to get syntax highlighting for gemtext.

New standalone hardware is always exciting, especially when it’s Linux based.

Yeah I think it’ll still be a bit before anyone is able to really go toe to toe with Oculus on standalone with the headstart they’ve had, but there’s already some more promising hardware around the corner. PSVR2 will be a hit I’m sure. I think Valve is rumored to be working on something as well.

This is a really fun game if you can manage to fill up a private server with people you know. The public servers are completely overrun with cheaters unfortunately.

Good to know, I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for those.

Exactly. They take their sweet time with things but usually have something pretty solid eventually.

I’m also not sure if they’d like a phone-laptop hybrid cannibalizing their Mac and iPad sales.

If Linux phones stick around for the next several years I could see them being the next platform where a phone-laptop convertible is attempted. It would probably even be successful too (by Linux phone standards) with a small but strong community forming around it. Open source puts a Linux phone-laptop convertible in a really strong software position, and even then a lot of people would probably be set with just a web browser.

I’m glad you brought up the Apple chips. With all their devices now using chips designed in-house, I’m thinking that they’re one of the closest to being capable of a mainstream phone-laptop convertible. But I kinda doubt they’d be the ones to pioneer that for multiple reasons.
