I still don't get why for some stupid ass fucking reason, the wifi network at work blocks apt a ntp, so fuck you if you use a deb distro and fuck you if you want your computer time to be accurate
they also block a bunch of random shit in a completely arbitrary way, like the gimp and krita site are blocked for "freeware and software download" (but the inkscape or freecad are fine) or flickr and dropbox for "file sharing and storage" (but google drive and sourceforge is fine)

I'll die on the hill that "linux phones" will never be a thing unless there are also phones that behave like computers
i.e. having modular drivers and standardised firmware like uefi, that makes the os more or less interchangeable
instead of the thing we have now where every device and device variation needs to have the os be recompiled for their bespoke proprietary soc/firmware/peripheral configuration
the way phones (tbh most arm based machines) work now mean that a device pretty much can only be supported by the oem, as it's simply unrealistic for a third party distro maintainer to support hundreds of devices that each need a different build of the os because each uses a different combination of proprietary drivers and kernel settings to even boot
even for more open stuff - like soc dev boards - you run into the same issue that you have to find a specific build of an os for a raspberry pi, and another specific build for an orange pi or something, even though on paper the devices are extremely similar, you can't just use the os you want, it has to be the os that is available to that device, which more than often is exclusively the os the oem made for the device

american news be like:
a survey has shown that the quality of life of most of the population has not improved over time, to understand why, we did our own interviews
the one average person they interview: I can't afford good quality food or medicine, have no free time for exercises, can only sleep 4 hours a night, and am constantly stressed about affording rent and losing my work
[...]
so after looking at multiple balanced points of view from our average person, two hollywood personal trainers, bill gates' family doctor, and the ceo of a healthcare startup, we have reached no conclusion as to why the survey says quality of life has not improved, as the specialists say there were a lot of advancements in modern medicine
at best we give the advice to do stretches in the morning and eat less sugar

did try resonite again, to see if both wivrn/opencomposite and game updates finally make it run ok in my computer
the answer is still no
with all graphics settings in the lowest, getting about 70 fps in the void, then about 25 in the home world, would get about 30 in some other maps but then the moment got a few people close would drop to around 15
and the game still has the thing where it will put you into a world while it still donwloading, so you have to stand there doing nothing for like 5 minutes or so until the the world properly loads (not even getting a loading bar any more)

pc vr headset companies: exclusively release expensive 'cutting edge' headsets with the only real upgrade being resolution, still cable based, still base station based, still requires third party controllers, barely any work into new features, and to even be able to drive those devices with high resolutions you need a pc with a rtx 4090
pc vr addons (haptic vests, gloves, treadmills, shoes, body trackers) companies: devices are eternally stuck as 'early adopter' items that are also expensive and kinda of a pain in the ass to setup with the eternal hope that 5 years down the line they'll be available to most people
pc vr gamers: why is pc vr so small? why are people buying quests or playstations????
