I recently bought a phone from Volla that ships with ubuntu touch. Somewhat painful, but entirely possible to use. I also backed the liberux indiegogo for a more modern proper mainline linux phone again.

I’m just not using any google play and ios exclusive apps and services anymore. Yea it’s painful but if you want to see an ecosystem outside of google play and ios, you have to buy and use it. Just be prepared to be the 0.1% that literally nobody cares about. Like when traveling I can follow my ICE train schedule on the Deutsche Bahn website, but it will log me out and delete my entire state after 15 minutes or so of inactivity. Or a couple of years ago I saw that uber had a web app and at some point wanted to order one for a group. turns out when trying to finish the order (which you can’t dry run), I got a generic error and someone with the app had to order. After uber sent me 125 marketing mails after that, telling me to order discounted food with uber eats, I think I finally unsubscribed (I only didn’t earlier out of morbid curiosity).

Personally I live by just not using this stuff is better than being like “oh I need waydroid to run android in a container and use the reverse engineered reimplementation of google play, and also need to fake some stuff to pass integrity checks etc. to use an E-Scooter”.

The google maps globe view (and google earth) uses WebGL. I use that quite often.

For the Index and 2.0 Basestation it’s supposed to work for a while now https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/320#issuecomment-1835581128

Discord is not by choice, it’s just where all the users already are. Eveything fron discord is bridged into this matrix space though https://matrix.to/#/#monado:matrix.org

This branch has the beginnings of wmr and rift s controller tracking. It’s not very good yet but it works already https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/thaytan/monado/-/commits/dev-constellation-controller-tracking

Did we finally find the guy who unironically thinks APIs should be copyrightable?

I used it once to use the in browser bug report thing to request that they support immersive WebXR on linux.

Because I can log into the sync feature without the browser logging me into every single google service automatically with the same account.

Also the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension.

I sometimes look for fun what a flight would cost. And mostly its more than the half…

As the copyright owner you can do whatever you want. You can make your code gpl and give (written) permission to only blizzard to use the code under a different license.

You’d need a CLA for potential contributors though and I have no idea what courts think about it (not a lawyer, not legal advice).

I live in germany. Every single time I take a longer trip, I look for overnight train options. I have never in my life used a sleeper train because they either don’t exist on that route or are so much more expensive I’d rather do the less comfortable option. I would love to love sleeper trains.

I use kde wayland and I have cheap monitors with small vrr ranges. Games with fps drops and stuttering cause the monitor it’s on to flicker. A lot. So I leave vrr disabled.
