@aperture definitely! a balance of both is certainly ideal and perhaps that should have been included in the original post rather than indirectly suggesting it. content filtering is a responsibility placed upon all users, author or reader, and we all must do our part to fulfil that.
@zaire agreed! also not the point of the poll- literally just gauging interest as to which folks tend to lean into the most.
the underlying question that could be posed here is "do you prefer the burden of filtering on yourself, or the author?" because ultimately that's how this works
@aperture also worth noting that content warnings shift the burden of accurate filtering to the author, who may not always align with you or even care. word mutes are imperfect for sure, but at the very least enforces on the user-side
and yes, i do understand that these two options are each upheld by opposite ends of the creation/consumption spectrum. again, just curious which folks prefer to lean upon in their social media
@Jes in particular, muvm (the outermost microVM that facilitates 4KB page sizes) doesn't pass through hardware devices, so you've immediately got issues speaking directly to it. so yeah, pretty much no DRM ;p
@georgia steam works, yes, though don't expect fantastic performance- there's many layers of translation and emulation at play so it can really struggle on the constrained hardware of the macbook air.
running native apps is pretty solid though, even for VR! the asahi team still warn that the distro and kernel is very much work-in-progress though (things like external display support required compiling an experimental branch of the kernel, for example)
yeah, both marcan and lina left the project- they were effectively bullied off, as i remember. it was really shitty. i'm not quite sure what the state of the project is following that, but progress certainly feels slower than when they were both around :/
tl;dr there's so many compatibility and emulation layers involved that get in the way of the direct hardware interface needed for wired VR. wireless might work, though! another option is waydroid (😨)
this is. an awkward setup. in brief: - asahi linux running the experimental fairydust kernel (helpful build/install script here). this provides the DP aux support i need to get a valve index running over USB-C. - monado compiled from source, with xrgears running on top. xrgears needs to be told which XR runtime to used with XR_RUNTIME_JSON, but otherwise doesn't seem to require any special care. - for whatever reason, the headset appears in KDE as an external display. not sure how to fix that, also not a high priority for me. my best guess is it has something to do with the experimental nature of this distro supporting DP aux mode at all.
i'm very excited to get this up and running with other, more interesting apps sometime later! for now, it's really quite late and i should sleep zzz
