The lenses in the Steam Frame appear HUGE compared to the Galaxy XR and Vision Pro, and even a Quest 3 - hopefully a great FOV and sweet spot?

Photograph of a needle felted lilac colored face, eyes closed, a sweet smile on their face. They have big and flowing orange hair with little stars embedded to the side. Their head seems to be resting on a lilac cloud of wool, adorned with a star that matches the color of their hair.

Last week, I discovered needle felting and it has become my entire personality.

Agreed. If these companies argue that all inputs must be free-use, then all output should also be free-use.

Or taking it a step further - governments could regulate an AI & Automation tax where +90% of these revenues get distributed to everyone whos work serves as inputs. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Tell me if I'm understanding this right:

OpenAI inputs millions of frames of Studio Ghibli art to train their models. OpenAI charges for access to these models and currently makes billions. Studio Ghibli gets nothing in terms of payments or royalties.

And this is somehow considered progress? ๐Ÿค”

"Adapt or Die!" is becoming a battle cry for enshittification.

It's increasingly being said in discussions about the future of gaming, XR, and AI - missing the point that great products require the spine to fight for a vision - often against trends, and sometimes at a cost of growth rate.

Brink shows what Quest's home environments could and should look like. The current ones are just woeful in comparison.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D & 9900X3D "3D V-Cache" CPUs Official: Up To 5.7 GHz Clock, 144 MB Cache & 64% Faster Than Intel 285K AMD has officially announced its high-end 3D V-Cache CPUs, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D & 9900X3D, for enthusiast AM5 PC builders & gamers.

Think it's finally time to retire my legendary-yet-aging Threadripper 2950X.
Totally incredible streak AMD has had with Ryzen since then!

Opinions seems mixed on the new Meta Avatars 2.0 on Quest.

I prefer them personally, I think they're a step in the right direction - especially for more realistic environments like ours - but it seems like it's a highly subjective & divisive topic.

Would love to hear your thoughts / preference!

Went to the sea cliffs to watch for the Tsunami wave yesterday - which was a no-show - but @martuu.bsky.social spotted a pod of dolphins heading north so it worked out.

Gorgeous clouds over SF this time of year! Shot tonight's sunset overlooking the Zoo via DJI Mini 3 Pro.

Targeted sales on the Meta Quest for events like Black Friday is strange IMO. Devs cant opt out, and it makes marketing much harder if some % of users aren't eligible.

We created a parallel code (BFCM24 -and- BFCM24-458FEE) as a workaround so EVERYONE can use one, but it's clunky and not ideal. ๐Ÿค”

It's these types of little details that all add up to make a great overall experience IMO. Really great work!

Blender Development Fund Join the Development Fund and support Blender Foundation to work on core Blender development.

Blender has made incredible progress these past few years - so much that I've been able to abandon Autodesk products I've used for a decade+ without looking back.

Definitely worth supporting their current fundraiser to get 2% of users to contribute towards its continued growth!

It's sooooo nice having a chronological feed without being algorithmed and advertised to death - AND external links not nerfing visibility so people can freely share their off-site works.

Please never change these core tenents @bsky.app! Charge a subscription if you have to, just keep it this way!
