How Elon Musk's Starlink Turned Remote Amazon Tribe Into Social Media And Pornography Addicts

Can you recommend any PCVR games that can be played lying down? Preferably something slower that runs on Linux.

So far I've tried:

• Overload: Works, but I get motion sickness.
• Hellblade: Works but for some reason it's too boring for me at the moment, dunno why.
• Arkham VR: A PITA to get working with shitty controls and it's almost impossible to play lying on your back.
• Star Wars Squadrons: Works well, will keep playing.
• The 7th Guest VR: Doesn't work on Linux.
• Alien Isolation: Doesn't work on Linux.

I'm currently installing Alyx but that will probably be too much for my little Deck and on top of that demand too much interactivity.

I really wish The 7th Guest worked. That could have been exactly the kind of calm experience I wanted to play.

I think Microsoft's planned recall feature where they screenshot everything you do so that it can be analysed by AI isn't as bad as everyone makes it sound. It's only bad because Windows is closed source and nobody can verify if what they say is true.

But if Microsoft aren't lying and none of the data ever leaves your PC (which is supported by the fact that you need a pretty beefy machine to use it) then it is one of the more privacy friendly shit they've done recently. And I think they were fully aware that they could only sell "thing that records everything you do" if they could convince people that it doesn't share that data. Guess they failed.

If it were open source I might even think about using it myself. If the hardware and subsequently power requirements weren't so absurdly high.

FOSS AI painting with Krita

It's so awesome that I can let my kid paint with Krita and let her enhance the picture with AI live. She wanted to have an AI picture editor on her phone but I didn't like the privacy policy. But Krita AI Diffusion came to the rescue.

After testing it out myself I showed her Krita, the most important tools and how to use layers and before I could say anything she was off to paint a nice landscape. When she was finished I actually got to enable the AI plugin and show her the ropes around that. And after enabling live painting she went ham and added a phoenix and a giant hand.

Hardest thing about it was that she had to describe what she wanted in English. But she's already learning that in school so it shouldn't give her too much trouble in the long run.

Anyways, FOSS rules!
