Steam just made a big step forward with steam link, but previously the headset manufacturers were releasing Windows only link software.
Also there are now open source solutions like ALVR.... But like most FOSS it can require some know how.

I heard it for Michael Jackson first
Glad to see the other misinformation classics like Richard Gere's gerbil mentioned.
Anyone remember Jamie Lee Curtis was secretly a hermaphrodite?
It was known. I don't trust anything I learned pre Internet anymore, including the number of planets.

Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st
Reply in thread
Those claims are about porn addiction. Not the act of watching porn. On top of that, putting the burden of child trafficking and abuse onto the sites that would publicly host porn is like blaming climate change on people putting plastic in the wrong bin. Places that propagate the awful content mentioned by this warning are already against the law and flying under the radar. This is just BS that gets righteous Texan votes, not something that helps victims. It certainly doesn't accept that consensual adults make and watch porn in healthy ways. It's also why these folks get called out for their scandals, which wouldn't be news worthy if they didn't grandstand.

posting 'tankie' is the new 'woke' slur on a lemmy instance..
Reply in thread
you're not going to get an answer because people don't self identify as a tankie - it's a pejorative term. you should ask for the opinion of modern marxist-lenninists and you'll get plenty of explanation. like most political persuasions it's not the ideology that is flawed it's the execution.

Matty Healy: Malaysia festival cancelled after The 1975 singer attacks anti-LGBT law

"Westoids" didn't invent homosexuality. Nor did colonialists. Plenty of societies had no problems with it, long before current religions condemned it. Plenty of cruel leaders have tried to exterminate gays from their populations but you can't breed it out or kill it out, only oppress it temporarily. It is a fundamental part of being human and always has been.

Merger Rule
This is a great time to support people like Olan Rogers who have worked for all the majors and are bucking the system. He funded his latest animated series pilot through kickstarter and is getting funding for the rest of the episodes now. Imagine that: paying creative people in advance and bypassing the corporate bullshit. He's even left kickstarter behind now to take payments directly. https://godspeedseries.com/
Also with mentioning when Alan Tudyk did the same with Con Man, a comedy tribute to the Firefly fandom that was fan-financed for 2 seasons.
Helluva Boss doing quite well too.
You may not hear about shows like these because promotion is just not worth throwing any money at... The following is already grassroots and the powers that be make it tough to compete against their ads. But there is quality stuff being made by directly funding film makers. There just needs to be more ways of finding funds for up and coming talent.
(And there needs to be a better place to release non network shows than YouTube, but that's a whole other can of worms)

On behalf of the dads: We used to let you win all kinds of shit and you never knew! Then one day we couldn't beat your anymore... and we had two choices while you gloated: convince ourselves we let you win or let the mid life crisis begin.

The whole island of Sicily covered by wildfires tonight. It's a catastrophe. Here is a satellite image.
For people looking for a more realistic take...the last 48 hours are clear so this is 72 hours back.. Not sure if that's a data issue or the fires have gone out now.

Respect to anyone still managing a library of mp3s
I used to flex on the gigabytes my collection required. Now it seems like bragging about the length of your buggy whip. Kinda wish I'd stuck to it though... Now I'm just the curator of a big pre-millennium library.

What do y'all think of this open-source, solar-roof e-bike thingy?

Thanks for some actual info rather than the rest of opinion and commentary here... Also for working to make the world a place.
Frustrating that one of the hurdles is red tape around engine size that needs a quirky solution like multiple motors.
