I went directly from a dot matrix (ImageWriter II ftw!) to a laser. Except for photo prints, I find it immensely practical to be able to print stuff at home.
Am definitely human.

Good for you! Seriously!
For the rest of us, a few notes on how you accomplished this would be sha-weet! I think sketch up is the most approachable 3d program, but all my “post Windows” attempts have resulted in crashes and freezes. 😥
Emoji passwords made me think of the Lotus Notes password prompt with their little images that changed as I typed (which never really made sense to me).
Yes, I’m old…
Not an alarm, but a timer app.

MultiTimer is brilliant for having a dashboard of purpose made timers that I use all the time (weekly baking, laundry, tea timer, etc) and ad hoc timers.
Ohh, Rankine, thank you! I only remembered Rheamur - there you go. 😊
… Like what is not a very common skill? Touch typing in general? Or doing it under VR specifically?
Hey, that sounds very interesting. It’s there anything not working as it should work that hw/sw combo?
Asking because I’ve never had the experience: how does one write anything while wearing a VR set? Please don’t tell me it’s one-finger “Fliegender Adler” on a giant floaty image of a keyboard?
This would utterly kill the comfort, convenience, and speed of touch typing, would it not? Ahh, progress… Even in Minority Report they had (friggin’ sweet-looking!) keyboards alongside their fancy futuristic FAUI*.
^((* FAUI - flailing arms UI)^)
New fear worry unlocked…
Seems like this was done by working out passwords based on figuring out where people were looking and gesturing, rather than looking directly at the keyboard.
As a person using an uncommon keyboard layout, I reckon this would make it harder to hack my typing.
IF I could even get such a layout on wherever VR system I would theoretically be using… 😬
I’m honestly pleasantly surprised to see that this project seems to be rather actively developed.
Which is completely separate from having a meaningful user base (near you), so 🤷
I’m with you, but see a million obstacles (aka. reasons for why things require payments).
You would need some form of moderation, to weed out illegal content as well as simply bots, spam, and dead profiles. Also for message content. I’ve given it some thought and suspect it can be crowd sourced to some degree, but also needs counter balances. Instead of limiting a profile to be live/banned, you could have a percentage score of peer-reported subjective legitimacy (ditto for message responses, heck you could even have a section of outright reviews of the person’s behaviour - although that, again would be subject to abuse and moderation).
Hosting, traffic, etc. would be an unavoidable cost, but can be mitigated with low resolution photos (VGA should be “good enough” for an initial impression, no?)
For sure, an open source solution would offer way more fine grained filtering.
You know, if you want to replace Slack, look into Mattermost. It’s foss but otherwise pretty much exactly what Slack does so well.
Sorry about the surprise prussians. I was never any good at typing on glass, I much prefer an actual keyboard.
The way your comment reads, you’ve been using Windows 3.11 these past decades. 😂
Dune II - basically the grandfather of every RTS game out there (and incidentally very, very different from Dune I): opposing forces, resource collection, tech tree, fog of war, et cetera. Or perhaps it was (not World of) Warcraft, it’s been too long and memory gets fuzzy.
You bought forty types of breakfast?? I don’t think I’ve done that throughout my life.
Well then it’s good there are so many curves here…?
An actor pulling out of a movie five days before shooting leaves a lot of people on the hook. According to an inside source with knowledge of the film’s finances, multiple stakeholders on the Haynes project — from financiers to crew — still need to be compensated.
Weird (and, from the producer’s side, careless) that lead actors can do this with apparently zero consequences - at least the article is mum on whether Phoenix will be on the hook for any of that bill.
It’s been abused for so many decades im sure you can reliably use either spelling and not be misunderstood.
