I gamed the attractiveness model for as long as I could, trying different angles and glasses on/off and hit 9.2. If dating apps use a max() across pictures that would be great.
Your domain ideas are pretty good. You could sell your creativity as a service. 50 bucks for 3-5 name options for someone's side project, if you're that good at coming up with them you'd save everyone some time.
I thought I was the only one doing this :P It definitely helps at smaller sizes, narrow fonts like MonoLisa simply become too faint to read easily otherwise
Yeah. I imagine there being "metaverse clients" that don't enforce any NFT DRM and will allow you to copy whatever 3D asset you see as well. I would definitely connect with a jailbroken client / choose the "Indie Metaverse" in which none of the NFT nonsense is enforced.
Joining an indie metaverse seems like insanity, I'd rather just keep socializing in the real world. Damn, have I reached "Get off my lawn"-age?
The rich and famous would still hang out in the "officially sanctioned" metaverse(s) though, but I guess going into the indie ones would be like going to the dodgy parts of town. Where the famous Hollywood/Netflix/Onlyfans/Twitch stars have alternative logins to go incognito.
And maybe the sanctioned metaverses will have exploits so "hackers" can still participate in it. My imagination of this future is a lame imitation the Matrix movies.
> So while it’s nice that I’m able to host my own email, that’s also the reason why my email isn’t end-to-end encrypted, and probably never will be. By contrast, WhatsApp was able to introduce end-to-end encryption to over a billion users with a single software update. So long as federation means stasis while centralization means movement, federated protocols are going to have trouble existing in a software climate that demands movement as it does today.
That was interesting, great read, thanks. Following the article's argument the best thing Meta can do is build "metaverse hosting" but open-source the server/client code.
That's not how E2E encryption works. It's not just e-mail administrators updating their systems. Every client would need to support whatever E2E encryption scheme chosen. That's hundreds of individual client applications (potentially thousands counting various versions) that would need to be updated.
Contrast with WhatsApp where they control the entire stack from client to network to server. They can push a single set of updates and everyone has the new hotness.
Stage one is that the old email servers become an end for all of their users. From there services can start shifting to having clients where users control the keys.
>Every client would need to support whatever E2E encryption scheme chosen.
If someone couldn't use gmail with an email client the author of that client would have a big incentive to add support for it else risk their users switching to a client that does.
I had a question about your Linux setup: Does Immersed VR support multiple monitors in Linux now? Or do you have to mirror a "real" 4k monitor to have it show up in your app? Edit: Ah, I've found some `xrandr` tricks that should work.
Just a quick heads up: I'm a weirdo with WebRTC disabled by default which broke app.paircast.io for me. Because the pricing page embeds pricing from app.paircast.io, that failed for me, too, until I enabled WebRTC.
