Hey all,

Today, I’m writing to share our intention to join Fedecan, a Canadian not-for-profit organization committed to supporting the Fediverse. We believe this partnership will foster collaboration among like-minded individuals who share a common goal: to create a safe, welcoming space where people can connect freely.

Together we will help deliver a fast, reliable, and consistent experience for all and continue to be free from corporate influence and guided by the values of openness, community, and trust.

Who is Fedecan

Fedecan is a registered non-profit organization based in Canada, with the goal to provide a safe and welcoming space for people to connect with each other on the Fediverse. More information can be found here.

You may also know them by their Canadian lemmy instance lemmy.ca.

What does this mean for sh.itjust.works?

From the outside everything will stay much the same, especially with the admin team. Internally, we will collaborate on tasks related to non-profit compliance, policies, banking and common infrastructure elements such as backup/disaster recovery infrastructure. We will continue to operate separate equipment and instances in geographically isolated locations under different names. We will work towards aligning on safety and security practices in order to ensure that data is secure.

From an organizational structure, sh.itjust.works will fall under the Fedecan umbrella and will share common bylaws, policies, methodologies on best practices, security and legal considerations.

Where do donations go?

Donations to sh.itjust.works will continue to support our mission and objectives exclusively. However, users will also have the option to donate directly to Fedecan, which will allocate funds amongst its projects including sh.itjust.works. Operational costs related to running the non-profit will be shared among projects and these expenses will be transparently disclosed in annual reports published on the Fedecan website.

Option to withdrawal

sh.itjust.works will have the right to withdraw from the Fedecan umbrella should our mutual goals no longer be aligned. In such a case, a predefined provision and action plan will be in place to ensure a smooth transition back to independence.

Why Now?

As the Fediverse continues to grow, we believe it's important to collaborate more closely with others who share our values. Joining Fedecan allows us to do just that, strengthening our operation through a non-profit while staying true to our mission.

Timeline / Next Steps

Over the coming weeks, we'll begin the process of integrating with Fedecan on the organization side. You won't notice many changes but we'll keep you informed throughout the process.

Looking Ahead

We’re excited about this next chapter and the opportunities it brings. By joining forces, we’re reinforcing our commitment to the Fediverse and to the principles that brought us all together in the first place—openness, community, transparency, and trust.

Our core mission remains unchanged. We're still independent in spirit and practice and we remain committed to being a space that's not driven by profit, but by people.

I invite your questions or concerns on this thread or on our https://matrix.to/#/#sh.itjust.works:matrix.org)

Stay connected,

--The sh.itjust.works and Fedecan Team

VR enthusiast and software developer whatdahopper aka Kaitlyn has managed to get the Playstation VR 2's eye tracking to work on a PC. At least rudimentarily.

On X, the developer shows the first video footage of eye tracking in action.

"Yes, I am working towards getting the PSVR2 eyetracking/gaze working on PC, nothing is ready yet, it's still uncalibrated and I only just got ET data from the headset last night," writes whatdahopper on X.

Should the developer release his eye tracking software, it will be free and open source, just like all their projects available on Github.

"What I will say is that my software is just a mod of the official PSVR2 SteamVR driver released by Sony, it injects support for ET into the driver, my plan is to release an SDK so people can integrate stuff," writes the developer.

Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate is a greatly expanded remake of the VR game Wanderer, released in 2022 for the first Playstation VR and PC VR headsets.

After many delays, Mighty Eyes' ambitious project has been released today for Quest 3, 3S, 2 and Pro as well as Playstation VR 2. The PC VR version will launch at a later date. The exact date is not yet known.

This article is not a review of the VR game. I'm going to focus on the graphics and performance and discuss the differences between Quest 3 and Playstation VR 2, both in writing and in the form of a video that shows the same section of the game once on PSVR 2 and once on Quest 3.

Considering the graphical splendor of the console version, I was afraid that Meta Quest 3 would have major graphical compromises. These fears were unfounded.

The Quest 3 version lacks visual treats like elaborate lighting and particle effects, post-processing, real-time shadows, and transparent water, and the textures aren't quite as sharp, but overall the visual appearance remains intact.

However, Mighty Eyes had to make other compromises to achieve a smooth frame rate on Meta Quest. According to the developers, both Quest 2 and Quest 3 use Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW), which can cause artifacts by artificially doubling the frame rate: from 36 to 72 frames per second on Quest 2 and from 40 to 80 frames per second on Quest 3.

The studio has clearly optimized the game for the most powerful VR platforms and has not compromised on the graphics because of Meta Quest. Graphics fetishists will get their money's worth with this title.

Those who only have a Quest 3 will also enjoy the game. Mighty Eyes has somehow managed to bring these worlds to the standalone headset without any major compromises. The biggest trade-off is in performance: Wanderer doesn't feel quite as smooth on the Quest 3, and ASW artifacts can spoil the overall good impression.

In the Quest 3 section of my video, the game sometimes stutters. Please note that this is because I'm recording a video, and that the game normally runs more smoothly.

Mighty Eyes writes that the Quest performance will be further improved in the coming weeks. A day 1 patch is also planned for Meta Quest, which I have not yet been able to try out.

Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate can be purchased from the Horizon Store and the Playstation Store for $50. If you own the original game, you will receive a 20 percent discount on the upgrade. If you buy the Quest version, you will receive the Rift version (PC VR) for free as soon as it is released, and vice versa.

Developed by Free Lives and Cortopia, and published by Devolver Digital, GORN 2 is all about battling fridge-sized gladiators—just like the original—although this time around it’s promising even more weapons, arenas, traps, enemies and bosses.

The studios say their next fully physics-driven combat game will let players mercilessly strike down enemies with 35 weapons, taking you through a series of heavenly realms populated by the fallen heroes of the original game.

The game’s campaign, which is promising three-to-four hours of action, also contains five bosses you’ll need to beat. Once all is said and done though, Gorn 2 additionally comes with an Endless Mode, as well as a Custom Mode so you can create your own unique loadout of weapons and baddies.

Gorn 2 is coming to the Horizon Store for Quest 2 and above, and PC VR headsets via Steam on April 17. The studios say its PSVR 2 version will be launching this Summer, although there’s no exact release date yet.

"Schleswig-Holsteins Digitalisierungs-Minister Schrödter wirbt vor dem Hintergrund der wirtschaftlichen Spannungen mit den USA für die Abkehr von Microsoft-Produkten. Die Gefangenschaft in Softwarelösungen großer, insbesondere außereuropäischer Anbieter sei nicht nur eine Sicherheitsbedrohung, sondern lähme auch das Wachstum der eigenen Digitalwirtschaft, sagte der CDU-Politiker der „Bild“. In dem Bundesland ist die Abkehr bereits beschlossen.

Man könne es schaffen, digitale Souveränität durch Nutzung quelloffener Systeme zu erreichen, sagte Schrödter. Schleswig-Holstein verfolgt nach Angaben von Ende November als erstes Bundesland diesen Weg. Die Landesverwaltung soll in einigen Monaten ganz ohne Microsoft-Programme wie Word, Excel und Outlook auskommen. Dann sollen die rund 30.000 Beschäftigten mit Open-Source-Programmen arbeiten, also mit Software, die in offener Zusammenarbeit entwickelt und gepflegt wird sowie jedem zur Verfügung steht."

#CouchPeloton It would seem that if you want to watch De Brabantse Pijl in Australia then your only option is one of the pirate streams since it's not on SBS, Staylive, Flobikes or Stan. No idea why Staylive isn't showing it in Australia.

The human body's response to HRT is actually admirable in the sheer indifference. Just pure I Don't Give A Shit, I Just Fucking Work Here compliance to the new instructions. You can get testosterone injected straight into your body and it doesn't even question where that shit came from, coming back from a coffee break and just going

"Okay, everything seems to be in ord- oh fuck now what? Oh huh. Alright fine. New orders came in, cancel the menstrual cycle. Dig up the genetic balding patterns from somewhere, I don't fucking know they're buried somewhere in the dna. I'm greenlighting the growing-hair-on-your-toes thing. Yeah just cancel the ongoing maintenance processes, new orders came in so this is apparently what we're doing now:'
