I love these updates so much! Thanks for all of the time and effort!

Ah, yes, the native, completely un-Christian culture of... 1400s Italy.

Oh wow, I just finished making a post over there lol. I'd been gone all day and didn't realize there was already a post.

That did occur to me, so I only gave them my old number.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but being irrational alone is not sufficient. There are an infinite number of irrational base-10 numbers that only contain combinations of 0 and 1, for example, and none of them will contain my phone number, credit card, etc.

Not all irrational numbers are normal numbers, and only normal numbers are guaranteed to behave as described in the OP.

I thought pi hadn't been proven to be normal, only conjectured to. My phone number isn't in the digits of pi that we've discovered so far, for example: https://www.angio.net/pi/

The Lemmy devs are outspoken tankies, so I'd understand why people would be reluctant to work directly with them.

That's fair. More 9070 XTs for me!

I agree with Steve from Gamer's Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD's market share would probably double. As it is, we'll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.

I am aware of that. It was part of my decision to move to Linux (and to keep my Windows 10 partition).

That doesn't change the fact that it also doesn't work on Linux, which was the point of my original comment.

I look forward to Monado progressing, but in the meantime Linux is not a solution for gamers who care about VR and own a WMR headset.

What? I am absolutely holding Microsoft to that standard - I quit using their operating system and switched to Linux, for god's sake. If I could use Linux for VR and delete my M$ partition, I'd do it literally right now. But I can't, because Linux doesn't support it.

And, once again, the conversation is literally about VR here - it's completely disingenuous to claim that a platform that at least 10% the market runs on is "a tiny subset".

what you’re failing to recognise is that Microsoft pays teams of hundreds to thousands of developers, and Linux is completely free and donation/grant-based

Wow, you're right! That's never once occurred to me. Wow, what a revelation that I totally failed to recognize after over a year of running Linux on every computer in my household up until this moment on the Linux gaming community. Thank goodness a brilliant individual like you could finally break through my ignorance and make me aware of this little-known fact.

Jesus.

Your concept that because of its open nature it should support everything from the history of gaming and computing is an unreasonable expectation.

Please quote where I said that. Like, a literal, actual quote.

I've really had it with people in this thread shoving their words down my throat. Like, it's really getting old.

Here's what I said (again). Everyone reading this thread, please pay attention and actually READ this time:

"Linux has no obligation to support my headset. They don't have an obligation to support VR at all! However, when the question on the table is 'is Linux gaming ready', the answer should be 'yes, but', and one of the (quickly shrinking number of) buts that must be included is that Linux is not fully VR ready"

Is it true that Microsoft is also not fully VR ready, and that they don't even support the VR platform they themselves suckered thousands of people into? YES!!

Is Microsoft also not gaming ready, since you seem so hung up on what Microsoft does? Absolutely, and in many ways they're even less gaming ready than Linux is, imo.

But, you know who does at the very least tell people that they don't support WMR?

Microsoft.
