VRChat is still slowly growing in the background.
The metaverse that was the hype you despise isn’t the metaverse people in VRChat want. Mark really destroyed the term.
The releases/changelog have been weird for a little while now on the PWA.
I feared mine would get broken too, but so far I’m ok. I’m on iOS.
Anyone have insight into why the changelog has been weird? And there was a set of updates that seemed to do nothing recently?
Edit: going back and viewing the recent releases in GitHub they don’t look “blank” or weird or duplicate like they were… maybe they were all hand fixed? - I stand by the feeling that recently things have been odd. I had the user vote tracking appear in the PWA multiple updates before it showed up in the changelog.

I would not have guessed that reply guys replying to really popular accounts would ever check if their reply is a duplicate.
I didn’t catch that this is why Alec stopped posting there. I assumed he was just being sensitive to being a public figure in general.
When you make a channel that is filled with “well actually” and “turns out.” You should expect your audience is into doing the same.
And when you don’t have an algorithm filtering these for you… well, then you get the reality of other people’s interactions. Twitter just optionally hides this reality from big accounts. (I’m talking about what they use to label “low quality replies” or something similar.)
The federation issues of replies/boosts/hearts/etc are still a big bummer, though.
They want an algorithm.
As much as people mock it, or know it’s the source of why social media optimizes for outrage and other unhealthy behaviors, the algorithm is what they are missing on Mastodon.
As someone who always used third party Twitter apps, and never directly saw the algorithm in my timeline, mastodon feels like Twitter always did.
Eighth Annual - Halloween at The Pug! This coming Saturday

Epic is merging Sketchfab, Quixel, ArtStation Marketplace and UE Marketplace into Fab.com
Consolidation in the asset market.
> In 2024, UE Marketplace, Quixel, Sketchfab, and ArtStation Marketplace will all roll up into one destination: Fab. Many of their product features will be integrated into Fab to create a unified experience that brings together our best features and creator communities.
I hope they get placed around town in Madison again. But I suspect that’s not going to be part of the deal.
Damn. They need to revert this change. I don’t get why they would have made it.
I’m also sad that everynoise was halted. Spotify, man. Their recommendations are their only strength.
I don’t think mine was 200 either. Nor is/was discover weekly. And I have used both for years now for the purpose the post says, seeking new music for djing/playlists.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bug that quietly inflated a certain percentage of playlists.
I think I’d like larger playlists for both playlists though!
I’ve been skeptical of how this would be adapted ever since it was announced. I assume there must have been something that didn’t translate well that needs a lot of work.
What? Just slide them down your wrists. /s
The Index controllers are never really out of the way for anything. And sliding them down your wrists is uncomfortable, awkward, not practical for all wrist sizes, etc.
I personally think the Index controllers are overhyped and terrible. They are awkward, didn’t live up to their promise for finger “tracking”, make your hands sweat, they are bulky, the straps are never quite the right tension, they had durability problems, etc etc.
I’m not sold on these, but I can see why others are. And why people in the club scene or who are performers would give them a shot.
I sure miss the original CV1 Touch controllers.
Playlists for St. Patrick's at The Pug - 2024 are finally up!
Check them out at https://thegreatpug.com/music
Playlists from past events are available too!

That sounds icky in the hand…
Seems like ColorWare style painting is a better option. (But much more expensive.)
That’s sad to see. The broadening of VR is a real struggle right now.

They way they do light baking is pretty impressive for what it is.
I’ve never heard of it before either. It doesn’t seem weird to me. Just, the assertion that it’s overwhelmingly common does not sound right.
For UW leadership and corporate interests, “distance learning” goes hand-in-hand with cuts to programs and campuses.
