The Steam Frame is released. At a shockingly high price range, but that's RAM for you in these post-ai days.
This means improvement on Linux VR in general with all the latest patches. The home-room is updated, the menus all looking fancy and new. Even if you got an old Vive.
Even more exciting than that, Steam have agreed to serve my place in the wait-queue so one might even arrive here in the coming weeks and thank goodnes it's after payday. If it was a week ago I might have had to give up my place.
Sounds like the Alyx updates intend for that game to run on the machine stand-alone, which would be nice. Able to take that big old complex game on the road to demo at parties.
Anyway. I'm poor again and dunno how long the wait for the package will be, but looking forward to seeing it.
God I hope it's not shit and rescues us from the Facebook-dominated market since they bought Oculus.

The last recommendations are on the need for a flexibility market – but that flexibility has already been sacrificed as a result of those earlier points, restricted to a single purpose.
That may not matter much to the commissioning parties, but it does matter to EV drivers and the energy system.

Absolutely this! From the post:
> Linux users today run high-end workstations, gaming rigs, modern laptops and dedicated media and audio systems. We buy expensive hardware, pay for premium services and care about UX, integration and software that actually takes advantage of the machines we're running it on.
Absolutely this. It's why I got a @… Lemur Pro (10). It works so well and runs for many hours.
And yes, software keeps improving, thanks to multiple parties investing in it. 💝

Lawmakers from both parties have challenged the administration’s interpretation of the War Powers Act timeline.
Thomas Massie, a Republican House member from Kentucky, responded to the updated numbers in an X post, writing:
“Let me explain this absurd ruse:
The Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire.
“The reality: By going more than 90 days without congressional authorization,”
the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, “IS…

Across the country, federal judges are calling out Department of Justice lawyers, questioning in unprecedented ways whether they can be trusted to tell the truth or uphold centuries-old legal norms.
From Washington, D.C., to Rhode Island to Oregon, federal judges nominated by presidents from both parties, including Donald Trump, have zeroed in on what’s called
“the presumption of regularity.”
It essentially means that judges must presume that the government

Etta Baker emerged among the foremost practitioners of acoustic Piedmont guitar fingerpicking,
an open-tuned style not far removed from bluegrass banjo picking;
However, for decades only relatives and friends ever heard her play, as she confined her performances solely to family gatherings and parties.
She finally made her initial recordings in 1956, joining her father and other family members on a field recording titled Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians; …

The most potent force in US politicsis anti-establishment fury at a system seen as rigged against average working people.
AI has become Exhibit A.
Until recently, both parties largely avoided criticizing the wealthy corporate elites that funded their campaigns.
In politics as in nature, one does not bite the hands that feed.
Trump Republicans have instead aimed populist fury at immigrants, LGBTQ people, Black and Latino people, “communists”, Muslims, so-called “woke”…

Senator John Fetterman said last week he would formally switch his affiliation if Democrats make opposition to Israel part of their official platform.
It’s the first time the Pennsylvania senator has laid out a scenario in which he would jump ship.
Fetterman’s colleagues have doubts about his ability to win a Democratic primary.
One Democratic senator, who requested anonymity to speak freely, expressed anxiety over the prospect of an unexpected party switch by Fetterman.
