Thanks. I think I might just not worry about it and let the machine fall asleep on its own if I miss the window.

The hold music I'm hearing right now sounds like something out of a 1990s Amiga demoscene release and I'm low-key loving it. Recorded a snippet of it even.

I'll never not be angry that we learned in 2020-2023 that there is a better way to do office work, saving so much time and hassle commuting, fuel, etc....

Then we just stopped because idiots.

I'm on the fence when it comes to gas prices. On the other hand, it costs people money. On the other hand, it drives EV adoption.

EVs and motorcycles for the win!!

I saw this yesterday and it blew my mind too. It's so obvious when you think about it, the credits are moving up one scanline per frame, and each rotation of the disc is a frame and you can see the scanlines.

But I never thought I'd actually SEE THIS.

I've configured the power button on my Windows PC to make the machine sleep.

But it doesn't do that when the system is locked. Power button is ignored in that case.

Is there any way to get the power button to ALWAYS sleep the computer? Internet searches came up lacking.

Heh yeah. :) coming up on two years since I did that. Probably time again soon.

I also have one at work that needs cleaning but I never have spare time at work to do it. :/ At least there's no cat hair there.

It is time!

Skateboarding was def Fridays theme! Another #vancoufur sketch commission, this time for @phenokage.bsky.social !

I hope that's a ref to this song because it's one of my faves. :)

I know right????? Too bad it's PC only or I'd be immediately sending it to Astra to use for a future meet.

Blocking people in VRchat is literally like this and it's hilarious.

I blocked a troll recently, POOF they vanished.

Their friend was like "WHY DID YOU BLOCK MY GIRLFRIEND" and *block* POOF gone too.

It was AMAZING. I wish I had such powers in real life.

BTW this world will grind your GPU into a thin paste. But as you can see it's worth it. :)

Whoah, I'd forgotten I took this photo in VR last night. It's just... magical.

Ironically AI is even messing with MY mental health, even though I don't use it! Because I see how much harm it's doing, so I'm depressed.

Yup. And yes she likely would have been overly friendly to corpo interests... but ya know?

I vastly prefer a corpo-friendly president over a different even more corpo-friendly, but also trans-bashing, immigrant-assaulting and war-starting president.

Likewise. She was good on nearly all the issues that matter to me.

Notice, I say "nearly". Because I don't expect perfection from a candidate. That would be deranged behavior.

I'm glad you're okay. This whole war is such bullshit.

BTW off topic, did you ever get into VRchat? You have a cute av you're using there to stream, so I just wonder. I remember you picking up that Quest 3 when you were here. :)

There's a few (thankfully few!) younger people out there who seem to think we all just stop enjoying things once we're over 35 or so. It's sad. I wonder about their older role models.

I have friends and acquaintances all across the age spectrum and they are all awesome in diverse ways.

Honestly this is a bit worrying because Meta has been a reliable source of affordable yet capable VR headsets and if they abandon the market the hobby will just get more expensive.

Steam Frame seems promising but now we have no idea when that will come.

This person was SO INVESTED in their anger over the defeated Daleks, too. I wish I could find that again.

Reminds me of, years ago, a chud posting on someone's fan art of MLP ponies defeating Daleks with magic, saying there's no way Daleks can be defeated by ponies in this crossover between two fictional universes with different rules.

Probably the most hilariously dumb annoying commenter ever. :)

That 8GB of RAM is just... ouch. I can understand why but it still sucks.

Life seems messy and squishy but it seems like once you get down to this scale it's incredibly precise.

(and no worries, it's not something serious this time.)

The few times I do have to interact with our healthcare system really scares the shit out of me when I think about getting older and needing it more.

Freaking hell. Just trying to reach an actual person on the phone is an ordeal.

C/FO🎞️

In any case, most of ya'll are likely smart enough to not fall for this shit, but just in case, DON'T FALL FOR THIS SHIT.

Noticing an uptick in fake "Your order is on its way!" and "Your receipt" type E-mails, for random products, usually something like Norton antivirus, with amounts in the hundreds of dollars.

My guess is they're trying to get people to panic and call the scammer which will then steal info...
