There was an interesting thread on reddit a while back about the loss of presence. Apologies for the reddit link, if you don’t want to or can’t click it, the thread basically is discussing how certain older headsets (OG Vive, PSVR) have a “presence” that seems to be lacking in some modern headsets, how the feeling of “being there” is getting somewhat lost. As someone who has an OG Vive (and has never used any other VR) and is considering getting a Frame, how would you say it does in this regard (and any others, if you’ve reviewed it anywhere and want to point me to it)?

Could be worse. I was convinced it was 41 years ago.

Do you want to know the real reason Trump hates California? I’ll tell you. It has nothing to do with politics," Kimmel said. He then showed a clip of California Gov. Gavin Newsom – who called Trump “deranged and dangerous” after the Iran comments – greeting the first lady with a side kiss.

“It’s because our governor got farther with his wife than he has in 15 years,” Kimmel quipped.

haha wow

Apologies, I only just now saw this. The recipe I used for this pizza is below.

Tomato Sauce (makes enough for four pizzas)
One 28-oz can of San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
3 tbs tomato paste
1 tbs olive oil
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp dried basil

Cheese
2 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced (can use more if you like)

Toppings
Fresh basil

Dough
258g 00 flour
50g sourdough starter (at peak)
162g water
5g sea salt
3/4 tsp olive oil

Instructions
Blend juice from tomatoes with other sauce ingredients well in blender. Add tomatoes and pulse to crush, leaving chunks. Refrigerate until ready to use, stir before applying

Mix all dough ingredients (except salt) in stand mixer bowl with dough hook
Knead at medium speed in stand mixer for 15 minutes, adding salt in about halfway through
Let sit for 15 minutes, covered
Do a final knead, 4 minutes
Round dough and place in container and cover, allow bench ferment until at least doubled (use spray oil on container to keep from sticking)
Punch down, re-round and put in refrigerator for cold ferment 24-72 hours
Preheat outdoor oven to at least 900F (~15 minutes on high) Stretch and top your pizza with the sauce and cheese (the pictured pizza was stretched to about 14" and feeds two comfortably)
Turn oven to low, place pizza in oven, close and allow ~15-20 seconds for bottom to firm up, then turn flame back to high
Turn pizza 1/4 turn, 15-20 seconds each turn until 360 is complete
Pizza should bake in around 90 seconds, being careful to turn as necessary to avoid burning near the flame
Add basil after the bake is complete

My dude, it’s written down. There’s an actual book. But this is America, so he very likely can’t read.

Also note my surprised face that the entire account is vaguely homoerotic. Yet again, repressed sexuality seems to be at play here.

This is a great point and it does speak to the Fediverse being more resilient for sure. I still do not wish for numbers like Reddit has, somehow life uh… finds a way (to make everything shit).

This is the thing right here. Enjoy Lemmy as it is. There’s plenty of people here. The more people there are, the more it’s going to suck. Be glad Lemmy isn’t Reddit. I sure as fuck am. Lemmy is exactly the right size. Well, maybe it could double or triple and there would be more content and that would be a net positive, but anything more than that and it’s going to start devolving into the same cesspool that Reddit has become.

My place. First, the food is fabulous. Second, the food is cheap.

Edit: This pizza cost about $3 to make and it’s a really great, authentic sourdough Neapolitan.

I can confirm. Astrid is, in fact, pretty in the sunlight.

Well I’d like to but I’m on the waitlist. >:(

Roll the dice. They don’t get more loathsome than Alito. Pardon me, for a moment I forgot that Thomas exists. Fuck it, roll the dice anyway. Maybe we get a non-lizard-person by accident.

Luckily enough our health insurance bills are getting lower and lower

This is how you know it’s fake.

You’ve really got a gift.

When you think about it, all pasta was fresh pasta at one time.

Do you also hold admiration for their children, who also live and die by their beliefs? Such dedication! Dumb, but impressive!

Your grudging respect is misplaced.

Is he/she friendly? I miss my tuxy so bad, they’re such people pleasers. Maybe give 'em a chance? If not straight feral ofc.

Man, she is one horny motherfucker. Handies in the theater, blowies in the office, lesbian sex in the car… damn! Where does she find the time to rail against the LGBTQ community in-between fucking all the guys and gals in her office?

I had a girlfriend like her once. Once.

It’s also code for “wipe out abortion,” because there is always a non-zero chance of medical procedures having complications and psychological ramifications.
