  • I had really bad performance with an nvidia GPU in VR in Linux, once, and all I could find that described the same specific issue I had was a steam community discussion post by someone who claimed that the steam vr compositor was just bugged, and no less that it was a bug regression, and there was nothing to do but wait for Valve to fix it. I think the post was already a year old when I found it.

    I haven’t tried it again, yet, but I’ve also moved to arch with Wayland since then. And the nvidia drivers did become much more reliable for me, so maybe it will magically work out of the box this time… Or maybe it won’t, and I’ll just end up wasting hours trying to find a solution while wading through AI polluted Google searches again before giving up.








  • I installed Brave earlier this week and that’s mostly true. There’s some built in stuff that will show by default, notably the toolbar buttons and the notification style alert on the new tab page for one of those things mentioned, but you can just close the notification and remove the toolbar buttons and you’re set.

    That said, I think it’s still in the data monetization market like Alphabet with anonymized tokens, though I don’t remember the details.






  • Some religions, for example Mormonism, picked up a taboo of coffee and tea alongside other abolitionist sentiments popular at the time, with similar reasoning to alcohol - caffeine is a psychoactive drug, so it’s not “pure.” Mormonism was founded when early puritanical and evangelical Christian movements grew rapidly in the US, and you’ll see a similar taboo among other Christian sects originating in this time period.

    Yoga probably has the same taboo in American Christianity as Dungeons and Dragons once did during the satanic scare era, and that taboo is likely only due to the link to spiritualist practices in yoga. To the brainwashed evangelical, since it’s not Christianity, it’s Satan.

    Edit: a few words added for clarity
