#FateKeeper is finally publicly announced. A friend has poured his heart into this. I'm so proud of him, and I hope this stunning work gets all the love (and wishlists) it deserves. I mean, who wouldn’t want to dive into this breathtaking world and slay some monsters? www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1A8...

It's too hot to enjoy VR dev rn, so I keep returning to my cozy horror management game on a river steamer. Took this shot from the editor earlier; just love the vibe. #screenshotsaturday

I'm pretty shocked at some of the thoughtless meme posts about the Coldplay concert affair, even from big brands. Like... seriously?

For some reason I kept struggling finding the #Cursor app icon quickly. It just doesn't stand out enough: the actual symbol is too small and too blurry, imho. Decided to take matters into my own hands.

I genuinely can't believe how Google Translate was completely neglected during this AI hype cycle. Nowadays I go straight to ChatGPT, not just for translation, but also because I can provide context and intention. Primary use case: "Translate to colloquial English" How could Google have missed that?

#Meta and #Xbox released the Meta #Quest 3S Xbox Edition. I don't really need it, I haven't played with a controller in ages, but my primal hunter-gatherer instincts are kicking in and I WANT IT. Source: www.threads.com/@boztank/pos...

Beat Saber is abandoning PlayStation VR No new content is coming to Beat Saber on PSVR or PSVR 2

Beat Saber's farewell to PS VR reads like a love-letter to standalone headsets. As a Quest die-hard, I'm torn. Nobody likes seeing a platform dropped, yet this is the clearest signal that mobile XR has graduated from "good enough" to "primary home." www.polygon.com/gaming/60770... #quest #xr #meta

OpenXR Spatial Entities Extensions Released for Developer Feedback The Khronos® OpenXR™ Working Group has released a groundbreaking set of OpenXR extensions that establish the first open standard for spatial computing, enabling consistent cross-platform support for p...

Last week's news on the new OpenXR Spatial Entities extensions was a great one. One spec, one coordinate system, no more "why is my digital whiteboard three meters to the left on your device?" Standards are the gear-oil of innovation!

This week, Resemble AI released Chatterbox, an open source text to speech model that reportedly outperforms (outperformed?) Elevenlabs.

To use this for #indie #gamedev, I decided to build a small wrapper which allows managing own voices and projects.

Got distracted by a game jam and worked on an idea I've had in my mind for a while. Shiny object syndrome is an issue if you have to focus on other things, but right now I have the flexibility, so I embrace the flow of ideas. Details in description! #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGRG...

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Thanks for sharing this, very insightful! It's a pity you couldn't continue the Expedition, but I'm sure this will be continued one way or another.

I had no idea this can be tracked natively, and now I learned why: it's series 6+ only.

Looks like a fun little project! Can you share how you're getting the daily sunlight exposure? Are you pulling data from a 3rd party app?

I have been programming professionally for 20 years and decided to use GC2 because I would have ended up building a similar trigger/action system myself. It's solid and I like being able to edit stuff in the inspector instead of doing it on a separate canvas (like visual scripting or blueprints).

No, it wasn't, I built it myself. E.g. GC2 doesn't have any world space dialogue UI, and there was no Emerald AI 2024 integration into VRIF back then, except for some tips how to migrate the earlier integrations. I have removed Emerald in the meantime, though, so I can't comment on the status quo.

Google Docs will now use canvas based rendering: this may impact some Chrome extensions · Issue #10 · Amaimersion/google-docs-utils Just bring it up as and issue and will be willing to help on any develop to get it ready. Here is the canvas based example https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N1XaAI4ZlCUHNWJBXJUBFjxSTlsD5XctCz6LB3...

This thread was a big help: github.com/Amaimersion/...

I ignored the HTML rendering stuff eventually and focussed fully on the "Kix App" understanding.

This is likely going to break when Google changes something but for now I'm quite happy with the outcome.

Finding the needed values like the text and caret positions was hard and needed some heuristics: both values must be numbers, are likely in the same object, start is lower or equal than end, start is always greater or equal zero, end is always less than the text length,...

Reading the selection was a whole different thing. There's an obfuscated representation of their "Kix App" - that seems to be the name of the thing -, but of course it's nowhere documented and every release seems to change the obfuscation.

As you can probably tell from the video, writing was the easier part after all, but it doesn't involve any Google magic. I simply send keypress events to the ".docs-texteventtarget-iframe" IFRAME.
