Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal

I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek

This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌

Yeah, that’s a fair concern. I wish somebody would create a custom ROM you could replace the Meta shit with or something

I was in the same boat as you. I ended up getting the Quest 3, because frankly, it’s one of the best headsets on the market right now. While Meta still tries it’s best to vacuum my data, I’ve disabled as many data sharing options as I can find.

I do most of my VR gaming on PCVR through Steam Link, which is outstanding. If you have a PC and a good WiFi 6 router, you can avoid the Meta marketplace for the most part by buying PCVR games on Steam directly. That way Meta doesn’t get as much data out of you.

Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It’s not just spez, it’s any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.

Ah, that’s fair. I’m a pretty casual player and didn’t really go deep beyond the medium skill levels, so I didn’t really appreciate the cut-corners beyond that. I hardly even played much multiplayer TBH, I played and loved the single-player campaigns, which is what I tend to do on most games :D

I saw that announcement video when it first came out and was super hyped for The Division. I didn’t end up playing it until around 2019 and I was really impressed with how close to the trailer the actual gameplay was. I know it had some controversy, but I guess I’m easy to impress lol

They’ve only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It’s performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.

Very impressive! Apparently the slightly weaker version is bring released today in Bard, which is still not available in freaking Canada.

The more powerful version which claims to beat GPT4 at MMLU comes out next year.

I was never particularly into the cyberpunk genre, so I was largely immune to the Cyberpunk 2077 hype, and subsequent disappointment and anger. I’d seen tons of videos of trailers and gameplay, and never really expected to play the game myself.

I built a beast of a new PC a few days ago and picked up CP2077 on sale to put it through its paces. I loaded up Cyberpunk and my jaw was on the floor. This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen! The gameplay feels smooth and satisfying and I’m really engrossed in the lore and environment. Of course, I’m playing the 2.1 patched version of the game, so I don’t know what the experience at launch would have been like. Regardless, so far it’s felt like an incredible game!

I don’t know if this characterization is true. From all that I’ve read Ilya Sutskever was always the star and most important asset of OpenAI. Altman seemed like the SV money guy. Money should no longer continue to be as big of a problem for OpenAI, although the coup will definitely have spooked investors.

Edit: personally, I’ll add that Altman gives me major ick vibes, similar to Musk, although I can’t fully justify them. His WorldCoin scammy project convinced me that he was not the person who should be in charge of potentially in charge of advancing is towards AI.

Ilya and Denis Hassabis are more the kind of scientists with the mettle that I would trust more with the responsibility of stewarding proto AGI into existence. They both seem to understand the magnitude of what they are creating.

Yeah, just realized that. On first read I thought he was just helping with the transition, but this seems more like he’s been kicked off the board too, although is still employed (for now).

Very interesting indeed, given that Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman are in the board.

As OP now mentioned, they have still the button navigation, so the swipe navigation probably should not be activated for them.

That’s precisely the problem. OP and I have the same setup, and Sync is incorrectly responding to the swipe.

When I swipe up slowly, I see all open apps. When I do it fast, I come back to the home screen.

This doesn’t seem related to what’s being discussed here, that’s the Android task manager, which in OP and my case is the button on the right (the three bars).

@ljdawson@lemmy.world would you be able to confirm if this is Sync-specific functionality, and if it is intended please? Thanks!

Oh, very interesting, and this is when you swipe on the back button, i.e. the left of the screen? Which OS/device do you have, out of curiosity?

For me on Android 12 on S10e, no other apps display this behaviour.

You are right, I’ve experienced the same thing. I’ve tried disabling all Sync settings relating to swipe actions and even enabled the setting to open the drawer instead of exiting when hitting the Android back button. No other apps have this gesture, and I’ve verified this is not an Android/Samsung setting. This seems like a big.

No, that’s not true. Note that he’s not talking about hitting back, rather swiping up from the Android back button. All other apps ignore this gesture. The gesture itself is different from what happens if you hit the back button in Sync.

Neat, the customization does help make it look a lot better than the defaults. I wonder why they didn’t just make this the new UI.
