THERE! CASTLE!

That’s a good point on how the OS could be “causing” it. I don’t think my take was very likely after I thought about it for a while.

From the pico side of things it does require an account but you can disable any telemetry in the settings. I have looked at my network traffic with it both on and off and they do seem to be true to their word. I wouldn’t trust their apps or App Store necessarily, I just use Pico Connect to connect to my windows PC (or ALVR on Linux) and everything is steam or local from that point on. I’m pretty sure I made the account with a fake name and email and it let me.

I have been playing with ALVR with a NON quest wireless headset. The Pico 4 does sort-of work but it does not work well enough for me to actually use it that way. That’s even with the connection being over USB instead of wireless (though it does also work wirelessly). I hope that someday ALVR is a suitable replacement for Pico Connect or that Pico Connect comes to Linux. (Running on regular Fedora btw)

Maybe has something to do with making assumptions about how the nand controller is going to allocate things across superpages but that is a stupid random guess and also I have no idea why it’s an OS issue but boy do they keep finding ways

Do you have the beautiful blue one?? That’s the prettiest phone to me! I have one as well but I don’t use it anymore, still have it with Lineage as a backup just in case

It’s because of the plate type and lighting!

Sichuan peppercorn / prickly ash! Just chew on one and it makes your mouth go brrrrr

There’s a line in there about ability to institutionalize (paraphrasing) anyone with a mental disorder they deem a threat to themselves or the public, regardless of homelessness. If they make being trans or LGBT+ a mental illness will they start rounding up gay people?

Fongo World seems to be a weird but working option for me.
