That's good to know. I think when I tried it before, I ran into issues signing into multiple devices at once. Chances are, I just got the apps confused in memory though. Thanks!

Coincidentally I was just listening to a podcast episode asking this very question. If anyone here used to listen to Reply All, it's the new podcast from PJ. Only a couple episodes out, but this is titled "What's going on with Elon Musk?" and talks about him, social media, and the convergence of the two. Podcast is called Search Engine, and I think it's on all the usual platforms.

...this post kinda reads like an AI-generated plug, but I just really loved Reply All, and am hoping this fills that niche for me.

My friend group uses google the same way apple users use imessage. The implementation has changed many times over the years (google chat, sms integration, hangouts chat, whatever), but it's always basically been the same thing and it's usable from any device. That's my main complaint about ~~signal ~~ and telegram: if I'm at home, forget using my stupid tiny phone, lemme do it from my PC that I'm probably on anyway.

edit: tried to strike out signal, but it's ignoring the formatting I guess.

As an American, the first half is in line with my experience. As far as group chats, we all use google for that.

Thanks a bunch!

Vivecraft mod for Minecraft

Can't overstate how great it is if you're into Minecraft. Stepping into the world gives such a difference sense of scale to things.

It's worth keeping track of the universal unreal vr mod in development. I realize this post says "yet", and this is still in development, but they've mentioned a release this year and it should open up a ton of great games.

This is intriguing. Are we talking about 3D youtube vids here?

Man, I haven't played through Myst since... the original Myst. I heard that Firmament was a bit of a letdown, but I really should go back and play Myst in VR. Thanks for the reminder!

Also, the lizard people won't steal your thoughts, so that's a bonus!

You can, and I'm doing that right now. Logged into lemmy.ml through their site. However, I can see how one might be hesitant to log in through a 3rd party like this. It does look really nice, but I do wish it had a light mode as well.

This seems to be a pretty popular thought, both in this thread and many others discussing Lemmy. I'd put real money down that the 3rd party apps will get this going, but for actually using the website on a PC, I'm imagining it'd be up to the devs/admins of whatever Lemmy instance you're using.
