Guys, I can't believe it, open source VRChat is here. It's called @overte and it's actually fast. It supports hundreds of people in a single instance and the editor is actually built into the game. You can hang out with your friends and make worlds together. This is INSANE.
The are working on support for Vulkan to make it even faster. Also VRM models so you can have anime girls, of course.
One thing that becomes apparent on open source conferences is how we often treat projects like products, and how wrong that is. There is the subconcious expectation to be treated like a customer. People say "thing X sucks, thing Y is much better" when actually nobody is competing.
They are not products. Nothing is sold here. It's more of an art form. It feels more like art when you're in person with the people making it.
Gosh. It's FULL here. Can't even see the booths behind all the people. Maybe I'll try and get a seat in the Mobile Linux room.
I'm watching a talk about something very important for single user instances like mine. It's live right now!
I decided, fuck it, I'm just going to bring full on soldering tools and a multimeter to #FOSDEM. So if anyone needs to borrow something, send them to me.
Sigh, I couldn't help it. I bought one of these little LED name tags. In amber, because all displays should be amber.
#FOSDEM
I'm quite late to the party, but my hotel for #FOSDEM is now booked. I guess it's official now that I'm going.
Taking my #EV to Brussels to #FOSDEM was a shit idea.
