Q: Prevent HTC Vive from disabling VR due to low performance

I was having issues with some games not loading in VR mode even though SteamVR showed all green. I ended up enabling developer notifications, and saw that I would get a performance warning whenever I opened a game. What I think is happening is that the Vive is shutting off VR as soon as these gam...

Hate speech is not free speech. Should people have set things on fire? No. But should milo get to hide behind free speech? No.

But Milo is basically a troll

I don't have to read EVERYTHING EVER to not be in an echo chamber

@GnomeSlice when you're sharing the opinions of bigots people are going to get annoyed with you. Seriously. You keep acting lie you don't get why people get pissed off when you post shit from milo and other AltRight people in chat, but it should be obvious.

Milo is a misogynist, and a white supremacist. He has outed particular Trans students at his.. Let's call them rallies. He's called for students to call ICE on Muslim students, and he's posted articles about how there should be less women in tech

So when I say he engages in hate speech, I am not saying that lightly

@GnomeSlice we've been over this. Hate breeds more hate. And hate leads to violence.

badp

stupid is not one of them.

murgatroid99

2:08 AM

It doesn't matter if everything he says is shitty. The fact that he's a bigot with a history of hate speech is enough to oppose him, and to oppose organizations you're associated with effectively endorsing him by giving him a platform to speak.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn specific examples would be good

Wipqozn

Something something star wars

Fluttershy

> His mission was to get attacked so as to drum up support for religious extremism. By successfully painting himself as the victim, a warrior of God assaulted by the heathens of the New Left, he could successfully solicit donations from the faithful with a little extra coin to spare. Fear is a great marketing campaign.

GnomeSlice

letting somebody speak does not mean you're endorsing them

badp

yes, and?

GnomeSlice

2:09 AM

just cause SE lets you chat doesn't mean they're endorsing you

badp

I am not an SE employee.

GnomeSlice

whatever, it was the closest thing i could think of off the top of my head

murgatroid99

There's a difference between opening up a floor for anyone to speak, and advertising a talk from a specific person

GnomeSlice

SE is giving you a platform to speak

badp

My employer cannot stop me from having a political opinion and sharing it.

GnomeSlice

2:10 AM

Milo is not an employee of UC Berkeley

@murgatroid99 pretty sure the student group who invited him was the one doing the advertising

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Except no. We've been over this with you over and over again. Everytime you bring up Milo or some altright spokesperson we go over this. I'm pretty confident most of chat is tired of having this exact same discussion with you.

GnomeSlice

at least I assume that's how it works

Sterno

@badp I mean, they could. They make movies about that. Usually it involves people chasing you with guns, and black helicopters, and stuff

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn so... none?

Yeah he's an ass

Wipqozn

All I'm saying is I have no interest in hearing him anymore.

Frank

@Sterno The gravitas of the situation kinda lessens the impact when a hobo hobbles after you with a knife.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice I'm curious as to which "issues" you think he's right on. Is it the rampant misogyny? The racism? The transphobia? Islamophobia? Just which stuff is he on point about?

Anything spewing from his mouth is automatically tainted.

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice He can speak. He has platforms that let him speak. He's an editor at Breitbart. And, like anyone else, he can stand in a park on a soapbox and speak, and the government won't stop him. But that doesn't mean that any non-government institution is obligated to allow him to speak on their property.

Phantom vibration syndrome

Phantom vibration syndrome or phantom ringing is the perception that one's mobile phone is vibrating or ringing when it is not ringing. Other terms for this concept include ringxiety (a portmanteau of ring and anxiety) and fauxcellarm (a play on "false alarm"). According to Dr. Michael Rothberg, the term is not technically a syndrome, but is better characterised as a tactile hallucination since the brain perceives a sensation that is not present. Phantom ringing may be experienced while taking a shower, watching television, or using a noisy device. Humans are particularly sensitive to auditory...

Like, literally everybody is guaranteed some basic income just for being alive.

That's because Canada actually cares about its citizens.

user15026

If they can make it work, I think it will be good for people. I'm not convinced it can/will work as good in practice as it does on paper but this is why people don't put me in charge.

GnomeSlice

they tried it in manitoba or something it says

> A study in Manitoba, Canada done back in the 1970s provides us with an idea of what a community receiving basic income would look like. Many believe people would stop working, and become lazy. They would be half right, some people did stop working in Manitoba. But when you look at the data a little closer, we begin to see how poverty starts at an early age and how basic income could help them get out.

> Here’s the kicker: New mothers were using their additional income to extend their maternity leaves and spend more time with their infants, and teenage boys were using that income to stay in school.

which is where the reduction in working hours came from

or some of it anyway

user15026

Yeah, but I suspect it is going to be hard to get enough agreement to put it through. Which is kinda disappointing

murgatroid99

5:02 AM

I think it's going to happen eventually. As tasks become more automated and the total number of jobs available decreases, basic income is going to become increasingly necessary for society to function

GnomeSlice

Yeah, I can see that happening eventually for sure. I just don't think that we are at that point now where we can make that argument and have enough people in the right policy making spots to make it happen
