All right. Welcome to office hours. I'm your host, Mr Pro.
I'm,
uh
we
get through it a bit.
Her
put my English back together here.
Um, we're gonna get her going. And have we got boop?
OK, try again.
Uh, we're gonna get going with questions that are in the question thread.
I'm just gonna, uh, at tag, uh, office hours a little bit more.
Um, so that people know that we're starting.
If someone can confirm that they can hear me, that would also be great.
I forgot to do a mic check. OK, Perfect. Thank you.
All right, let's move on with questions. So chalk
says, how is prime doing? I'm good.
Uh, just existing,
uh, weather's cooling down a little bit, which is is great.
It means I don't have to run the 20. The air conditioner 24 7.
Uh, which is is great, because expensive.
Um,
Anyway, let's go through
Zen
weo
cheese cheese. Yep. Great. Cool.
Uh, red says why doesn't the light tool or mesh tool, respect, tool, tip position.
That does sound like a bug.
So I would encourage you to go ahead and make sure that there is a, uh,
bug opened for that one.
I'm taking a BRI brief. Look at the light tip.
Now, I do see some code that deals with the tips of the light tip.
Uh, so I'd have to look into those, which means we'll need a bug report. Thank you.
Fun fact. Here, the, um,
colour tip uses a
tan two a tan two is one of my favourite mathematical operations.
Uh, because you basically use it everywhere.
All right? Doug wants to go out.
Um, so we're gonna have to make this AAA short one than usual.
So we're going to be going only to sort of, like half past, maybe 35 past.
Uh, as for that, there are no additional questions in the, uh, question. Do
do.
So
there we go.
Uh, alright. There's now a question from, uh, ZANU.
Who says what features functions will be in the web account. Dashboard, have,
um we wanna make sure that it has, uh, basic stuff to start with.
Um, one of the reasons behind that is because of the, uh,
requirements that we have for swapping over towards, uh,
stripe for billing and and other payment providers, etcetera.
Stuff like that we just We need a website to to to take a look.
Um,
so those are the ones we'll be primarily going towards, uh, but,
uh, we'll probably add whatever we can, then, like, uh, the, uh ultimately,
it's got to sort of,
like be in lockstep with the actual profile
system that exists inside the actual engine.
And currently, it is not so, uh, be important to do that.
Uh, Flux says on context menus.
Disabled flick should prevent dragging to navigate, right? It seems to do nothing.
Uh, I don't remember the like description of disabled flick, uh, disabled flick.
Final references.
Uh, context, menu options, disabled flick. There it is.
I don't think it disables, um, dragging, but like,
it disables the the flick operation.
So the the flick operation is where you, um
Oh, my God. Do I just like launch resonate?
Yeah. I'll just launch, resonate and and show you
I. I
struggling to describe it,
so we'll go back to disabling flick.
Um, Mr Dab says, uh, on the same topic, we'll be able to modify profile pictures.
I don't know. We don't really have, like, a feature list for the initial.
Um dashboard.
Like I said, we're doing it primarily for payment related problems. Uh, right now,
uh, and so to that end, we, uh, might
leave off some features or add some features that are in that particular area
ultimately, though, Yes, uh,
we wanna make it so that you can edit all of your profile features from there.
I just I just don't know if that would be, uh, included in the start. Uh, trend
says, will the, uh, pricing stay the same?
Uh, with the alternative payment options,
there might be better pricing or or edited pricing.
Um,
one of the reasons for heading over to different payment providers is
so that we can get a better deal on our side.
Uh, but it also means that we can sort of, in some cases, pass that deal on towards you.
I don't know what
um, that means,
uh, trunk says it will not get worse. I can't promise that. Right.
Um,
I by the way, I adopt the kind of sort of promising, um
uh, the promise approach that doctors do as well, Which is like,
doctors can't promise
that you're gonna be OK after a surgery, right?
They they They try to avoid doing that. Like I can't promise
that the pricing won't ever get bad.
Um,
because let's say inflation doubles tomorrow because I don't know. It just does.
You know, US politics are a mess right now.
Um,
we'd have to adjust our prices, right?
So, I, I can't promise that they won't change.
Um, what I can promise is that we'll be communicative of what's happening.
Oh, I changed locomotion to teleport. That's why I can't move in in this this world.
Um
all right, let me
Alright.
I'm now, like,
broadcasting resonate in my local home because I'm I'm
logged out for the 4/100 time this week.
Um, I don't know. I never know why. Like, Resonate loves logging me out, but
it does. Anyway, um,
So flick, if you're all watching,
um,
is this thing. So when you open up a context menu,
what you can do is drag here and then let go. So you're not clicking it.
You're sort of flicking to it.
Um, so again here, I'm sort of flicking to it
when that's disabled. You can't do that. You have to, like, manually push the items.
So there you go.
That should have explained it.
Uh,
Zoner
says, uh, is the lack of on my do,
uh, dashboard any sort of block of renting zone lane builds?
No,
not at all.
Um, let me just close. Resonant again.
I don't particularly want to be hearing the local home music whilst I'm in here.
There we go.
And with that, we're actually out of questions again.
So, uh, do keep those question. Oh, dogs destroyed a toilet roll tube notice. Oh.
Well,
do you have any additional questions? Go ahead. Uh, listen them in.
What do you do? Oh, he's licking my toes. Stop it.
No licking of my toes. I don't want my toes to be licked.
It's got Iook
is going on as well. Uh,
lizard says, uh, would strap allow for more, uh,
types of support payment options outside a monthly subscription?
Theoretically, yes, possibly. No.
Um,
I'm not sure. Like what Our final pricing model is gonna be looking like.
What I will say is that with stripe, we do have the ability to,
uh, completely upend that that pricing model and make it make sense.
So if, uh if it mathematically, it works out that we should have, Um,
like, you know, a bunch more options. We will,
um, and it's looking that way.
Um, I think, for example,
it would be great if you could be more selective about what you
want or buy only stuff that you need or maybe buy extras,
et cetera.
Uh, but II, I just I don't know how all that's gonna be broken down yet.
We haven't done the sort of mathematical analysis for it. But
like a good example of something we might might might,
uh, offer is like, Oh, let's say that you
are already subscribed for
10 gigabytes and you need one gigabyte more.
You might be able to say, Oh, I'm gonna add
an additional gigabyte, and that would be a different price.
Um, so that that's cool.
Uh, and then it might be like, let's say you need, uh, another group.
For some reason, that might be like, uh, another extra You could add to your bill.
Ignore the Turing machine question.
I'm not, um I'm not qualified to answer that one.
Uh, OK, um,
Dave Heiser says, uh,
I have a VR check website.
I can open up the VR check website and see who's in game where they are.
Is this feature of resin I could develop? Yes. Um,
there are several community solutions for that.
Uh, we also have the active Sessions Channel here in this discord.
Uh, but ultimately, a website or application would be good.
John Black says, Is the translator badge available to be obtained?
Or was it only given to people who do translations fast? It is open.
It is open season for the translator badge.
Uh, we provided information in a reasonable, uh, reasonably S uh, recent update.
Uh,
make an issue in the local
repo. If you've submitted APR there, we'll get you the badge.
It's Tuesday today, right?
Yeah. OK,
Uh, just like on the translator badge, Just make an issue.
We'll sort it out on the issue.
I, I don't wanna, like, sit here and do Like,
three years ago, I made one online change.
Does that, like, just make an issue and sort it out there
otherwise will be here all day. It'll be like,
I don't know, it'll be like America's got talent in here or something. Like,
What's your localization? Um, talent act.
Oh, it's It's
I wrote the French translation and I did 14 lines. OK, cool. You get a badge?
I don't want that. Uh, so I put it in the gap issue.
Um,
so skipping the local questions, Josh says, What's the dog doing?
Dogs chewing on their bone right now.
I got one of those, uh, like, plasticky, Nyla bone things that you can chew on.
I bought a three pack of those bones, actually.
Um, and I don't know why, but it was like America themed.
So it had, like, American flags all over the cardboard packaging
and the bones inside it were three Nyla bones, Um, a red, white and blue one.
the white one. He chewed until it needed to be disposed of. Um, do check. Uh, the Nyla
bone website, if you're not sure what a Nyla Bone is, but there we go.
Um, and so I threw away the the the white one cos that was done.
Um, And then, uh, he went on to the red one.
That was in the pack, and I don't know where that one is. He did not finish the red one.
I did not throw away the red one. I just I don't know where it is.
I've been looking for it for a while.
I know what happened. Which is when I was looking after the second dog.
Uh, the second dog grabbed it one day and, uh, like,
dragged it around the apartment a bit.
So, like, I presume it's,
uh,
somewhere,
but I haven't been able to find it.
So I immediately turned around a game and the blue one.
So now we've got the blue and red one. It should be out in play.
The blue one was, uh, the toughest of all of them.
Apparently, according to the packaging,
uh, Cassie says, is there any hope of reopening the, uh, registration?
It's just not there.
Uh, it
like, we we could
theoretically do it, but we would have to drop a lot of other priorities.
There is a, um,
like, uh, an upshot in that, which is the account website stuff for, uh, stripe.
And all sorts of stuff like that will get us to a, uh,
a better state to answer that question later.
It's just it's not a priority right now.
Um, it's it's very difficult to,
uh, uh, find time for that. Compared to
finding time, uh, to to do stuff that is on the priority list. Unfortunately,
uh, MRVR, you are at prime time office hours.
You can click the link, um, above your question
for a question thread.
And then the message before that which says
prime started prime time office hours is an event
which you can open up and click. And it will tell you what is going on.
All the information has been provided.
Uh, I see no additional questions in the question thread, so keep them coming.
Uh, we'll be heading off at half past so I can walk the dog. All
right, I've got an email. What's an email?
Oh, that's fine. That doesn't matter.
Uh, paradox says, are there any plans, uh, to use the discussions pages on the ResMed
wiki? You're free to use them.
Uh, there's a couple of talk pages that actually have some contents on them.
Uh, I wanna install some, um,
extensions at some point that make the talk pages a little bit more functional,
provide notifications when people add topics, et cetera.
Uh, but yeah,
most of the conversation should should stick in in in hashtag wiki right now.
I think we're getting there on,
like getting people to understand that a wiki is a wiki.
You can just do the hell what you want.
Um, I'll come around and fix it later if there are any mistakes.
Uh, but
I think talk pages on wikis is like another sort of mental barrier.
Like people don't.
It's like, How do I, like talk to someone on on Wiki?
Like If I drop it dog, drop it. If, um
now if it's on Media Wiki, for example,
here's how you talk to someone you edit their talk page,
which just it's like it's not a message that you said you like, add text to a page.
It's weird.
Uh, OK, so Mr VR says, uh, are you going to come out? Be coming out on the medics
to
mest three.
Stand alone, Stand alone Support is something that we would want to look into.
At some point. It is not currently a priority.
We do have the RB shoes open on that you can vote up if you are looking forward to them.
Um,
trend
says it is acceptable to create add stuff to the wiki that I'm not sure about, OK,
I'm gonna say this.
I'm gonna have to answer this multiple times again. I don't mind, but
add it to the wiki.
Whatever the hell you want, like a good example here to to think about is
let's say that there is a component which has a field on it
and you know nothing about the component except for that one
field.
Um I. I don't know what the field does.
I don't have an example,
But let's just say you only know about that
component's one field and you know it well,
like you're the leading expert on that one component field.
Add it to the wiki.
Just do it
like beyond me, telling you to just do it. There are no restrictions in place.
There is the moderation queue. But that's like a one time thing for new editors.
But after that, it's like, just do it. Whatever the hell you want, just do it
Occasionally, I will notice some updates that are either,
uh, low in quality or, uh, wrong, and I'll just go fix them and, like,
no one should feel bad about that.
That's the whole point of wiki, right? You put information on there.
And if that information is incorrect or needs updating, that's the job of the wiki.
That's why it's a wiki.
We have multiple pages telling people to edit the wiki. Erin. Um,
I I've just resounded like
resounded. I don't know what word I mean,
I've just come to terms with the fact that
I'm just gonna have to tell people like many,
many, many times,
don't
like, Don't be sorry, it's It's like a weird concept like the W like wiki,
like just as like, a concept
is like a a headspace that that is different to like most of the Web. Right?
Um so the wiki headspace is
Everyone can edit it. It's all like permissively licenced.
No one really cares. Just edit it. And that's the same on Wikipedia.
Um, media wiki, the Runescape
wiki, the
Teria wiki. It's like if you've got information, edit it
now.
Other wikis might have,
like quality bars or or review processes or something like that.
But the start of the of the journey is just edit it right?
All edits all reviews. Just
go through it. Yeah, it's mob documentation. Good, Good. Good analogy. Uh, Dave,
um
Eliza said Wikipedia is a little strict as to how old it is. It isn't.
It's only strict on pages that are,
um, part of categories that are sort of,
uh, more sensitive, like a good example. And I'm not going to talk about politics for
any longer than a couple of sentences.
The
page for the event that happened recently, um,
in the news
that is locked right now because, you know, um,
they want to make sure that all edits to that page are
good.
Uh, zenre says which one Amiga
law.
All of them. All of those recent events,
uh, you know, again not want to do politics for that long.
The, um, director of the Secret Service today resigned.
So her page is probably locked on, uh, Wikipedia,
and we can actually find that out. So we're gonna go to Secret Service.
Uh, Wikipedia,
Uh, control F. Director Kimberly Cheatle is her name.
Yep.
View source for Kimberley Cheetah.
This page is currently semi
protected so that only established registered users can edit,
and you can go to the protection log here
and you'll see
ja, uh, Daniel case on 22nd of July 2024 protected Kimberly Cheatle
edit requires auto confirmed or confirmed access expires first of August 2024.
So they're just like, you know,
they've just whacked a little bit of protection on it.
The Jason schemer for the Heather server currently says use friends as
like really?
Oh, Jesus.
Yeah. It just shouldn't have those items in it.
It looks like better than it was cos I updated it two weeks ago.
So it's it's better than it was.
Uh, it just needs,
uh Why is it doing that?
That's really weird, actually.
So if you look at session access level X dash
enum is is is better. It's got contacts in it.
But
enum, which is part of the the Jason Schemer,
doesn't have contacts in it. So there's like, inconsistencies there. That's fun.
I'll take a look at
it. Uh, let me
let me assign myself that
so I can take a look at it. We also got three issues, apparently.
Oh, yeah, I remember. Those are my issues. Cool.
Uh,
Aaron says they try to avoid the news.
Uh, yeah, yeah, me too.
Uh, OK, Mr Via
says you said that there is a way you can play resonant on the
mest to Ms
Street. There is not a way that you can play that on I. I don't know. Uh, I apologise.
If you got that impression,
there is not, uh, you cannot do that. Currently, we want to work on it.
Uh, you can probably do it with some sort of,
like amalgamation of third party utilities, but it's not officially supported.
Uh, do you remember the, uh, steam link exists? Uh, if you're doing anything,
uh, stand alone. Headset related. Look into steam link right now.
Uh, spec says high prime.
You've already aware that you're trying to get the flip VR controls working? Yes.
Uh
uh,
OK, this is a big question.
So I'm just going to read it and then give you an answer,
which is unfortunately going to be very short.
Um, it seems like resonant struggles with controllers simulated through CV.
R is remapping
completely. My control is by all means present his obvious touch.
They partially work,
but the scale model fails to bind it in
this behaviour of multiple controllers lack support as well.
So no reason why steam VR is fall
back competitively doesn't seem to work fully resonators.
There's currently a my
team as well.
There's probably an issue or and if there's not an issue,
there's probably something inside Fuchs's brain
relating to that.
I just I don't know. It, uh,
para
says was Fed's favourite type of cheese. I do not answer cheese questions next.
No, it's fine. It's a meme. Don't worry about it.
So we just got the issue open for the disabled flick stuff that, uh,
we were talking about earlier on in the office hour session.
And I love the title of the issue
Context Menu. Disable Flick does not prevent flick. I love the name of that issue.
That's that's great,
but Aaron says they keep coming out. Weird controllers.
I've never heard of the FBI like it because, uh, you know, it used to be
VR. Controllers could only be created by H, DC or steam or Oculus
or meadow now, but now it's sort of like
you crumble together. Some, um,
you know some electronics from your cupboard and you can make a VR controller.
The only issue with the flip V RSI see is that I would
probably be flipping them all the time is sort of like a,
um, a
tech or, you know, a stem just like cool sat here trying to focus.
Let me just, like, flick them.
I also don't know how, uh, strong
they are, So I have sort of ideas of me flicking them
like the hinge is snapping at half of the controller, like zooming across the room.
I find it all, uh, like Photoshop VR stuff hilarious.
One of the problems in like, uh,
media as well as we keep focusing on what the peripherals look like.
So in this case, the peripherals, what they look like is important.
Yes, as a visual image for the the flipping concept of the flip VR controllers.
But VR should be about what's inside the headset, not outside the headset.
So, for example, the vision pros like, weird face thing
that to me presented a problem because it was like, Oh,
like some part of the vision pro team
are still concerned with what the headset looks like, which, yes is important.
But not to the level that I would have put a weird screen on the front that presents,
like, a sort of uncanny valley picture of the person,
right the main focus should be what's inside the headset
Now You look up like people playing VR, and all you see is like,
Oh, look,
they're stupid and they broke the TV and it's just like VR has to move on from this.
What's inside the headset?
And it's not even difficult now because they've got, like,
things like Live where you can sort of superimpose yourself into VR
can illustrate very well things like Beat,
Sabre and all other games And that sort of style of media should be used more.
But no,
you just get the two separate halves again
and they over focus on what people look like in the headsets.
All right, let's get on with questions.
Uh, Mr Villa
says, Are you a devil and resonate? Or are you a different I? I am a Dev.
Yeah, you can take a look at Resonate team.
I kind of get like bothered is the wrong word.
I know that you want to go out, dog or just go There it is half past.
Yeah, no more questions. Dog is indicating that they want to go out
for context. Uh, they push a button the nut button
when they want to go out.
I already had the nut button
because, uh, it used to be in my office, Uh, when I used to work in an office
and, uh, it came here
because I didn't work in the office anymore.
And I needed a better way of the dog telling me that it wanted to go outside.
And so
the note. But,
um,
that's Mr Oh, I was going to post the wikileak. Yeah, one of the problems.
It's not really a problem.
It's just like weirdness is like I can never accurately
describe what I do because it changes every five minutes.
Um, like, right now I am talking to you guys doing
I guess what you might call sort of community management or community management
style stuff.
When this is done and I'm back from the dog walk, I'll be programming again.
And then, like a little bit later, I'll be doing some emails,
which is more like project management and stuff.
It's like everything
um,
cha like, says How is Ros
Night package Adoption Looking so far?
It's looking great.
Um, I think it's going to take a little bit longer than others might think, um, to see,
like, widespread adoption.
Um,
I don't even think that we need widespread adoption, right?
It's a It's a feature that people seem to be enjoying.
Uh, and I'm happy to see avatar creators use it, but I don't require them to use it.
Um,
says the wiki says, You have many hats, which is your favourite and white.
It really does depend on the thing. So
my honour, duty, ethics, whatever you want to call it
is to just make resonate cool. That's what I want to do.
And because of my experience in the industry,
I can solve a lot of problems. Um, and that's great.
So I solved them
better leave it.
He has stolen,
uh, a microfiber cloth, which I used to clean my glasses.
I left it on my bedside table.
He ran in there and grabbed it.
He wants to eat it because or play with it because it smells like me. Basically
same as the sock problem.
He likes my socks.
Uh, anyway, that is all of the questions I have time for.
I'm gonna take the dog for a walk.
Probably gonna pick up an Arnold Arnold Palmer on the way back.
Uh, I do actually need to
find
my belt before I, uh, before I, uh, go on a walk or my pants are gonna fall down
anyway, I will be to you guys later.
