 haagch#5957 | bluetooth doesn't do high quality audio + microphone input. the bluetooth profiles with microphone input have really low playback quality. and I mean really low. | 22:32:02 |
 Green0Photon | That too | 22:32:10 |
| haagch#5957 | using the high quality audio profiles and the microphone at the same time may work but apparently there is no standard for it | 22:32:47 |
| Green0Photon | I can sometimes forget that because you can use a device's built in mic plus good Bluetooth playback | 22:32:52 |
| Green0Photon | My headphones might still be good in this sense, actually, but I'm pretty sure the mic is still pretty bad. Just i can have okay audio | 22:33:32 |
| Green0Photon | Maybe | 22:33:35 |
 kanetw | i didn't realize how horrifying bluetooth was | 22:38:00 |
| Green0Photon | Aptx is owned by Qualcomm, which is necessary to make bt audio a minimum of less shit | 23:14:49 |

 NEON725 | This project is really cool. Biggest gripe I've seen thus far is that programs which communicate with an existing process don't behave like you'd expect; EG firefox if firefox is already open. I assume this could be alleviated with XPRA, but there's no built-in GUI option that I'm aware of. Will keep experimenting. | 03:45:40 |
| NEON725 | Is it known if simula does anything in particular to fonts? When I open a terminal emulator it cant find the one I like, even though I can add it fine when I launch the same emulator in a regular desktop. It's xfce4-terminal if it matters. | 04:02:49 |
| NEON725 | Also, is there a way to enable GLX contexts for hardware-accelerated programs like games? | 04:07:24 |
| NEON725 | It would also be neat to have a hotkey that hides the software mouse cursor icon on demand. | 04:40:44 |
| kanetw | the firefox stuff is unsolvable unfortunately due to how firefox does things | 04:59:04 |
| kanetw | probably nix shenanigans | 04:59:13 |
| kanetw | * probably nix shenanigans, maybe it's only using nix-supplied fonts | 04:59:23 |
| NEON725 | Yeah I suspected as much. Was hoping someone already encountered this specific issue and knew how to make it behave. | 04:59:43 |
| kanetw | we need to fix that, it broke at some point and it's really annoying | 04:59:53 |
| NEON725 | Ok. Cool to know it's planned to be supported. | 05:00:12 |
| NEON725 | How will the support be for VR games? Currently launching a VR game from steam forcefully stops simula, rather than just "minimizing" it or similar, but I suspect that's my setup at fault. | 05:01:18 |
| kanetw | we haven't worked on that yet | 05:01:48 |
| kanetw | if we can get minimizing to work without killing apps that might be a good solution | 05:02:04 |
| kanetw | ideally in the future you'd be able to seamlessly combine simula and games | 05:02:31 |
| kanetw | * ideally in the future you'd be able to seamlessly combine simula and games/othre v rapps | 05:02:33 |
| kanetw | * ideally in the future you'd be able to seamlessly combine simula and games/other vr apps | 05:02:38 |
| NEON725 | Is there an existing workflow that allows someone to detach simula from the VR backend? I could see it being possible with a wrapper script that could be injected in steam launch options, so fairly seamless. | 05:03:08 |
| NEON725 | Unless there's not currently a way to do that without losing apps/closing simula. | 05:03:29 |
| kanetw | not rn | 05:06:07 |
| NEON725 | Is there an approximate date or commit where this was known to be working? Or is it suspected to be an upstream/dependency/environment change? | 05:27:11 |
| kanetw | likely before we moved to godot | 05:29:54 |
| kanetw | it's doable just need to figure out the right wayland thing | 05:30:10 |
