VR live music performances are becoming a thing in passionate niche communities and the current technical solutions for them are struggling to even contain it. https://twitter.com/2ToneDisco/status/1350746520979611649?s=19 So interesting this comes at the same time that Wave is pivoting away from them https://twitter.com/TheWaveXR/status/1350185163603505152?s=19

I've recreated the old Twitter links_for_twit feed here at @twitnews. Stories I bookmark for our shows will be autoposted with my comments here. Follow if you want a tech news feed (~10 posts a day).
@chidgey @leo I feel like since my instance already has users (though almost all are inactive) I should maintain the instance as-is for those already here. But yeah if I could go back in time I'd probably do single-user.

TIL older school Chinese food restaurants in Korea deliver food with actual plastic plates meant to be returned. They also hire their own staff to do the delivery and retrieval. After eating you set the plates outside your door in a bag and they come pick it up.

Sometimes there's a truly novel idea in the cryptocurrency space that reminds you... for all the BS and hype and vaporware and carbon emissions there could be something that actually gets adopted and is worthwhile and makes cool meaningful positive change. I never feel like *this is it* but instead like a hint that someday something cool could be coming after all https://blog.sia.tech/introducing-piece-dapp-with-multiple-awards-from-hack-the-rainbow-f9997b5786a5
