Will Virtual Reality just be a fad and die in 10 years, or will it somehow get a use outside of ">muh video games"?
My vote is that it's just going to be a fad.

Why would VR be limited to games? I want VR for anime and movies, but the resolution on current headsets isn't high enough.

Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls...

What are you working on, anonymous ?
# New & Revised /dpt/ Code of Conduct #
We want to ensure that the /dpt/ community, while large and diverse, remains
welcoming and respectful to all participants. To that end, we have a few
ground rules that we ask people to adhere to.
- *Be friendly and patient.*
- *Be welcoming.* We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited
to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour,
immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family
status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
- *Be respectful.* Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement
is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience
some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn
into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where
people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of
the /dpt/ community should be respectful when dealing with other members as
well as with people outside the /dpt/ community.
- *When we disagree, try to understand why.* Disagreements, both social and
technical, happen all the time and /dpt/ is no exception. It is important
that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember
that we’re different. The strength of /dpt/ comes from its varied community,
people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a
viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to
err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on
helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.

This (You) was paid for by the hard efforts of the users of 4chan.
I was making a program to read an html file and break it up into words. But the algorithm I made failed because Im not sure about the formatting of html files. Never worked with them before.
What I tried to was to find every instance of
> > </span>
but that pretty much missed everything.
I was gonna tailor the algorithm to find every instance of
> </span> <span
as well but before I do that I figured Id ask here since I could be taking the wrong approach to solving this.

THREAD CHALLENGE
Replace this class structure and implement the compare function in C.
compare a b must return true if a and b are mathematically the same number. For exampleinteger a = 7;
fixed b = 7.000;
float c = 7.001;
compare(a, b); // must return true
compare(a, c); // must return false
number is the interface of the class hierarchy

Hey /g/ what distro has the best KDE Plasma 5?
Should I go with Netrunner or Chakra?
>>54357475
Chakra is pretty extreme. Normally I hate GNOME and gtk. But I won't deny there are some useful gtk softwares out there.
Netrunner is garbage.
Why no go straight with Arch/Antergos/Manjaro?
>>54357491
Honestly because I'm in need of stable system at the moment, and after all this memeing abour Arch and Arch based distros I don't know who to trust anymore and I dont have time to try them all fully.
Also, what do you mean by "chakra is extreme"?
Arch works pretty well for me
I've been using the same install since 2013 without major issues
