I feel like moderation could be an issue though, since Mastodon is only moderated by the instance admins.

If there was a Nostr for Reddit/Lemmy style communication, it could be possible for the communities to have moderators, so that could be good.

even without Jerboa, the website itself works well

the Quest's web browser is really good even for Twitch, Youtube, Discord

Yeah on my Quest 3 I've sideloaded F-Droid, Jerboa, and ScummVM

Texture healing works by finding each pair of adjacent characters where one wants more space, and one has too much. Narrow characters are swapped for ones that cede some of their whitespace, and wider characters are swapped for ones that extend to the very edge of their box. This swapping is powered by an OpenType feature called “contextual alternates,” which is widely supported by both operating systems and browser engines.

Contextual alternates are normally used for certain scripts, like Arabic, where the shape of each glyph depends on the surrounding glyphs. And they are also used for cursive handwriting fonts where the stroke of the “pen” might have different connection points across letters. Texture healing is a novel application of this technology to code.

basically fonts were already capable of using alternate versions of characters based on their nearby characters, so they used that for these fonts to allow for seemingly-dynamic sizing/spacing

I also noticed you can use sorting methods on the communities list, like sorting them by New https://voyager.lemmy.ml/communities?listingType=All&sort=New&page=1

I meant in tablet mode, much nicer when walking around or using it barehanded

my Quest 3 can run Android apps, I sideloaded F-Droid, Jerboa, and ScummVM into it lol

it honestly works better than expected, no complaints except you can't adjust the aspect ratio of the apps, they just stay in like a portrait mode (except ScummVM which correctly forces itself to always be landscape)

so this music was generated by this code? https://gitlab.com/ellipsenpark/releasecode/-/blob/main/TITLE_CARDS.megra3

that's really cool!
