It's leaving theaters in most locations on Thursday, so don't snooze. Get to the big screen while you still can.

Just saw Wildwood. One of the most heartbreakingly beautiful movies I’ve seen in years. The story would shine on its own, but in combination with the breathtaking hand animation it is truly a masterpiece.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Woops, I'm aware that disabling visemes also disables mouth tracking. I think this prefab won't be able to disable visemes since their blendshape names can differ between avatars. :( But you can totally set it up yourself

This is a juvenile arctic tern on Inner Farne Island in July. Its also got a bit of a green background, so maybe a twofer. For Rob and Alan’s #BirdoftheDay themes #Juveniles and #Green. #Birds #Northumberland #Farnes #Nature #Wildlife

Bruh. This is some of what's required to make the new face tracking system work with current avatars and act the same as before. I had to reference VRCFT's source code and a gigantic blendtree. And I'm not even done yet.

Even current FT still confuses people sometimes. I've seen multiple bases that include an entire modified copy of jerry's prefab (or worse, they *override* the installed version) instead of using the global parameters from the package πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ I can't imagine what mistakes will happen with the new one

Old system: Create specific blendshapes and drag a prefab onto the avatar New system: Either create EVERY POSSIBLE FT BLENDSHAPE, which most avatars don't even have, or copy a gigantic list of equations between all of your avatars

The new system is great for performance and selfie expression, but it's going to be an INCREDIBLY long, painful transition for all creators. :(

TIL shaders can access weight painting (but you need to know the exact bone ID to do anything useful with it, which I'm scrolling around in this clip)

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT anyone who uses php for literally anything: shut it down until you've applied the patch that will become available at 14:00UTC everyone else: maybe lock your credit cards for a few days, keep an eye out for anything weird, and update all of your devices

nightshade β†’home, for now@nightshade.technology

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

There are ways around this. They involve trusts. Get your aging parents to talk to a lawyer to keep their assets protected.

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck
