I'm a semi-retired computer programmer and sysadmin. So I do lots of
volunteer work for things like looking after Devuans package mirrors, and
virtual world stuff. The real virtual world stuff that has been
operating for the last 16 years, not this new metaverse crap that is of
lower quality. I even did a parody virtual world metaverse farted, but
Meta set a really low bar to get down to, I'm 62. I can't limbo like I
used to. You can visit it from any other OpenSim based virtual world,
which is something this new metaverse hype promises, but hasn't delivered
yet. You can use it from VR, I added that to one of the viewers before
this generation of VR headsets came out. I was using an Oculus
development kit.

Brisbane, Australia. Think we are straying off topic now.
