Continuum Gaming E473: SFOS Update 5.0.0.68 & VR Chat Assistent
There is a small little update for all SFOS devices available – but since most of the more interesting stuff is going to be in the following SFOS 5.1 update, it is really just a small bug fix release. Because of that I am going to talk about an FOSS app called "VR Chat Android Assistent", which can easily run on Sailfish OS and talk a little about what VRChat is at all in this episode.
You can find the app "VR Chat Android Assistent" on F-Droid here:

And just to be sure you do not miss it – there is news about Telegram and xAI (Musk's attempt at a spying AI) cooperating with eachother.
I am not sure if this is fake or not, but pretty huge news outlets talk about it. Please read for yourself:

If this is happening, you might want to switch from Telegram to something like Threema Libre:

It is one of the best options for privacy aware users especially but not only in Europe regarding messenger apps, based in Switzerland:
Sadly there is no Sailfish OS native client for it currently, but that may change.
