If you don’t mind a copy of their “Lite” version that often ships with audio hardware, you can google a method to generate a valid license key for that version that doesn’t require buying anything. ;)

I call it sequel but I’ve heard squirrel and squeal.

That’s a great question actually, lmao

… is flying not a superpower? :(

Use archive.is these days, it’s not perfect either but you get the added bonus of archiving the page for future folks.

I can’t seem to find it in a Google search now so I’ll take a look at my server in case I ran the script there and saved a copy. There appear to be a lot of similar tools now to assist with people moving over from Reddit but this script was really quick and handy.

And every time I try to pull off a sweet gymnastics maneuver below an air conditioning unit suspended by failing screws…

I did this on my instance. You create a new user and give the script those credentials, it goes out and subs to all the trending communities across the various instances so now my instance has a big mish-mash of communities federated, not just the ones I originally subscribed to on my personal user.

I know a guy who also won his hearing but now has to enforce the ruling, and it seems like it’s completely up to him to now to get his money? Like he has to seek out bailiff services himself I guess? It feels pretty strange to hear that he won the hearing against his landlord, they owe him money, but getting the money isn’t some automatic process. Like what’s the fucking point?

Yeah I woke up to bright flashes of lightning and loud thunder. Forgot how much I missed that sound.

When I first got into VRChat to hang out with some friends, I thought maybe I could survive just playing on desktop for free. Now, a couple thousand dollars later, I own a Valve Index, extra base stations and 4 trackers for full-body tracking.

I miss lockpicking, it’s so cathartic. I used to have a small set of picks and folks near my desk at the office would often try to pop a padlock I kept around when we were bored. I liked how everyone seemed so interested in the ease with which you can pop many locks.

I just wanted to throw in a thank you for kicking off this discussion. It’s good to tackle this sort of thing early and I really appreciate your tone and compassion, OP.

I’ll be pedantic and say that CEOs are paid to think everyone has money to spend. ;)

But I totally agree with you.

Anecdotally, I’ve bought 3 keys over the years from g2a and 2 of them immediately didn’t work. Iirc there’s a big button you click during checkout if your key doesn’t work and the seller immediately has to provide you with a working one. That’s not g2a though, that’s just the seller providing you with another cheap key from their collection. G2A is scammy in other ways too (I’ve yet to be able to cancel their $2 “insurance” fee or whatever they call it the first time, it’s been years and I’ll probably have to chargeback since their site just throws me errors when I try to cancel. PayPal won’t even let me cancel it from their end.)

Why defend them?

How could one make it impossible for others to shun or ostracize them?

When you figure it out you can sell it to Elon Musk for billions.

Yeah this one right here. I run my own little instance, made it easy to choose.

Did the blog’s author just update the header of that post recently? It seems to indicate this was expected behaviour from the instructions they forgot they gave to ChatGPT.

oh god are we naming strains after horrors we’ll never unsee, now?
