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've found in my experience that over the years my internal voice updated to match how I sound when recorded. So when I hear myself speaking on a recording it's much less jarring now since it feels much more like how I predicted it would sound.
I know this doesn't help your current situation but it's a fun fact I recognized since you mentioned it.
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'll be pedantic and say that CEOs are paid to think everyone has money to spend. ;)
But I totally agree with you.
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?
Well it's pretty damn cool for a single dev then, I'm impressed. I like the idea of giving money to a talented dev and not to reddit, too, so that feels nice.
I am looking forward to the lifetime payment, yeah. Is Sync made by a single dev? I don't know anything about this app aside from everyone clamoring for the team to make a Lemmy-compatible version.
I also find myself using Lemmy less than Reddit but I'm hoping as we discover and tailor our feeds with more fitting communities then it'll naturally become a healthy replacement. It took me like 10 years to curate my reddit algorithm.
As a Jerboa user who just started using Sync, I can honestly say it's really fucking slick. Like really slick.
But the system also makes it so that when people act purely selfishly for money, that it results in good outcomes for everyone.
Nobody should take you seriously.
Use archive.is these days, it's not perfect either but you get the added bonus of archiving the page for future folks.
