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

Dune 2, on our 386. Pretty sure my brother pirated the game from a BBS and at the time I didn't know piracy or BBS' were a thing.

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.

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.

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.
