VRC sent me a survey about why I cancelled VRC+; told them it was because of the (at the time) lack of response to the AI elephant. It was a yearly sub so it won't actually expire till next year, but I'll see what actions they take in the meantime and will consider resubbing.

I keep seeing articles about the latest and greatest.... "High end" CD player. Now, I genuinely do love physical media as much as the next guy, but if you're listening to actual CDs in a non-portable way, do not buy a new CD player. Buy an old DVD player from the late 2000s at a thrift store.

For most people, that's enough. And if you get a good one, it'll have all the buttons on the front that you want. And if you want the best quality audio... Still get the same dvd player, but also buy a good DAC. SPDIF can carry the lossless audio from a CD, losslessly. That's all you need.

Upside of having a 4k monitor: it's so freakin pretty. Downside: It replaced a 1080p monitor in a 3 monitor setup and the scaling changing between the three is SO ANNOYING. I've now used AMD super resolution scaling to make the two 1080p monitors "4k" so that they all match.

How to know you're right: A billionaire says you're wrong.

I rediscovered some pictures online of the old Bay Concourse of Toronto's Union Station. Shit looked liminal as fuck. Everything's so yellow and crowded. I like the aesthetic, but the current renovated concourse is way better operationally. Would love to see this as a VRChat world, though....

Hey @anyaustin.bsky.social, I know you work with meundies; and in fact you're the only reason I know they exist. Unfortunately it appears that they're now working with noted transphobe JK Rowling on Harry Potter branded stuff... It might be time to drop them as a sponsor for your channel.

Also, and I'm annoyed I already submitted my form to @vrchat.com, easy way to let the community police bad thumbnails/AI: User submitted photos of the world. Only allow photos taken by the in-game camera, with all avatars masked out. Only the world itself can be seen.

I mean, sure, someone might find a way to abuse it (uploading useless pictures of nothing), but at least you won't have random nudes being posted. And if someone finds nsfw in the world? Then that's kinda fair game I guess. Makes it easy to report the world.

I'm hopeful that the response VRChat **finally** made means that good change is coming, but I'm gonna keep monitoring. My yearly VRC+ sub is still cancelled, so they have until April to actually implement change.

Also, leaving things unbanned and labelling them just gives incentive to the uploader to leave the heavy handed genAI tools behind so that they actually get exposure. Banning it outright makes those same uploaders want to cheat the ban.

Definitely not saying a full-on ban is what's needed, just that it would make things simple. Like they mention in the post, there's a line between self-made tools for creating your own work and fully generating a "final product" from prompts without any further work.
