Most are girls looking to earn a quick buck living in rundown apartments they aren't willing to show on stream because of all the empty cans of soda and empty cups of instant noodles lying around? 😲

@santiago
And they allowed up to 10 activations for each license to proceed automatically, after that you could email them and after confirming you as a valid license holder, reset the counter.
I even remember those on tighter budget chipping in to buy one license — just to not mess with cracks😅
The problem isn't their unwillingness, but lack of commitment to support old SW in general — not specific to them, they might even not be the worst, I just never had to experience this in person before.

@santiago
Ha-ha, interesting! I had licenses for both: Painter 10/11 and CS2 and I always did a clean install, never bothered to check if just copying would suffice.
Ableton is actually not a bad company — they even legally allowed you to have software installed on multiple machines if you don't use them simultaneously, so you could e.g. have it on your Mac Pro/PowerMac in your home studio and on your MacBook Pro/PowerBook for field recording sessions.

@santiago
Oh, it's not a problem of course, I have newer rig to cover for all my DAW needs — it's for nostalgia value only: invite old friends, use mostly the same gear… Something like that — but such a nice idea hit a brick wall where I least expected it 😂

@santiago
And offline works for base software, but not for additional instruments, without which Live is more or less useless for things other than deejaying. I've been exchanging e-mails with Ableton for over a month, but there is no one there who can still remember how this is supposed to work for older versions. I have the software, I have a license to use it, but I can't do that because "old" — the fuckers! So much for paying for software licenses 😩

@santiago
It was a really cool machine back in its days, not "weak" by any means — I remember using it for jamming with friends and recording it using Firewire interface into Ableton Live: bass, mic and couple of MIDI controllers, it did slow down to a crawl, but it could handle it.
I wish I could "recreate" this experience, but I can't activate Live 8 anymore: online activation fails because libraries in Mac OS X 10.4 can't handle newer TLS…

It went extinct and now you have to re-establish it…

Yeah, some "Late 2005" models came with 1,5 G4 — I remember looking for one of these specifically when buying mine.
I don't benefit from 64 Mb VRAM these days though as it's running headless, but it used to be possible to play Mac OS X version of C&C Generals on it — ran fine.

I've never had a Twitter account — but I've been browsing it from time to time, am I safe?

Такая же фигня! Где же теперь взять этот самый мозг? Так хочется выспаться! 😌

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has released five albums while I wasn't looking 😲

> It's the hysterical meltdown.
And I don't think I have to tell you this: people nowadays are just emotionally unstable in general — it's not limited to lesbians, single mothers, women… It's everywhere!
You mostly interact with young women — that's the group in which you encounter it the most, that's why for you it's the most graphic.
But damn… Even here on Fedi we see conservative US-ian men who see existential threat in things that seemingly do not affect their lives in any way at all🤭

@newt
This indeed could've been a mistake — I mean it might not be obvious and it doesn't look that bad on paper, but I see the result of decades of this — children being raised by single mothers, in Russia quite clearly — it ain't pretty.
