vrchat-general-2

[versed chasm]

the fact I have to show other parts of it, is very suspicious and Persona is already suspicious enough with their already active legal cases.

[broken plover]

Persona only relays the date of birth to vrchat

The legal cases dont matter if none of them have been concluded with persona found guilty

I could sue every company for committing war crimes, so then they have active cases about them allegedly committing war crimes, but there arent any actual completed cases about any war crimes so it doesnt matter for the reputation

[umbral reef]

I'd love to hear the reason why persona is a bad company for I'd verification 👀
The reason you show other stuff is because it's extremely easy else to forge it

[versed chasm]

The youtube comments say it better than I ever could, TLDR it's EU politics.

[umbral reef]

Then post those here as I ain't gonna spend time trying to guess what comment you mean lmao

[versed chasm]

Ideally I would love if they instead use louis rossman's futo verification.

[versed chasm]

I'll try finding a comment for you.

[umbral reef]

Also futo isn't a 'fingerprint' tool, for your digital footprint. not a way to confirm someone's age or real identity at all.

[versed chasm]

It can be used for that. It's an alternative, it can be used to verify anything.

Here is the comment:
"Nothing screams trustworthy ID verification like a US-based company skating by on shaky legal frameworks cobbled together thanks to some political maneuvering between the EU Commission and the US. The Court of Justice of the European Union has already retroactively torched all prior frameworks, and the current framework is a re-brand of the last failed attempt.

Persona's data protection officer is also conveniently based in Ireland. The country whose data protection agency is notorious for dragging its feet on cases, interpreting the GDPR in ways that businesses love (even when the European Data Protection Board strongly disagrees), and wrapping everything in gag orders to avoid accountability. It's not like Ireland has a reputation for being the weakest link in GDPR enforcement or anything.

If that doesn't fill you with confidence about how your sensitive data will be handled, I don't know what will. No worries about US agencies being able to request your data without notice because the US company is so committed to breaking US surveillance laws for GDPR compliance."

[umbral reef]

It can't at all
Not even in your wildest dreams lmao

[versed chasm]

uh, ok. It seems like you're just here to fight, I'm not willing to do this with you.

[umbral reef]

No it's just that so many people are misinformed and just actively want to be angry about things that are not true

All futo does is collect user data for marketing, content health monitoring and big fixing. It does nothing related to identifying or confirming aspects of any user

[split eagle]

Yo what up with the tv world

[versed chasm]

Okay, I believe you. That's a shame.

[umbral reef]

Also the yt comment is fair, but at the same time there is literally no company dealing with user data that doesn't do what they do

Persona is well respected and trusted enough after the various audits from third parties that they passed. They are the industry leader for government and banking world for a reason.

I'd almost argue that depending the local government your data is more secure there with how they handle it and remove/obfuscate it then at the tech illiterate worker that just uses software of also a third party.

[livid eagle]

Ok

[crystal epoch]

I feel like this is best talked about in a ticket that can reach the staff not in a casual conversation that may get drowned out.

[versed chasm]

I don't think I'm the right person for that. For me it's likely best for it to be a casual conversation that'll get drowned out.

[worldly laurel]

hi

[karmic drum]

hi ^-^

[worldly laurel]

how are yall doing

[karmic drum]

im good tho :3 how are you?

[worldly laurel]

pretty good just listening to tghe drama in the other chat waht yall up to this morning

[karmic drum]

bout to take the pup for a walk

and yeh, the drama be crazy

people can and will find ways to NSFW >.> and the reporting does work....

[worldly laurel]

little doggy

[karmic drum]

yee she is adorible and i love her~

[worldly laurel]

i mean there is so much stuff but people dont know how much stuff there is to deal whit i mean there is million of player and avatar 100k world sure they wont do all that in one day llol but theyre doing good anyway

[worldly laurel]

yeah mine just a fat tiny baby lol

[karmic drum]

im glad they don't just ban people for people who are responsible with the nsfw, only the ones who are idiots about it

the 18+ thing will help, no idea how i feel about it yet tho

my puppy is a spaniel :3

and no matter what anyone says she will always be my puppy

[worldly laurel]

i mean they should make world for adult only would make its so easy to deal whit

[worldly laurel]

mine is a pug chiauau

[karmic drum]

thats the hard thing for them, if they did that they would be admitting that they have nsfw on here, that would be a problem for there advertising ect, while with the 18+ thing they can just go "we have adults that play our game too and they wanted a safe place to hang with other adults"

[karmic drum]

cutie 😄

[worldly laurel]

youre right its makes more sense this way

[worldly laurel]

nah he looks like a potato and a tank lol

[karmic drum]

tanks are adorible!

[worldly laurel]

ahaha so question for u i wanna start palying bt is it worth it cause whit what im seing in the other chat it make me wonder

[karmic drum]

XD, tbh, try it

you will find kids and other things, but when you find good people to hang with its great

i just hopped in without really knowing, if your looking for the crazy prank stuff you will see on youtube, its posible but really rare

what you really want to do if make some friends and just go hang out in places

[worldly laurel]

nah i just wanna chat whit people and relax lol

[karmic drum]

theres clubs, with live DJ's theres gituar hero worlds, theres arcades, all kinds of stuff

[worldly laurel]

i hate the comparison but cant deny it

[worldly laurel]

only game whit different world i could think of lol my bad

[karmic drum]

naa, its fine, just some personal beef with Roblox i have after learning more about the econimy of the game

[worldly laurel]

i mean i hate it but what up whit the economy lol

[karmic drum]

it feels very preditory, theres some other stuff i cant really remeber so wont go into them

i know there are company's that run shops/worlds in roblox too

hell even ikea was getting in on it, i have no idea what happend with that tho

[worldly laurel]

damn ikae

[karmic drum]

yeh

https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/newsroom/corporate-news/ikea-is-opening-a-new-store-on-roblox-pub8a9272d0/

[limber barn]

Heyyy… does anyone know the new link for popcorn palace I used to just put vr-m.net but they have updated it and now idk what the code is 😭😭

And if anyone does know pls tell me..

[ember tundra]

Ask their discord, this isn’t the place to ask

[sharp saddle]

[ember tundra]

[sharp saddle]

Weeee!

[limber barn]

?

Wdym

[ember tundra]

Ask in their discord server for it.

[limber barn]

I’m a dumbass. how??

[ember tundra]

How what?

You just join their server which is likely linked somewhere in the world or creator’s account, then ask

[limber barn]

There isn’t a serverrrr

[ember tundra]

There is

[limber barn]

There isnttt

[ember tundra]

There is. It’s been mentioned many times

[limber barn]

Yes and when I click on it it just sends me hereeeee

[ember tundra]

And what are you clicking and where?

[limber barn]

The link

In the world

[ember tundra]

The link where?

Did you check the uploader’s profile?

[limber barn]

No?

[ember tundra]

Then check, see if there’s other links

[limber barn]

I just have there is literally nothing there

[ember tundra]

Well they have a server, so

Don’t know why it wouldn’t be linked

[limber barn]

There is 1 link and when I click on it it sends me hereee and that’s the link in the world

[ember tundra]

Then idk, but they have a server. Should be somewhere or someone can send the link to you

[limber barn]

Can u send the link??

[ember tundra]

I don’t know where the server is, I’m in a lot in different folders

[sharp saddle]

Have you searched everywhere? It's in a very obvious spot...

And no, there is NO link to this specific server in their world... I have no idea how people keep coming to that conclusion.

[paper mesa]

Hi guys how can i change my Name in VRchat?

?

[sharp saddle]

Sorry, hit Enter too quickly.

https://vrchat.com/home/profile

[paper mesa]

He lol its fine thank you

[sharp saddle]

I'm looking at the invite link riiiiiight now in the world... you literally can't miss it unless you have severe ADD or legally blind.

[paper mesa]

I can't log in

And if i do it takes me to the mobile app

[sharp saddle]

Do you have a VRChat account? 👀

[dawn pond]

meow

[paper mesa]

Jeah

I've played it for like months

[real plover]

[sharp saddle]

Do you log in via Meta or Steam?

[real plover]

amazing

[paper mesa]

Meta

I have a quest 3

[sharp saddle]

That's not a VRChat account, that's a guest account.

[paper mesa]

Oh

Ok then imma make one

[sharp saddle]

You can make an account and merge your Meta account into it if you want (know that this is permanent).

[paper mesa]

Jeah ig thats cool

But if i do a new account do my avatars and stuff get converted?

Or like if i upgrade from guest to user

[sharp saddle]

Well, if you merge it, all of your favorited avatars get brought over.

[paper mesa]

Ok

So imma create a new one?

[sharp saddle]

👀 Create what?

[paper mesa]

A new account

[sharp saddle]

Uh... sure?

[paper mesa]

Im bamboozled... i just wanna upgrade from quest account in my Quest 3. I have a VRChat account that i made when i opened VRChat on my quest 3 so i can change my name

[sharp saddle]

You can do that.

You just need to merge your account.

[paper mesa]

Ok

[lucid rampart]

Thats a lie, i went to the world and I'm staring at the discord link right now. I even copied pasted it and it took me to the right server and NOT this one.

[clear summit]

Anyone know this glitch where avatars are like the size of the map for some reason and anyone know how to fix it

[severe dew]

Reset avatar

[clear summit]

Not mine others like when I join a world other people avatars are like massive but they are small

[dusky nacelle]

[prisma sandal]

Is anybody having problems with VR chat like logging in

[vocal shard]

What headset?

[signal breach]

Mines keep losing connection and I just got off. I got tired it acting up and plus nobody couldn't hear me while I was talking. My mic was going in and out and losing connection. Vrchat acting up

[toxic yarrow]

Hello

[round perch]

Hey

[hallow garden]

I'm awake 👀

[upper condor]

Anyone wanna play VrChat just dm me

[ornate cobalt]

[merry remnant]

Well add me if u want to smoke chill on vr tonite I'm looking for some people to chill with

20 male

[sharp saddle]

Oh, wait. Nevermind.

The Mel I know is a girl.

[dry wraith]

20 Males, that a big smoking party.

[hallow garden]

Hehe ofc I'm a girl lmao

[analog spindle]

are you ?

[hallow garden]

If you don't believe it it's true!!!!😂

[analog spindle]

are you cute ?

[hallow garden]

Uhmmm.......a little lol

[analog spindle]

i'm joking I don't care

i just want my chinese pinyin IME to work in PCVR

but it only works in PCPC (when you play without a headset on the windows computer normally)

sad times

big company shuts down modding

to never implement again the mods they took down :)

ah what a time to be alive

[sharp saddle]

Mods weren't allowed in the first place...

[analog spindle]

tsk tsk tsk

nonsense

it's like saying "you can't try"

of course people can try

at least it's not like video game cheaters in league of legends, counter strike, or other competitive games

it's way less worse (except when people did mods where you can crash other people's computers)

[broken plover]

The only way I imagine it would somehow work is opening the on-screen keyboard in windows, and then adding it as a window in steamvr and then using that to type on
or if you use ovr toolkit, it uses the windows onscreen keyboard I think, which also allows you to change the keyboard layout

[analog spindle]

ye I want to use the ingame chat box

so i can write characters ingame

wait

i use OVR Toolkit

[analog spindle]

could you summarize your big block of text into a MS Paint drawing so I could understand it ?

i don't see how what you describe is possible

[broken plover]

hold on I'll boot up steamvr to take screenshots or something

[merry remnant]

I don't know I just want some people to chill with when I get off work I don't care if you're an alien a purple tomato purple green peppers if you chill I'm chilling

[broken plover]

ok so step 1: open the keyboard with the ovr toolkit menu https://i.imgur.com/in4yub1.png
step 2: press windows and then space to switch over to the next keyboard layout https://i.imgur.com/fSQFKep.png
step 3: just use the keyboard to type (you'll have click on vrchat to make sure it's in focus)

[analog spindle]

ok i'll try that !

thanks, i hope it works for pinyin input IME

[merry remnant]

Add I'm male 20years old and I wanna chill add me to get my info on vr chat I'm chill I just need people to chill and hangout with yes I do smoke bud

[devout tangle]

[royal vine]

[upper snow]

Does anyone here know how i can change a image so I can actually use it as a pfp 😤

[rare rain]

.jpeg or .png ?

[vocal shard]

If you upload your own avatar then you can choose your own image. If you want a image that stays regardless of your avatar then you need vrc+.

[upper snow]

I do have vrc+ but can't lie the main issue I have is I wanna use a pic of me as a pfp but it says imagine is too big or something but Idk how to scale down? Is that possible to do or am I dumb?

[ember tundra]

Use online sites to resize it to the needed dimensions

[upper snow]

I see. Is there any websites in specific I can use or will any be fine?

[ember tundra]

Any is fine

[upper snow]

I see. Well thank you very much

[spring vine]

[raven mulch]

Does anyone know how I'd be able to fix my finger gestures on a pico headset? I still haven't since the update rolled out and vrchat never did anything about it

[austere grail]

Hiya

[normal bear]

does anyone else have issues with the worlds list not refreshing when clicking a different world? like when selecting the instances in the right wing panel it just shows the previously selected worlds locations? If so any known fix?

[ornate cobalt]

For months

[faint geyser]

This issue has been around for as long as I know from the day they updated the Main Menu UI. Clicking on another world, then going back to the world you were at might help

[fallow mauve]

does anyone know where I can search for worlds ??

[ruby needle]

directly in the worlds tab

[fallow mauve]

oh I meant here

[ornate cobalt]

eh

[fallow mauve]

lol ive been playing VRC for a billion years ik that part

[ruby needle]

there's no specific place fort hat here... since you can search in the game

[fallow mauve]

well I meant specifics

like trying to find worlds with like .. time of day stuff

like when it changes from day to night , that sort of thing - I'm trying to find ones with day to night stuff

a lot of worlds that have that don't seem to put it in the description ... so that's why i wanted to ask here lol

[dawn vector]

how does one chat in this game? lol i see no chat window and Enter won't bring anythin' up

[ornate cobalt]

R ->tools->chatbox

[dawn vector]

thank you!

[cunning dagger]

can also just press 'Y' on your keyboard

Idk if it's just me but, my avatars textures keep reducing while I'm playing vrc, does anyone have any idea what's happening? :^

[static forge]

Mipmap streaming got added in tonight's update - this is expected when your VRAM is over budget. Good for performance.
They did say they will probably add a toggle later on, but still give this a vote if it's something you might find useful. Better clarity at the sake of performance, especially for photos.

#announcements message

[low yacht]

So I'm wanting to upgrade to am5, kinda wondering how much performance loss I'd see going from a 5600x3d to a 7500f on the temporary while I wait for the cpu insanity to die down?

[ruby needle]

vrchat in particular definitely benefits heavily from the extra cache

you likely wanna just wait untill you can afford a 7800X3D as the jump

[low yacht]

yeah, O

[ruby needle]

it'd also not waste you the money for the temporary chip that way

so definitely suggest waiting

[low yacht]

eh its not a waste, I'd buy the 7500f from aliexpress for like $125 and its likely to be worth that for some time to come. it would be easy to move on /r/hardwareswap

some of it also depends on where I'm losing my fps. if it's 15 vs 25fps that's a big deal. 60 vs 120 is not such a problem.

I just expect it's likely to be a while before things to return to sanity, and they might not actually do that on account of tariffs

[ruby needle]

any reason you feeel the need you need to jump this very moment?

even if your current platform is totally fine and likely better than your temporary?

If you're worried about the tarrif stuff, wouldn't that just mean you likely sit even longer on the worse system?

[low yacht]

I mean not right away. but rn I'm trying to run tastt and eventually eye and face tracking all on my poor little cpu all at the same time. and there's no room for an extra gpu because my slots are too close together, so I need to upgrade my motherboard anyway. I figure I might as well go to am5.

[ruby needle]

an updgrade to a 7800X3D (or even 9800x3D) would for sure be a nice upgrade

but anything else would likely be a notable downgrade

specifically for VRChat

[low yacht]

yeah but even 7800x3ds are going for over msrp right now 😕 it's silly.

[ruby needle]

Still the thing you really should wait for, rather than dumping money into a downgrade with a temporary item you'll make an additionally loss on while also having to deal with a worse performance until you can make the upgrade.

so my suggestion is, stay or bite the bullet on the higher price but definitive upgrade

but i'd definitely not do the temporary thing with the 7500f

[low yacht]

yeah I suppose that makes sense.

[woven chasm]

why must the face mirror be flattened? :< it makes me look so nasty

It’s nice and calm here. I like it

sometimes my router doesn't play well with vrc but i'm glad it isn't an issue on my end

[gloomy venture]

[past schooner]

could range from a power outage to a worker violently doing naughty things to a server

[brave helm]

idk why either, ohhhhh japan just woke up didnt they???? the gifting might have crashed the servers

[shy ocean]

kinda weird, cause the update's been live for a few hours before things suddenly broke. must be some knock on effect

[past schooner]

makes sense

[vocal shard]

Holllaaa

I feel as if vrchat hates us..

i wanted to test my world today

[hearty rock]

I literally just was about to comment about the servers before y'all started timing, also glad it's not a me thing

[vocal shard]

[white latch]

sniped 😔 wanted to see if it were true

[past schooner]

tragic

[bright roost]

[tame forge]

sorry

[vocal shard]

Just wanted to play with my gangsters

[analog stag]

no

[past schooner]

I was being held in a vr gane because irl goofer is sick

[white latch]

The status page finally updated

[amber thistle]

hi:)

[past schooner]

oh so everything is fuxked

[vocal shard]

well it is time for us to touch grass

[indigo lotus]

I love how general 1 is on fire

[true cave]

this stinks

[white latch]

API Performance Issues
Investigating - It appears that an issue with an upstream provider is causing instability issues. We're investigating. During this time, you may not be able to access VRChat via the client or the website.

[bright roost]

Yea I hope it doesn't spread here

[past schooner]

everything plummeted lmao

[vital citrus]

indeed, its funny

[finite hill]

i got muted in gen 1 for saying imma cry

bruh

[shy ocean]

I would joke that it might be bit for the servers to get fixed cause all the it guys are gonna be at mff, but it's probably at least partially true, lmao

[bright roost]

Cause then the mods will limit this gen chat too

[white latch]

probably just got caught in the crossfire

[wind bridge]

45 min limit...

[white latch]

server teams need at least one non-furry as the safeguard

[wind bridge]

for me

[indigo lotus]

Let’s all be good guys general 2 is where all the good kids here

[past schooner]

mid upload I'm actually going to start shriveling up into a ball of matter

[amber thistle]

fr

[white latch]

same

[past schooner]

I worked hours on an avatar

[bright roost]

Yea if you wanna talk about the outage go to gen 1

[past schooner]

genuinely just Frick man

[true cave]

I have to check on my avatar, i was updating it and everything.

[amber thistle]

I was sad and just wanted to eat ice cream and be with my bf 😭

[wind bridge]

I feel bad for the people who are trying to upload avatars and it broke

[tame forge]

i reloaded the discord and still got hit w/ a 45 min slowdown

[wind bridge]

same

[kindred spindle]

Theres still a cooldown for 45 minutes in gen 1

Watching unemployed adults lose their mind over a game that hasn’t even been down for a hour is so funny

[shy ocean]

it's just a temporary setback. you'll have that vi uploaded soon enough

[tacit fog]

Jeeeeez the gen 1 is going insane 😭

[kindred spindle]

Idk about yall

[past schooner]

was mid cuddle watching impractical jokers then I had that weird pcvr crash freeze thing then boom no more servers. I was the first person to comment on it lmao

[true cave]

Yea, it’s just frustrating when you try to upload and update avatars.

[vocal shard]

should we go and touch some grass

[tame forge]

a mod said it was a typo

and to reload

[tacit fog]

Bro my Unity crashed, all I seen was gateway

[kindred spindle]

Yea no thats reasonable bc thats hard work ur putting into stuff

[wind bridge]

hey im losing my mind and im alomst one

[past schooner]

ah damnit don't flood into here now

[kindred spindle]

Damn bruh

[tired wyvern]

oh my god! hey !

[kindred spindle]

Gen one going absolutely marbles rn😭🙏

[true cave]

Like i know im not going to lose hard work, just because Vrchat doesn’t know how to fix/update their game.

[west yoke]

Sorry about that! The bot we use to change the slowmode defaults to minutes if you don't specify seconds. So it set 45 minutes until it was quickly corrected to 45 seconds.

[past schooner]

yuuuhhh

[kindred spindle]

its still 30 minutes for me

[tacit fog]

Yeah vrchat always breaks everytime they do updates

[light sundial]

Pass few days I try to join public worlds but when I do I crash and sent home world but when I'm PC it doesn't what's up with that?

[kindred spindle]

unfortunately

[bright roost]

It makes me giggle when people get so mad in gen 1

[kindred spindle]

Bc pc is stronger then quest

[wind bridge]

I just want to watch a movie okay My school starts at 8:00am and ends at 6:00 p.m.

[amber thistle]

It’s a part of game development unfortunately. VRchat is free also, and very high demanding

[tame forge]

i'm still on 45 mins tho-

[midnight bison]

At this point, ParaSpace should make it into a VR game just like this. ParaSpace is just so much better but it’s only available on iPhones smh. Sucks

[kindred spindle]

I feel like thats obvious that the quest is trashy

[tacit fog]

While I was working on a avatar to is BAD MAN work 😭

[west yoke]

Unfortunately with how slowmode works, if the timer was 45 minutes when you typed it'll remain as that until it expires for you.

[brave helm]

ur finr lol

[bright roost]

ew-

[ornate shadow]

VRC is currently down because of API errors, hopefully it should be fixed soon ^w^

[kindred spindle]

Perfect

[true cave]

Exactly, i was updating my personal avatar and everything just broke. I was so frustrated

[shy ocean]

which is weird, cause the betas generally work fine.

[pearl portal]

This is fine

[kindred spindle]

I dont blame you,i used to be a avi creator to

[light sundial]

Yea but is there a why to fix my quest one I just just simple world with just 10 people

[kindred spindle]

Got frustrated when vrc would crash while I was uploading smth

[kindred spindle]

Cus theres not alot of cache and memory being used up

[hallow acorn]

They done gave me a 45 minute timeout in gen 1

[kindred spindle]

U dont have to download like 47294882 mb of a world and 37274682 mb of avatars

[white latch]

Stuff is coming back online yippie!

[shy ocean]

though in this case it looks like it's mostly out of vrc's hands if it's an issue w/ their upstream provider

[tacit fog]

yeah I was editing an avatar then my Unity just like died, then I tried again and tried to put my info and it was saying gateway error.

[kindred spindle]

Say slash srs

[white latch]

/srs, I'm in rn

[wind bridge]

UM my menu is bugged...

[kindred spindle]

Ill checo

[white latch]

was also able to upload my avatar

stuff seems a bit slow still, but its slowly coming back on

[hallow acorn]

Avatar creators when they have to optimise their 400k tris, 8k textures avatar

[kindred spindle]

Oh hell yea its back up

[true cave]

I even tried going to the website, I thought it was my internet. lol

[kindred spindle]

Im back on chat

[vocal shard]

dude golden rule wait for one hour because it might go down again

[true cave]

is it working now?

[shy ocean]

api error rate looks back down to normal, still probably gonna wait a minute or two to be sure

[kindred spindle]

Im getting off in a hour for bed

[past schooner]

I came to this chat after i was chatting in general 1 why was i replying to you?

[true cave]

Exactly.

[kindred spindle]

For me yea

[vocal shard]

ah

[past schooner]

oh right I have no clue

[tacit fog]

no seriously tho, I thought my wifi went out or something and I asked my friend to also go on the website to see if it’s just me but theirs was tweaking out too.

[true cave]

I’m going to wait on my avatar because you never know fr.

[kindred spindle]

Yea

Give yourself a break you deserve it

[true cave]

Literally, i texted my boyfriend to go to the website. We both were so confused.

[earnest yoke]

Seems to be more calm in here🥲

[true cave]

Yea

[kindred spindle]

100%

[earnest yoke]

Do y'all know when we back up btw

[candid python]

My left leg hurts so bad

[kindred spindle]

Ots back up for me

[tacit fog]

yeah I need a break anyways, I think that was just fate telling me to relax on uploading today.

[candid python]

😭 dude I hate growing pains

[true cave]

I know right!

[shy ocean]

discord and yt had an outage at the same time like two days ago and tripped me up cause they're he sites I usually check to see if my internet is working.

[earnest yoke]

Lol felt

[thorn schooner]

Vrchat playing with my feelings Frl

[true cave]

It’s up right now, but you should wait for a while!

[past schooner]

did doscird chat also break for a little?

[earnest yoke]

Anyone wanna be friends

[tacit fog]

so let’s take this time for avatar creators or editors, to get food and drink some water.

[earnest yoke]

I'm 18 🥲

[shy ocean]

had to check a couple other websites like reddit and steam go make sure it wasn't just me

[earnest yoke]

Just add my vrc it's in my bio

Release me🗣️

[true cave]

What i’m doing right now. I sighed, got up and now making me some food! 😭

[thorn schooner]

Same thing happened to me now I’m here

[tacit fog]

I’m glad, get some food for energy hun cause you are gonna need it if you working on your avatar. At least you got something in your tummy, that’s all that matters.

[vital citrus]

im back in vrc now, anyone else try to get in yet?

[true cave]

Thank you, don’t forget to take a break too!

[hallow acorn]

They mistyped 45 minutes instead of 45 seconds and anybody who posted with the 45 minute timeout is stuck with it

[amber horizon]

Help I can't talk in general 1 bc I think someone made a mistake and set the cooldown to 45 mins before correcting it but I sent a message in that time and now I have to wait like 15 mins to talk there 😭

[tacit fog]

Of course hun, I did get some water and I already ate a few ago so I’m all set!

[amber horizon]

I was just trying to correct some people who didn't read the pinned message..

[past schooner]

🥖

[amber horizon]

Keep blaming the update even though it clearly says it's an upstream provider issue (aka not vrchat)

[sonic tide]

lmao came over here bc chat one put on slowmode for me for 45 mins and refreshing discord didnt work big L moment for em

[amber horizon]

Can't belive people go this crazy over like 30 mins of server downtime

[past schooner]

tragic

[amber horizon]

It's 45 seconds but they accidentally set it for 45 mins and anyone who typed during the mistake has to wait 45 mins

Happened to me too

[vocal shard]

well folk i am off to touch some grass

[hallow acorn]

That's some people's life fr

Personally haven't launched the game in a couple months but yaknow

[sonic tide]

the update probably isn't that buggy, but upstream might have updated something on their end today that caused issues too

[amber horizon]

I'm on rn but I'm just chillin here so it didn't really affect me

I just simply didn't change worlds or avatars

[hallow acorn]

Real

[gloomy venture]

ooof

[amber horizon]

The only thing was it made me lose the print I took :(

[sonic tide]

i forget some people don't touch grass, going crazy over vr being down....

[hallow acorn]

Somebody in gen 1 said they had like 30k hours

Wild

[sonic tide]

dear heavens

[wicked cave]

only 30k?

[gloomy venture]

Jesus

[sonic tide]

I've been around 7 years...still don't have that many.

[hallow acorn]

I regret looking at your profile

[wicked cave]

cant handle peak smh

[vocal shard]

so everyone mac and cheese or pineapple on pizza

[sonic tide]

nah, it might be the bluesky link

[sonic tide]

both

[amber horizon]

Glad I'm on quest so I can't check my hours lol

[wicked cave]

hour count is ez to grind in a game where you do nothing and leave it open

[amber horizon]

I don't think I want to know

[sonic tide]

there used to be a way to check your actual hours where you've been active, or am I simply going crazy. This was years ago though.

[amber horizon]

Both 🤤

[hallow acorn]

Apparently there's an information tab somewhere you can check

[wicked cave]

as if thatd track between quest steam oculus and android versions

[sonic tide]

yes, so it still exists somewhere then!

[sonic tide]

it might, since it's a vrchat feature itself and not a 3rd party/ect ??? im not so sure though

[indigo lotus]

That’s crazy that they are trying so hard to make you not see your hours on quest

[hallow acorn]

The more you lose track of time the more money they make

[amber horizon]

refreshing client or changing device does not refresh slow mode time 🙃

still got 17 mins left till i can talk in #vrchat-general-1

[hallow acorn]

Yeah I completely cleared my discord data and it's still gone

there is a game called star wars the old republic that all of you would love it is free to play on pc

[brave helm]

so quiet here

[young echo]

#other-games

[smoky marlin]

Please guys stop using Avatars that crash people because my boyfriend’s WiFi chip in his headset just fried. stop frying peoples stuff that they buy just to play VRChat

[ornate cobalt]

Not a thing.

[rigid roost]

But the wifi chips!

[buoyant salmon]

Wifey chip?

[rigid roost]

Those don’t fry … they judge

[vocal shard]

I survived a crasher once, it was so weird too, one moment i’m looking at a furry just chillaxing and the next it’s just, a polygon mess with loud audio puncturing my ear drums

[restive hollow]

Or maybe don’t turn everyone’s avatar on?

Problem solved 💀💀

[lucid rampart]

if you were on quest it might have been a pc crasher, or vice versa, using tools that in most cases only crash specific platforms

[hollow rock]

Remember to only enable shaders and particles on friends, kids.

[jade quarry]

I hope mines sour cream and onion

[lucid rampart]

did that, i still got crashed just for having only Avatar ticked for non-friends, went cold turkey, no one gets avatars unless i let them /lh

[coral sonnet]

I love how the things crashers can do is almost folklore at this point

"I once heard that many many years ago, the great crasher could set your headset alight if you so much as spoke to him"

[lucid rampart]

i watched everyone in an instance i was running just die suddenly as this guy walked in, he stared at me for a moment, realized i was a mod and that i didn't crash, and instantly left. didn't expect me to grab his name from my recents and ban him from my group lol

[ornate cobalt]

And audio.. don't forget audio

Had some moron join star party last night with global avatar audio

[zinc swift]

how do i know if i have access to age verification? update sais it will appear for some people

[sharp saddle]

You need to have signed up to be a tester.

[zinc swift]

ooooh okies. it explains everything.

[ornate cobalt]

Kinda.. you can't sign up as a normal user, only as a group

That’s enough general 1 for today

How is everyones day

[tame horizon]

There’s too much going on there lol

I’m okay, I just would rather be in bed

[tame horizon]

You?

[vocal shard]

I’m the opposite, i’ve been wanting to stay away from my bed as much as possible, to avoid falling asleep

[tame horizon]

Lol sleep is amazing, I guess I’ve just been super exhausted lately

[vocal shard]

A good cup of joe and some oatmeal helps get me going

Oh yeah sleep is pretty gnarly

So glad to be here while general 1 is having a meltdown

[tame horizon]

I can’t even tell what they’re talking about

I look in there and see the word diddy and leave

[vocal shard]

I stopped listening right when they started mentioning dream

[tame horizon]

😭

Who the fuck just warned me

[vocal shard]

It’s times like these that have me wanting to play terrors of nowhere but ugh my pc is being repaired at the moment

Whaaaat you got a warn?

[tame horizon]

Idfk

Just randomly I did

[vocal shard]

Dang

Oh yeah i overheard the whole male avatar convo and i can say, the only good male avatars are ones made for games

Leon from resident evil being a pretty good example

[tame horizon]

True

[vocal shard]

I don’t mind the e boy avatars all that much, the only thing i do mind is the massive payload of storage, that gets sent to my computer when one loads in

[tame horizon]

Yeah I don’t really care what people wear it’s more how much it lags me lol

I can’t tell you how much I HATE that PCSS or whatever it’s called shader

It makes things so laggy and makes every avatar it’s put on look super dull and lame

[waxen quail]

https://youtu.be/3JKYBem0hQg?si=S4ygk1tD7fO5g9o9

[vocal shard]

I’ve only seen pcss avatars for avatar world thumbnails

[tame horizon]

I see them all the time on the egirl manuka booth edits

[lucid rampart]

oh is PCSS the thing with the lightball and everything

[tame horizon]

It pisses me off when I see a super cute avatar but it’s using that shader and makes it dull

[vocal shard]

Which i mean if it’s for photography then that’s reasonable but a walking lag spike does seem like a bit too much in a game

[vocal shard]

Realtime shadows and lighting

[lucid rampart]

god i hate it because all the avatars that use it are literally paper white wearing paper white clothes so they all mold together too

[vocal shard]

Yeah that could look weird

[tame horizon]

??????

I’m gonna do it istg

[lucid rampart]

sobs

[tame horizon]

Why is the modding in here so special lmfao

I can’t use all caps???

[lucid rampart]

me getting a ping, looking over, gone, i love automod <3 /s

[vocal shard]

No not really

[tame horizon]

Dumb

[vocal shard]

Hah i’ve done my fair share of funnies with it

[lucid rampart]

just say it in all lowercase and i'll understand what u mean

[vocal shard]

Or just use exclamation points that’s what i do

[tame horizon]

Lol I just said “exactlyyyy????”

[lucid rampart]

i turn into a cute avatar i found, i become the sun myself because of PCSS, i cry as i go blind

[tame horizon]

That’s how it is every time

[vocal shard]

Living vr like it’s some goth y2k edit

[velvet zinc]

question, the age verification thing, where can you verify? or is it still only sertan ppl that can do it?

[vocal shard]

I’m unsure i haven’t been on vrchat in a good while sorry

[lucid rampart]

its only for certain people right now.

[broken plover]

It’s in kind of a closed beta if you can call it that. Only certain groups have access to it, but you can apply to have your group included for testing out age verification with the form linked in the announcement

[tame horizon]

I need to take more pictures with my bf in VRC lol
They’ll be so cute to look back on when we get to move in together. Having framed pictures on the wall of our old VRC days would be so funny 😭

[bitter bone]

That’s a great idea

@turbid star let’s pick vrc photos to frame lmao

Lmao

Hello

[pallid herald]

Looking for a friend i like sharks,hazbin hotel,Fn,music,helluva boss DM if intrested

[sharp saddle]

Why not look for people in worlds like the franchises you just described?

There's tons of people in them.

[pallid herald]

wdym?

[pallid herald]

nobody talks to me in the worlds they are just with there friends

[sharp saddle]

That's why you go up and talk to them.

[pallid herald]

they ignore me

[sharp saddle]

Same thing's gonna happen here.

[pallid herald]

fair

[pallid herald]

ty for the help

[pearl steppe]

I didnt understand, when i use this age new thing it helps to show my age?

[mellow grotto]

questie here looking for a prebuilt, can someone tell me if this is a good beginner pc for not only pcvr but just pc gaming in general

https://a.co/d/azxYD56

[sharp saddle]

I say it's a good staaaaaart...

I think you might save a bit more money (and have better customization) if you go full-custom.

You can use this as a reference if you want.

[mellow grotto]

see now, I would go full custom if only I wasn’t a 100% moron when it came to pc parts

I’d have no clue what I was doing whatsoever, I kinda have no clue right now actually

[sharp saddle]

Do you have a budget in mind?

[mellow grotto]

The most I could afford unfortunately is like 1-1.2k

[sharp saddle]

USD?

Or AED?

[mellow grotto]

USD

[sharp saddle]

You have a monitor and stuff already, I hope?

I was able to get a small ballpark of what a more beastier system would cost ya.

[mellow grotto]

Yep I do ! Thankfully

[mellow grotto]

So what do you think?

[sharp saddle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZfNK4p Came up with this.

This isn't final by any means, just a starting-off point.

Can definitely ask in r/buildapc too.

[mellow grotto]

Oh wow that’s a lot of numbers and letters 🧍‍♀️

I’m definitely gonna have to do way more research I feel like I’m reading a different language 😭

[wanton granite]

Nice I plan the build I was going with and well still am gonna be changing some thing of course though but my build I plan to do it very expensive but in the end it will be worth it but I’m waiting now bc next month or so the new 5090 graphics card and cpu will be out

[sharp saddle]

Holy run-on sentence. 👀

[wanton granite]

lol

[mellow grotto]

[wanton granite]

Plus imma be putting a lot of storage on my new build on working on

[mellow grotto]

see now if I new how to build a pc all my prayers would be solved

[sharp saddle]

If you wanna see how my build looks, lemme drop a link.

[mellow grotto]

🙏

[sharp saddle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/artemuswithau/saved/pVPvZL

[wanton granite]

Ah alright I was gonna originally go with the 4090 but now I’ll wait to get the newer 5090

[wanton granite]

Just watch a lot of videos and use pc part picker

It should tell you what parts do and don’t work together

[mellow grotto]

if I was gonna go with the original prebuilt to start how bad would that be

[sharp saddle]

Not bad, per se. But... you really won't know how quality the parts will be.

Like, you could get a super-budget GPU or a PSU that might be a fire hazard just to cut costs.

Sourcing the parts yourself is both smarter and can save you money in the long run.

[wanton granite]

The case I have can have up to 32 fans i believe

[mellow grotto]

Wouldn’t I be able to swap to more quality parts in the future?

[wanton granite]

If you have a really nice big pc case like I got which is kinda old but not it can fit just about anything the case I got can have to to 4 to six graphics cards but that’s it’s they are water cooled

But newer parts and or the bigger the case is the more things you can have but also means you could always change them out with new ones in the future

[lilac nest]

I hav 2060 🙂

[severe dew]

i mean its okay

i once had that too

then i got a 3070 and now a 4080

[faint geyser]

I just joined you, Eugene, but you were immobilized @severe dew

[severe dew]

oh

i was watching a show sorry

[faint geyser]

Ye, no worries. Imma go explore VKet worlds for a while and then come back to you if you're still around

[final chasm]

Hello

[wanton granite]

Nice well I started out with a prebuilt right and it’s fine but as of now I’m currently using a 1650 for a graphics card so why you think I wanna go for a 5090

Ik it will be expensive and all but it will be worth it

[severe dew]

Yeah go for it

It's a generational leap

[naive warren]

which quest 3 to pc cable would yall recomend and which lenght?

[sharp saddle]

I would recommend going fully wireless if your internet is strong enough.

But if that's not possible... depends on how far from your PC you wanna be.

[vocal shard]

is anyone else’s vr controllers failing to connect in steam?

[sharp saddle]

Nyupe, my controllers pair fine.

[sage garnet]

That happened to me twice yesterday,, I just had to reset my steam

[vocal shard]

i did that too

idk and on my quest when i’m about to turn it off it’s making me use my head as a pointer

[tardy fulcrum]

Hello, anyone active? :3c

Is it just me or is the latest version of VRChat just not working on Quest 2 Standalone?

[verbal coral]

What did the new update even do sides making my game lag a bit more and now letting me print photos with the camera

Cus I like the print photos thing, it’s funny but the extra lag isn’t so funny

[tardy fulcrum]

That’s a cool feature, I haven’t experienced it yet though because of that problem x3

[tardy fulcrum]

Yee, makes sense

[verbal coral]

Also vrchat really like saying I ran out of memory when I load a world

I loaded into my home world and it kicked me into a loading screen to the exact same home world

[tardy fulcrum]

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and also clearing the app data, it will in most cases, crash back to the Home Screen but sometimes it will hang on the three dot loading screen

[tardy fulcrum]

Same, at one point a bit ago it said I ran out of memory so it took me to my home world, but it also ran out of memory while trying to load my home world X3

[verbal coral]

yea

Idk why it do that, stupid vrchat

[tardy fulcrum]

I just wanted to hop online with my bf yesterday, we had to resort to RecRoom qwq

[verbal coral]

I managed to play yesterday just had to restart my headset a few times which usually stopped the weird lag

[tardy fulcrum]

Hmm, Idk what else to do; I definitely don’t want to reset the headset completely though

[wanton granite]

Idk why everyone is going for the quest I mean yeah kg it’s cheaper than a pc but if you buy or build your own pc than later on you can buy a pc vr headset and the other great things like base stations and all the good stuff

[spark nest]

small question, do you need to re-join/change instance after receiving vrchat plus in order to drop prints?

[steady zinc]

Anybody having issues with getting on VRChat Cause it keeps kicking me out for no reason.I don't know why

[vocal shard]

Because quest 3 right now is one of the better PC VR headsets as well. Even the next valve headset will be stand alone, and use streaming through steam link. Same as quest

[wanton granite]

Alright

[unborn ibex]

I'm getting on tonight 🙂

[rustic slate]

might be related to the recent avatar crashes if you still havent found the fix, you can reset your avi on the website to check if need be

Hay I had a friend banned for client use and he went to windows 10 to 11 and used vrc FT

To get better face tracking and no client was used as he made a lot of reports and nothing happened

[ruby needle]

You won't be able to get any help for your friend on this discord, nor third party assist on the website.

[vocal shard]

Oh

[ruby needle]

Thought, despite what they say they likely either where ripping in some for or did other bad stuff

[vocal shard]

It was when the up dated tho

Wich is thing that’s been happening tho

It’s a eac bug probably

Idk but thanks Paul your the best

As that my irl name

U mean the cheapest most reliable VR headset that doesn't break if you look at it funny, that also works with base stations has wireless capability that isn't an addon that costs as much as the headset itself, that is easy to repair by just swapping out the one issue which is stick drift that exists on all headsets that can be solved in 10 minutes, and uses a non proprietary cable so that when it breaks the company doesn't have supply issues

[lucid rampart]

one issue which is stick drift that exists on all headsets that can be solved in 10 minutes

Liar. I've had two controllers that have stick drift, I followed walkthroughs to the letter, it does not take 10 minutes unless you know for a fact what you're doing and you risk damaging the controller even more by doing things like removing the faceplate,,,

[stoic kernel]

The reason I got a quest is because I don’t have much money, I wanna play vr chat and have fun but I don’t have as much income as required to build my own pc right now. I wanna play vr asap so I went with the quest, I can still build my own pc and then connect it to the pc when I have it

And I’m not looking for a top of the line gaming experience, I just want something that will get me in vr without having to spend a small fortune

[wanton granite]

I can understand that the one thing is that all these great avatar creators and world creators sometimes put to much into their worlds to the point you got a lot of people lagging or they just can’t show anyone’s avatars without lagging like not everyone has a good computer or the newest quest headset but that’s one of the reasons why I’m building my computer

[stoic kernel]

The way I think about it is, if you put that much detail into the world or avi to the point where it slows down people’s games then you should understand that there are people out there who don’t have the equipment able to handle it, it’s not a big deal and it doesn’t make people who don’t have the top of the line equipment any less, a lot of people have a lot of different situations and it’s okay

If you want to put the money and effort into experiencing those worlds and such and have the resources to do so, fantastic. But for people like me that don’t have that sort of income, knowledge, etc. it’s just not fair to judge someone who can only do so much

[wanton granite]

Yeah

[fair tapir]

@primal spear Hi 🙂 Michigan huh?

[bold fern]

I ❤️ EAC (It just corrupted my Windows install :>)

[devout tangle]

ngl thatd probably only happen if you already had some underlying issues there

eac is kinda ass but i dont think it would do that on its own

[bold fern]

Windows was in the middle of trying to install drivers then EAC caused a bluescreen

Entirely still EAC's fault whether anyone wants to blame me for launching VRC in the middle of a driver update

[devout tangle]

the only instances i can find online of this happening are on battlebit several years ago, and it seems like it was due to a different anticheat system entirely

[devout tangle]

bluescreen doesnt necessarily mean your os is corrupted

usually it just means it shut itself off to prevent corruption

regardless dont open software in the middle of driver installation

[bold fern]

it does if it just, refused to boot until I manually put a USB drive in with Windows and did some command line bullshit to get it back up and running

Something broke internally and I needed to manually fix it, I'm sure that counts enough

[devout tangle]

you still cant blame eac for that im sorry to tell u. you fucked around while installing drivers

[bold fern]

Lmao I didn't even fuck around, Windows Update was doing what it does best and installing new shit I didn't even ask for

I didn't even manually initiate it

[devout tangle]

so it's a Windows issue then?

again i doubt eac caused it on its own

[bold fern]

No - Windows was updating like it does on a routine basis, Easy Anti-Cheat crashed the PC during said update process

[bold fern]

Have a look through #1138891887374237706 and tell me how many threads there are about EAC bluescreens

[young echo]

Literally anything that causes a crash would kill the update

[bold fern]

Well idk what happened specifically, again, all I know is that EAC crashed and then my PC refused to boot until I manually repaired it

[devout tangle]

like 3

just did a search

do you use windows 11 by any chance?

[bold fern]

I do, yes

[dreamy isle]

Idk if anyone can help but I login into vrc, and I have nothing but loading screen

[dapper swan]

and EAC dont play nice with wine

Wine is a free and open-source compatibility layer to allow application software and computer games developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)

[bold fern]

I know this is a super 2022 issue but I still don't agree with EAC in a social game, especially when it doesn't fix anything regarding ripping or crashing

Also, it's easily bypassed, I'm not disclosing the method as I'll 100% get banned if I do so, but all I can say is it's so easy a toddler could do it LMAO

[dapper swan]

like i wish they had a UNIX build of the game

Also didnt some DRM software get the microsoft stabbing with Windows Defender?

such as https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/safedisc-retail-drm-does-not-work-on-windows-10/667a6969-02a4-4595-ae79-b6776485bffb

[twilit hollow]

VRC supports Proton officially

has for the longest time

if you're still using pure Wine in 2024 for gaming, what are you even doing?

[versed chasm]

Thank you vrchat team for addressing the privacy concerns!!!

[merry herald]

yo how good is the quest 3 w/ steam link

[versed chasm]

I would still like these questions answered, but regardless I'm glad it's being taken seriously.
Taken from a youtube comment:

What information are you still keeping of ours other than a birthday and this new hash? What is the turnaround time for personal information to be deleted? 

If you're still using Persona as a 3rd party, is VRChat requesting the information be deleted for us, or would we have to contact Persona to have our info deleted? 

What kind of confirmation can we expect on behalf of VRChat or Persona to know that our information has been deleted?

Who is making the hash that will be stored, Persona? Because the way I heard it, sounds like it implied VRChat would be constructing the hash.```

[lucid rampart]

Persona has to delete User info like photos sent in for Verification from their systems very regularly to comply to EU regulations

[young echo]

I mean on one hand persona makes the hash and sends it to vrchat
on the other hand vrchat gets the specific data to create the hash then deletes the information

on the third hand it might just be data used to identify if the id was used again or might be later used to help with account confirmation

not sure

[lucid rampart]

Most likely, to keep people from sharing IDs to verify

[versed chasm]

Does this still mean Persona holds on for the ID long enough to store biometric data and use our facial scans for its AI training (and "securely stored") like they outline in their privacy policy?

from another comment

[lucid rampart]

I hope you know their AI is basically just automation for verifying users. That's it.

That way they can get through the huge amount of IDs easier, and to make sure the photos themSELVES aren't AI generated.

[storm pilot]

Does anyone wanna play a game?

[versed chasm]

Is that commenter right about them using the facial scans for AI training in their privacy policy?

[lucid rampart]

The systems they use are specifically only for automating ID verification and confirming that the photos sent in aren't AI themselves. That's it. Your photos aren't stored long term either way.

[white latch]

it is so funny to see how many people are proving how little they understand cryptography by arguing the new method VRChat chose is "less secure" lmao.

Like, please, go on, show us all how to break a cryptographic hash.

[white latch]

Like, to put it in perspective for anyone who doesn't understand how cryptographic hashes work:

• You would need to know what information they're using to create the hash, and what order they're hashing it in (this gets significantly more complicated when you consider different government IDs if it wasn't already complicated enough)
• Even if you did crack the algorithm being used, you'd need to start generating the trillions of different combinations for a SINGLE hash to be able to even figure out what it is in the first place. This would likely take years upon years for just a SINGLE hash, you are more likely to die before you ever get a chance to crack it.
• Due to the varying types of government IDs that can be used, the amount of combinations you'd have to do increases significantly.
  You would basically already need the person's information to be able to reverse the hash or spend probably thousands of years generating an infinite number of combinations just to crack a single hash. Again, you are more likely to die than you ever get a chance to crack it.

[devout tangle]

i really like the hash approach personally

it's the same thing discord uses to prevent ppl from posting illegal material theyve identified without having to store it on their servers

[bitter bone]

Maybe someone with a quantum computer will target VRC so all those doomsayers can say they’re right lmao

[white latch]

Even then a quantum computer would probably take years to do something like that lmao

I don't think people can actually fathom the amount of combinations you would need for something like this

VRChat would likely be long out of business for you to figure out a single person's hash

[lucid rampart]

someone with FIFTY quantum computers!

[white latch]

There's a reason you don't see password breaches much nowadays, and when you do it's because whoever was storing them was storing them in plaintext or outdated cryptography algorithims

(which is why you dont use the same password for everything because all it takes is one mf not using the bare minimum cybersecurity practices to ruin it for everyone)

[verbal night]

Has there been clarification if any PII is sent to VRC in order for them to generate the hash? The video did not specify and the FAQ implies that VRC processes. If so, that's still a bit worrying and potentially worse than prior implementation.

[sharp saddle]

No. The ONLY thing VRC sees is your birthdate.

Everything else is destroyed.

[verbal night]

To clarify, what info do persona send to vrc? A hash and DOB? Or PII and DOB?

[lucid rampart]

Hash and DOB.

[verbal night]

Gotcha, thanks!

[karmic rose]

Vrc gets ur dob while everyone else in the chain gets yo data

[verbal night]

When we receive verification from Persona, they send us some information gathered from your ID. This information is never saved, only processed.

VRChat securely processes this information into a hash, and saves the hash. We then destroy the source data, and tell Persona to destroy their version of the data, too. This ensures that while we can verify your identity when needed, your sensitive personal information is never saved in any systems for longer than necessary.

The FAQ may be unclear. It almost implies that hash is generated by vrc and did not specify what info Persona sends. Is there an official info on what Persona sends to VRC?

[karmic rose]

Why only care about what info persona sends vrc and not what info persona sends to all its partners and what those partners do with it

[lucid rampart]

Because they don't do that?

[karmic rose]

Someone didn't read personas tos

[verbal night]

Separate topic. You can ask/investigate that.

[lucid rampart]

Personally if you complain about Persona having any of your data, you might as well stop using everything connected to the internet imo.

Your phone usage alone has more data about you than Persona will ever have lmao. And they sell allllll your data to advertisers.

[karmic rose]

I just find it funny people care about what data vrc may or may not get from persona, but don't care at all about the rest of the chain of custody nor read the persona TOS.

Such a strange thing to care about one aspect but ignore the other.

May as well just ignore it all at that point

[lucid rampart]

i wonder if the bar down the street has any of my personal data when i give them my ID to buy stuff /j

itll never not wow me tho when people ask if the company that has to look at their ID and verify you exist and are a specific age, will have your data

[karmic rose]

Well, and all the companies they partner with, and the companies they use for verification, such as your ISP, sms and cellular providers, risk management companies, public and private record companies, fraud verification services. lol. Can't forget about all them.

[lucid rampart]

sounds pretty normal for an ID company.

[karmic rose]

Still worth not ignoring your data will be provided to all these entities, such as full name, address, etc

People act like they get nothing or have nothing

Lot of links in the chain and how long that data is retained by those companies is ambiguous at best.

[lucid rampart]

Every single one of those services already know that information...

[karmic rose]

That's not my point

And they may very well not

[white latch]

Somebody doesn't know about the DPA

[karmic rose]

What I said is directly from persona

[white latch]

It doesn't matter if you're completely ignoring the fact there's a DPA

[karmic rose]

Cool

Just sharing direct information provided by Persona in plain text

Think whatever you will. Couldn't care less lol

[white latch]

If you're concerned about Persona you should be way more concerned about Discord or Google

[karmic rose]

I never said I was

[white latch]

Then you definitely should be

[karmic rose]

Lol

[white latch]

Never read Discord's privacy policy I see

[karmic rose]

I have

As well as Peronas

[white latch]

Yeah, and they give away your data

[karmic rose]

No shit

Never said they don't.
