Trillian 5 for Windows Public Beta!


Recommended Posts

The only advice I can give you there is try a different browser, and if that doesn't work email CS about your problem. Obviously the site recognizes your user name, so I don't know why it would decide that an upgrade costs the same as a full license (it said $10 for me when I got to that screen).

No. I obviously don't know the difference between 10 and 25.

No, it certainly seems you don't, otherwise you would have complained the moment you got charged an extra $15. Now I can understand why you were being so heated about the Pro beta features only being available to Pro customers.

Wait, no I don't, because the above picture proves you already HAVE a Pro 5.0 license. You really did something wrong, or got caught when their servers were a bit messed up, because I don't know how you did that. My upgrades have always cost just $10, and I've been using Trillian since 2.0, and I pre-ordered 4.0 and still paid only $10.

I've tried Opera and the same thing comes up for that, except the page looks like a complete mess. I'll send them an email and see what they say.

That'd be a good idea. I've had good customer experience with them, and I remember seeing on the CS forums a screenshot of someone who bought 5.0 as a pre-order as well, and I'm quite sure it was just $10.

I only had to pay $5 to upgrade from 3 to Astra :p

I only mentioned that possibility because I use Firefox, and in your screenshot you were using IE. I didn't really think it'd matter, but you never know.

@_@ What the eff. Was that during that epic sale where new users could buy Astra 4 for just $10?

No, while Astra was in beta I paid $5 for a 3-month support period Pro license extension, and then when it went gold they let everybody who was current in their subscription keep their Pro license.

Don't have a 5.0 license here, and I never purchased one either. And I'm pretty sure CS doesn't auto charge your credit card for upgrades.

Yeh opera is my default browser and I would use it if it works =(

My apologies then. I was under the impression you had already purchased 5.0.

It is still skinned. They just made an Windows vista/7 similar Skin with aero support. On aero basic, Windows Classic or Windows XP look, Trillian looks foreign because it is not native.

Its very native, better than most apps. When I change themes trillian's colors even change. Like WHen I just changed from the default aero to clearscreen sharp, all of trillian's colors turned the proper grey (trillian button, menus, toolbars ect..)

It is designed to be native in win7/vista with aero. Using legacy stuff like basic and classic of course it doesn't look right.

This is true, but it have nothing to do with native. Trillian is skinned, not native. Maybe there are some elements who react on Windows theme changes, but not all.

The Titlebbar (and the buttons), border is drawing Trillian by self, not windows. so: It is not native.

With native I also mean, that Trillian do what all other windows in Windows do. In example: Trillian doesn't mind (all) the Visual effects in Windows. If I unset "show window contents while dragging" Trillian doesn't mind.

No, Windows is definitely drawing those or they wouldn't change when you change visual styles. I'm not going to continue this arguement though; you're not 100% satisfied with beta software. I no longer care.

So much languages (theres even LOLCAT, czech) and still no polish? No Gadu Gadu, Tlen support? Then thankies. Cant use without Astra network, because "changes to your connections will not be saved to the server"? Ew.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
