The assholes pushing this crap sure are lucky they outnumber us…(\sarcasm)

MineTest is an open source game engine that allows running various open source Minecraft clones.

Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol

Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.

I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.

As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.

I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.

I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.

You’re not alone in that.

I also reread your comments sometimes with a deep sense is satisfaction.

(I’m kidding. Although I did check your comment history to make sure you weren’t a monster before even making that joke.)

True. I don’t post the license prominently, but my comments are Creative Commons, Attribution, Share Alike

Okay, I’m actually kidding about misunderstanding which bit of my comment your reply was to.

Yes, it’s great that MineTest is open source! And the mod community is impressive.

My comments are pure Internet gold. I’m actually only here to read my own comments. It helps me remember how brilliant and humble I am.

My posts help people discover MineTest. It’s pretty great, and it’s free.

But they were Nazi dogs.

I had this exact conversation, and used this argument, with my own parents.

It must have worked. I was allowed to play Wolfenstein, anyway.

That’s heartbreaking. Radio Shack was so fun, while it lasted.

Netflix can’t do what got them to the top.

They can’t grow that way but they could easily hold on and remain profitable, popular and successful.

They were well on their way to enjoying “Kleenex” or “Oreo” stable market success, but their leadership and shareholders apparently aren’t satisfied with winning.

I’ll take “Organizations that made it to the top by doing something different, only to fall under leadership that doesn’t understand what made them successful and descend into ruins” for 200, Alex.

Seriously, Jeopardy team - this is a rich category:

• Netflix advertisements.
• Zoom mandates staff return to offices.
• Microsoft forgets what the “P” in “PC” stands for.
• Toys R Us implements a shitty holiday gift returns policy.
• Sears decides to sacrifice reputation for quarterly stock price gains.
• Walgreens decides bottom-of-the-barrel incompetent pharmacists can uphold their “get it all done in one visit” secret sauce.
• Radio Shack decides that once-every-two-years cellphone contract sales are the future for holding passionate electronics hobbyists’ loyalty.

Spray painting a wall is fine,

Yeah. Particularly when private bank walls are right there prominently on many corners just asking to be painted.

“extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy,” got me. It’s perfect.

Also, your username is perfect for this moment.

Oof. But yeah. Fair.

I want to go on record that sometimes I just wear sandals with socks.

My client pre-downloads videos, so I can fast forward and rewind at will.

If only I had a client with support for fast forward… Oh right. I do. Neat.

Certain ideologies are just not compatible with western culture, specifically those who condone raping women and murdering lgbtq people.

I hear this argument a decent amount, but have never heard it actually expressed - only held up as a straw man argument on immigration issues.

None of us wants shitheads around. Some of us just want to give everyone a chance to prove whether they’re a shithead or not, before deciding whether they can immigrate.

Quite a bit of care is taken with the UX which is outstanding considering it’s a volunteer project.

Yeah. I am frequently delighted by excellent usability experiences on modern Linux!

Maybe I’m biased, since it’s so much better than when I started. But I still have a Windows 10 PC for my work, and - while the usability on Windows 10 is no slouch - I honestly would have a hard time saying which is better, overall, now. (Ignoring, for the sake of discussion, really obvious anipatterns like the start menu ads in Windows.)

I’ve heard this a few times lately. It makes me curious how recent the impenetrable experience was.

I’m shocked at the idea that an average Windows user who tried this year’s version of Debian Stable would find it even mildly confusing, much less impenetrable.

I switch between Windows 10 and Debian 12 Stable, daily.

I find that, on Debian, all the expected features are in the same spots, acting the same ways.

Disclaimer: I don’t have an Nvidia graphics card to cause me headaches.

And I do understand that depending on hardware, installation can be tough. That’s true with Windows, too, of course. At least installation doesn’t have to be an issue for new purchases, since enough PCs can now ship with either pre-installed.
