The MultiMC dev came out as a raging anti LGBT, right? That’s why it was forked into Prism (hence the name “Prism”)

Man… there’s been a lot of drama in the MC modding scene.

Thanks for the info.

But I meant the other way around, eg a Java client connecting to the bedrock ecosystem. Is there no way to do that?

I thought it was compatible with a translation layer?

…I suppose that’s a big technical hurdle.

I get that. It’s like saying “just install Linux to run this,” but weird thing is OP already runs Linux and understands Android emulation, so I’m assuming their technical proficiency is enough to install a JE mod. Or maybe the mod isn’t as functional as I assume.

That sounds quite reasonable to me.

Do you play on a server?

I haven’t found fun modded ‘communities’ since like 1.7.10. All Forge modded servers I’ve tried either seem to be ‘commercial’ servers with zero render distance and basically no community, or ghost towns.

Genuinely curious; why play Bedrock instead of Java Edition when Bedrock is so much trouble on linux? RTX?

EDIT: In hindsight, if this is to play with friends/family stuck on Bedrock, that makes perfect sense. Translation layers might not be as good as I thought.

Do kids even trick-or-treat anymore?

My small U.S. family sample suggests “largely not.”

Facebook, Twitter, and the general burning of the ‘old’ internet suggest otherwise.

Anyone who knew much about space knew that was nonsense from the start, as colonizing a subantarctic volcano is literally more practical than colonizing Mars.

And that’s assuming paradigm shifts in spaceflight. Turns out, they did not materialize at all. With SABRE air-breathing engines and Virgin-style stratolaunches dead, things actually went way worse than I expected years ago.

Don’t get me wrong. SpaceX is great, Starship is cool, research in space is awesome. But ever since I’ve first read Musk’s public thoughts, he struck me as ‘not scientifically grounded,’ and I wondered how that incongruity would shake out.

TL;DR: Truth never mattered, and it still doesn’t :(

I don’t agree. Tons of folks spend tons of time influencing for basically no financial gain (or the platform taking the vast majority of it). Attention is everything.

In other cases, people are just tribal, and like following someone.

That’s always been (and will always be) an issue, but the monster of this story is engagement optimizing design. Technology has made this human tendency extremly dangerous, and “engagement at any cost” needs to be a social taboo.

This is quintessential “Modern CPP”

Take a real problem screwing up the western world bad (like influencer mis/disinformation), and smash it in a way only their massive state apparatus can…

Superficially.

It’s “proof” their party line works and, as always, a good way to control the populace, if abused. It’s probably effective, but not as effective as it appears on the surface.

I’m sympathetic here.

In past years I was a “free internet” libertarian leaning diehard, but something has to be done about algos boosting shameless outrage peddlers; it’s literally destroying the planet and our collective psyche, just for short term corporate benefit (Or corpo-state benefit in China’s case, as its “Big Tech” is under the party’s thumb). But China just took the problem and used it as an excuse for more control.

It has. There have been major rewrites of parts of the codebase, like Sodium, Cubic Chunk, server frameworks, just to start.

Major performance issues, and associated code fixes, have been repeatedly reported to Mojang’s tracker.

The issue is that any major modification is inherently incompatible with other major modifications, hence most persist for one version (or a few) before the devs burns out maintaining it. There are two solutions to this:

• Get Mojang to pull in large optimizations. Thus far, they have been uninterested in this (though some controversy over Optifine may have left a bad taste).

• Pull the changes into a modding framework. Understandably, Fabric/Forge aren’t willing to pull in a huge overhaul they’d have to maintain. Mojang may have similar feelings.

Some modifications (like Sodium) minimize vanilla changes to prioritize compatibility, and are popular to the extent that some other mods implement workarounds for them specifically. But this is rare, and it’s still problematic.

Yeah it’s more of a “Lemmy meme” than a hard accusation to me.

But there may be context I’m not aware of.

But folks may be referencing Musk’s very weird family life, like all his exes living and raising children in one estate. Less sure about that, but there’s plenty of literally. All this is well reported too.

The bot isn’t really cognizant of its own replies.

…Well, it could be with a postfilter, ranging from sanity checking its own reply, to a tiny separate safety model (of which many exist), to a basic keyword check. But apparently Twitter has no resources for such things.

But the point is this isn’t really the intended design.

I’m with others. An offline ‘smart’ OLED is a dumb one, and with game mode they have lower input lag than any plasma I’ve used.

They’re just obsolete.

And yes, modern TVs have features you don’t need. Just don’t use them; they’re basically zero hinderence.

Maybe plasmas are okay if you find one at goodwill/eBay for dirt cheap, but that’s about it.

Look, I like off-roaders! Right? Desert racing trucks are the coolest thing:

And that includes solid axle/mixed variants like the rock crawling Ultra4 trucks!

https://www.speedhunters.com/2019/02/if-a-trophy-truck-rock-crawler-had-a-baby/

(Though I noticed some are going independent front more recently).

Old land rovers and land cruisers are equally cool, hence they still use them in Africa almost exclusively. But the land rovers are better because they don’t use leaf rears!

I love rally cars and Dakar the multi axel Russian trucks. I love small pickups too.

…But lifted, full sized trucks are so boring. They’re literally everywhere in this part of Texas, to the point where they advertise mass conversion shops on billboards. They’re usually macho assholes on the road, and even stock-ish ones tend to be customized and slob into parking spaces or stick out of places.

I loathe them. I couldnt care less about them. Hence, I know what older RAM 1500s look like, but I don’t really keep up with the style changes for the RAMs/Chevys/Toyotas or whatever, other than observing how ridiculously big and tall their front grills have gotten.

…Hence this one threw me off. The grill is tiny! It makes it look small, when in reality the owner/shop likely ripped it out for that front skid plate (which looks way better).

Coffee for sure.

RIP my truck taxonomy skills.
