But doesn’t Creative get rid of the need to actually collect the materials you need? It was so fun back in the days to dig out huge holes in the ground just to build a castle, and also die a bunch of times because you were a bit careless and dug straight down only to discover a large mine right below you :D I don’t miss the buggy trains though. If I remember correctly, it took quite a long while for them to actually work properly in multiplayer.

But oh how time files - I just bought the damn game back in 2010 😂 IIRC it was right around the time Notch bumped the version up from Infdev to Alpha and I think there wasn’t even proper multiplayer implemented yet then, or it was so much in it’s beginnings that it had pretty much no features, like not even spawning mobs or having damage or anything. Later during my university studies we were actually using Minecraft to get our heads wrapped around electronics and latches in our study group and as a part of our course work first built our digital clock in MC with redstone before actually making the assignment on paper 😄

Even if Minecraft isn’t exactly the same game anymore as it used to be, it’s still nice to see it exist and be available after all these years. The core mechanics are still great and one can still play the older versions if they so wish.

I’m curious, what exactly gives a sense of OP being an Israel supporter? I read the post as good pondering about the reasoning for Israel’s reactions and some good analogy for US readers through the 9/11 attacks and reactions for it.

It’s pretty much required that a nation will either defend themselves or even counterattack heavily if someone attacks them or otherwise they won’t stay independent very long (see Ukraine currently or Europe in 1930-1940s) and understanding that doesn’t make someone automatically a supporter of either side. Now, it’s a good thing to discuss about the size of Israel’s reaction because completely destroying another country over a terrorist attack is not going to end up well either. This is something where the 9/11 comparison works well in my mind.

Riippuu varmaan hieman mitä ajanhetkeä käsittelee mutta kyllähän Nokia kämmäsi siinäkin vaiheessa, kun lopulta taipui tekemään kosketusnäyttökapuloita. 5800 Xpressmusic taisi olla ensimmäinen kosketusnäyttöluuri ja voi ristus sentään miten onneton pökäle se oli. Kapula ylikuumeni ihan tavallista puhelua puhuessa ja tosiaan Nokian käyttämät kosketusnäytöt olivat aivan jäätävää ripulia siinä missä kilpailijat valitsivat parempia näyttöjä laitteisiinsa. Tuolloinhan tosiaan väiteltiin resistiivisen ja kapasitiivisen näytön eduista, ja suomalaiset ulisivat jostain puhelimen tökkimisestä pakkasessa hanskat kädessä, kun kapasitiivinen ruutu oli oikeastaan aivan kaikessa muussa huomattavan paljon parempi.

Tavallaan se ketteryys olisi ollut ihan riittävää mutta sisäisesti priorisoitiin vääriä asioita. Meegolla olisi voinut olla vielä mahdollisuudet kilpailla mutta se olisi vaatinut koko firman kattavaa linjausta ja panostusta eikä pientä R&D-puuhastelua jossain yksittäisen toimiston nurkassa ropellihattujen puhelinmalleilla. Eikä se N900:kaan mikään erityisen häävi kapula ollut vertaillessa vaikka saman aikakauden Androidiin. Kaveri osti N900:n samaan aikaan kun itse hankin HTC Desire Z:n, ja kyllähän tuo HTC pyyhki N900:lla lattiaa käytännössä kaikessa muussa kuin deb-pakettien asentelussa. Ei ehkä ihan prioriteetit olleet kohdillaan enää siinä vaiheessa.

Many people also seem to forget that not everyone has a dedicated room or otherwise extra space to work in. Sure, if you live alone it doesn’t matter but with other people living in the same apartment/house and perhaps them also working remotely, you suddenly need extra space just for good working conditions. Working space has a cost, be it in an office building or at employees’ homes. Also good ergonomics means one needs a good desk and a great office chair which are not cheap to buy. Sure, I wouldn’t necessarily demand more pay just for WFH, but I would never ever ever take a lower compensation in exchange either.

That said, I love working remotely from home and wouldn’t go back to office. It’s just that even if you save time and money in commutes, there are other costs in place that wouldn’t otherwise necessarily exist.

It’s the same here in Finland. Only one provider (DNA) offers IPv6 for residential customers and others are “working on it” still.

No wonder! I’ve lately noticed that some non-AAA games run way better on Linux than Windows on my computer (5950X, RTX3090). For some reason Barotrauma seems to lag heavily while playing on Windows but runs buttersmooth on Linux. Valheim has similar effect as well.

Also I have already decided that Win10 is going to be the last Windows version on my machine ever. Gaming on Linux has gotten so damn good over the last few years that I see no reason upgrading my Windows installation anymore.

I had to go and check. 11+ years it seems - oh how the time flies. I was pretty much a lurker so I didn’t bother with cleaning up my history. I also never used Digg - I guess I’ve grown up during the period that Digg was sinking and Reddit gained it’s popularity.

Yet it’s weird how easily I could replace Reddit with Lemmy after such time. Sure, there isn’t an Apollo replacement on iOS but to be honest, I don’t currently even want one. Most of the communities have started migrating here as well so I’m not missing anything relevant after all.

Is the PS5 controller limitation for playing single player games? With multiplayer games the PS4 controllers work just fine IIRC.

Proton’s free tier is a step to right direction, and at least they don’t run a huge advertisement company that could benefit from the free tier users’ data. And if you pay for Proton Unlimited, you also get access to SimpleLogin’s Premium tier which is nice. I just found this out when I finally bit the bullet and changed away from Gmail over to Proton. Now I don’t have to expose my real email address to some random never-to-be-seen-again websites or campaigns if I don’t want to.

If one has enough motivation, time and interest in purchasing their own domain, you can get one step forward with changing away from Gmail. Then you can pay something like 5€/month for Proton Mail Plus, use your own domain as your email address and if one day you find a better email provider, you could just change the MX records for that service and wouldn’t have to go through all your accounts and update the new address to all the places.

I had pondered moving away from Gmail years and years ever since I found out Google doesn’t have any real customer support and HN had stories where people had suddenly been locked out of their Google accounts because of some silly reason and couldn’t get their accounts back without some inside connections. At one point most of my digital life was at the mercy of Google and losing access to my Gmail or Google Calendar or G Drive would have been a disaster. Reading all these web-DRM news reminded me that I should continue de-googlefying my life and finally made the change. Firefox has been my primary browser for years and I moved over to iPhone with my phone.

If you aren’t native English speaker and therefore use a different keyboard layout than US, pretty much all features disappear on iOS. The keyboard is garbage compared to Android’s native keyboard and for some reason even after 3 years of iPhone ownership I still write more typos on the iPhone than I ever did on Android phones.

I wish I could use some 3rd party keyboard, but because Jobs decided in the past that Apple’s keyboard is the only thing users ever really need, I can’t. There is a limited support for custom keyboards but in practice the user experience is garbage.

The problem is that in order to understand how the system works you have to use it first. Now if you are one of the people running away from Reddit, it’s natural to try to find the most popular server that provides most content to scroll through because that’s how it it used to work.

It also doesn’t help that join-lemmy.org highlights active users per month as a metric even though in the end it shouldn’t matter at all.
