Grass, in Cap of the century

I’d just play mineclone 2 or one of the not Minecraft cube voxel games at that point

qyron,

Allow to tout the horn for Minetest!

possiblylinux127,

Minetest is lit

qyron,

It is and I’m feeling the need to get back to it.

possiblylinux127,

Honestly if your going to go the Minetest route you can customize it and make it your own.

Grass, (edited )

I wanted the old mo creatures mod with the joust ostritches. If only I could get some time of work not spent cooking or cleaning or getting hounded by friends to join whatever game they are into at the time. I should bring my laptop to work and do it on break I guess.

Is this just about lying on data forms?

I’d rather we use some other term for it instead of disinformation. Even if the official definition works, it’s unnecessary confusion

In the industry we’d call it “tokenization” for the same end if the identifiers were unique

    Is there a way to play minecraft without supporting microsoft? AFAIK the cracked clients can’t play on servers that doesn’t specifically allow it.

    ExLisper,

    AFAIK Minecraft is not like water, you can live without it.

    I mean I tried giving up a Microsoft account for an Ely.by one. Finding servers was somewhat more inconvenient but was fine.

    MagneticFusion,

    this is exactly why. people are acting like i actually enjoy giving money to Microsoft.

    If the outlook account is only tied to the minecraft account and Microsoft doesn’t know who made the outlook account, isn’t that pretty safely private? Ofc microsoft can read the emails, but they won’t contain any personal info of OP.

    oh yeah, i guess purchasing Minecraft anonymously is a big issue.

    velox_vulnus, in Cap of the century

    Just torrent it lol. Or try playing Veloren.

    You can’t really torrent it, the game version gets downloaded when you start it, so you’d either have to torrent every version you want to download or download everything at once, which would take way too much space. The thing is, you don’t even need to. You can make an account without buying the game and you can still play it. There’s dedicated launchers for playing the game with an account that doesn’t own it.

    Also, Veloren is not similar to Minecraft at all, even if it’s still a very good game. There’s Minetest tho, which is also open source and it has a gamemode as a mod, which tries to be a copy of Minecraft.

    murvillian,

    Mintest + mineclonia really scratches the Minecraft itch, but I’ve not played a ton of Minecraft since the acquisition.

    NOPper,

    My buddies and I have been enjoying VintageStory for a while now.

    CrypticCoffee,

    Or MineClone2 on Minetest if you like the digging aspect.

    asexualchangeling,

    I so so badly want Minetest to get popular and take over

    “PornHub pulls out” 🙊

    ProfessorYakkington, in OneNote Alternatives

    I’ve used StandardNotes for years. They are great, very privacy friendly and lots of good features. I’ve also used Obsidian like others have mentioned but I didn’t use 95% of the features on either standard notes or Obsidian – now days I just use a general markdown files and store them in a git repo – low complexity and I like the simplicity of it. 100% recommend.

    FlihpFlorp,

    I’ll give it standard notes shot. Does it have the ability to hand write notes. It also has its own cloud saves and a manual local save if I’m reading that right so that sounds perfect for proton drive since someone else said obsidian has a weird autosave

    extant, in OneNote Alternatives

    I switched to Joplin and it’s been okay, lots of plugins but I’ve stuck to just vanilla thus far. The built in syncing plus encryption built-in makes for easy setup so I didn’t need to setup rclone.

    What about sexual and emotional education in schools?

    captainlezbian,

    Oh they’ve wanted that gone forever.

    folkrav, (edited )

    The people who really think of age verification as effective measures tend to also be against having those in schools in the first place.

    That would involve cutting 0.001% of the road budgets… Nope!!

    Desyn0xox, in OneNote Alternatives

    Of the top of my head, maybe either

    • Logseq (should be rather like Obsidian but open source)
    • Xournal++, I do not know if it has the organising features or cross note search
    FlihpFlorp,

    I was gonna check out obsidian since that seems to be popular and open source isn’t a necessity for me but thanks for the option

    And for xournal yeah the cross note is something I would definitely rather have but thank :)

    Loucypher,

    I tried both Obsidian and Logseq and… Obsidian is just a pleasure

    rockSlayer, in I'm looking for email providers that don't require a phone number to use with reddit

    Reddit didn’t used to force email, try just clicking next. Otherwise you could use one of the dozens of “10 minute email” services.

    “develop a technological standard that might turn a user’s electronic device into the proof of age necessary to access restricted online content.”

    Can we not? Can parents just take care of their kids like they have for thousands of years instead of futility trying to babyproof the internet for a minority of people? Jesus.

    Jknaraa, (edited )

    Can parents just take care of their kids like they have for thousands of years

    Okay, so lets be certain that kids do not have a direct connection with every intelligence agency, mafia and terrorist organization in the world right in their pocket, just as they did not for thousands of years. Now, to be clear I really don’t like the approach they’ve chosen here (I think we need to go much deeper into the fundamental design of the Internet), but I would hope it’s not a controversial statement to assert that our society has taken a very sharp turn for the worse ever since the Internet became ubiquitous in children’s development, and I think that really ought to prompt discussion about how it’s being used.

    fruitycoder,

    Controversially, I think the Internet has made society better. We’re still in the growing years of the age of information, so plenty of challenges to overcome for sure, but it largely has made for a more informed society and really empowered the average person despite the resurgence of authoritarianism.

    CazRaX,

    In other words parents need to be parents and take care of their kids, glad you agree with the OP.

    Jknaraa,

    Not sure why you’re taking a tone which suggests you think I don’t agree with you.

    Outtatime,
    @Outtatime@sh.itjust.works avatar

    So there are laws that people agree with that say people under 18 cannot buy/see porn at the store. What makes this any different

    thisisnotgoingwell,

    Basically PH and other xxx sites need you to verify your identity by uploading your ID. It’s what should be unconstitutional and a violation of privacy.

    Gooey0210,

    Probably the bigger issue is the centralization of the internet

    If we would have some more decentralized way of consuming content, then it would be harder to censor or control it

    The internet nowadays is essentially just google, facebook, and pornhub

    So applying a rule you can just target one company which will comply anyway because this is communism

    Outtatime, (edited )
    @Outtatime@sh.itjust.works avatar

    I believe the responsibility should be on the parents to keep their children from viewing porn before they’re 18. Not the government. I also believe there should be at least some control over what minors have access to. Will it ever be 100%? Nope. All we can do is the best we can do

    Gooey0210,

    And this one too of course

    What i was just trying to say was about governments trying to put restrictions in the name of kids, anti-terrorism, etc

    The same way they can’t “protect” people from torrenting sites, here they are trying to protect kids from nsfw

    Of course parents need to educate their kids themselves, tell them what good and bad, and be in contact with their kids

    Or at least parents can set up parent mode on kids devices, or home network dns filtering

    Sacrificing privacy of millions in the name of minority which will find their way anyway is ridiculous

    Dempf,

    That was the opinion of the Supreme Court nearly 20 years ago in Ashcroft vs. ACLU, but here we are.

    PropaGandalf,

    Yeah fuck the state. Only overprotective, power hungry loosers work there anyways.

    ImplyingImplications,

    It’s like mandating all cars need to have an ignition interlock because some people drive drunk.

    taladar,

    The difference is that the people involved there are adults and there is no equivalent to the parent responsible for their behaviour so a technical solution makes more sense there.

    pugsnroses77,

    or a real example that most newer cars have a “check rear seat for occupant” alert because some people forget their babies in the backseat and they die…

    ElBarto,
    @ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This is a world for children, a world that adults have to keep alive.

    captainlezbian,

    This is a world for everyone in it. We shouldn’t actively make it hostile to children, but we also shouldn’t be prioritizing forcing every aspect of it to fit their needs.

    Our need to keep it alive isn’t just for children, it’s for everyone, which is also completely unrelated to censorship of sexual content

    Serinus,

    Especially since parenting is the only thing that’s going to actually work. Do you think kids won’t figure out a VPN? If they heard enough to type “pornhub”, they’ll hear about the one extra step.

    And there are worse things on the Internet than porn. Some likely on Roblox.

    You’re just going to have to parent your kid with or without this nanny state blocking scheme.

    Gooey0210, (edited ) in Requested Review: AppCrypt by Cisdem

    Why not just using app pinning?

    Also, there are some other apps, or even launchers that can do this

    starlord,

    For desktop?

    Gooey0210,

    Ah, sorry, i misunderstood, i thought you’re looking for something on android, plus optionally desktop, sorry, sorry, sorry 🙏
