Oh man. It’s not like I can’t understand the logic behind it, but active niche communities are the one thing lemmy really lacks as of right now, and piracy was one of the earliest and biggest exceptions to that. What a shame.
I remember wanting to try out Firefox on Android but not being able to use it with Tampermonkey which was a real bummer. Better late than never, I guess?
One question on my mind is why it took so long. Is Android a harder platform to make extensions available on or something?
Just spreading awareness about whatever the fuck Mojang thinks they’re doing. Given their enforcement of the EULA, or the lack thereof, this probably isn’t going to have as huge of an impact, but I think it’s still something worth talking about....
I feel like Minetest could do with a good starter’s guide for people who want something as close to the vanilla minecraft experience as possible. I heard about it before, spent maybe 15 or so minutes looking through the website out of curiosity, and came out with the impression that you’d need to spend time managing tens or possibly hundreds of mods for the full experience. Maybe that was an unfair assessment, but I feel like I wouldn’t be the only one inclined to think that way at a glance. Don’t mean to rag on it, maybe I’ll install it and actually give it a shot.
Not surprised, coming from Ubisoft. Didn’t they try taking down the DRM servers for some of their games, effectively making them impossible to use, until public outcry forced them to relent?
5 rich people sign a paper saying it’s cool if they die in a shitty submarine, they do, and we spent millions trying to find them.
Not that I don't agree with the sentiment, but this isn't exclusive to the rich. There have been numerous cave diving incidents where people intentionally do stupid things like ignoring warning signs or breaking past locked gates only to end up in trouble and require a huge rescue operation to get them out and/or recover their bodies.
Student loan forgiveness doesn't go far enough. We need to overhaul the higher education system to rein in the cost of tuition. I mean, regardless of where you stand on student loan forgiveness, can we at least all agree that a bachelor's degree costing anywhere near six figures is absurd?
