  • Even if you do pirate Minecraft trying to use mods or do anything with it at this point is so beyond painful that it’s not even worth it. Microsoft has made it a mess.

    ??? This is absolutely not true at all. The modding situation is better than it has ever been, in part thanks to mojang making the game’s underlying systems more modular & extensible to facilitate modding, as well as deobfuscating the game’s code.
    The only thing you’re giving up by pirating is playing on common servers, and it has always been like this.

    Love that game! Been playing on & off occasionally with a couple friends. TR on Miller (formerly Cobalt). I mainly play Engi and duo/solo Harasser. I love that vehicle, it’s so much fun chasing damaged enemy tanks with the Vulcan. High risk high reward! Other times I mainly play LA or Infil (the TSAR-42 is fun). And medic when I want to feel more useful :p

    One friend of mine has an interesting playstyle… He takes a light assault with the ambusher and exclusively uses the knife. Calls himself Sir Boosh. Risky AF but he became really good at it somehow 😆

    I definitely think content warnings (not specifically “NSFW”) are ideal for this. Sure, the line between what should and shouldn’t be content-warned is blurry, and you don’t need to go through every highly-specific issue someone might have with your post, but things like tripophobia (or arachnophobia) are pretty widely known so it makes sense to warn about it imo. Especially for image posts since you can’t really just “not look at it” if it pops up in your feed.

    And whether or not the warning is precisely about a “phobia” isn’t relevant imo. It’s just a nice thing to do, as it avoids causing others to feel suddenly itchy and uncomfortable for several minutes.

    So no, I wouldn’t tag spider images as NSFW, but I’d definitely add a “CW: spider” if Lemmy supported it 🙂








  • As long as Rossmann has a say in the ordeal I doubt it’ll enshittify. If it they can’t carry it anymore, I think they’ll re-license it.
    But in any case, I’m really glad to see effort toward this. Because I may be naive, but I think this will make viewers & potential devs aware that it’s possible to have a great experience consuming video without being tied up in Youtube’s basement, and I predict will inspire more FOSS in the same vein.
