Maybe don’t narrate videos when you have a heavy lithp.

It allows programmers to be paid to work full time instead of just for free in their spare time.

I really hate how many people haven’t really picked up or understood the profound difference that gyro aiming makes for controller players.

Everyone always whines about anything Mozilla does with Firefox. These additions are at least much less intrusive than their addition of Pocket.

Throw it in my pocket with my keys and my spare pocket sand. It’ll be destroyed.

In this world, we obey the law of thermodynamics. I’d love to know how this 3 bottles of water is “consumed”. Because more than likely, the water is simply being used for cooling, which doesn’t consume it at all, it just makes it warmer.

This is what everyone had (wrongly) claimed when Palworld initially came out. Looks like they finally decided to pull the trigger. It’s not going to be successful at all, but Nintendo is the Disney of Japan.

Those are some nice legs…

I mean, the mermaid is missing the part I like the most…

How about: Signal is better? Though, they recently were caught with some unencrypted shit on the desktop client.

The web needs ways to establish and convey trust signals which show that a user is who they say they are

Because it’s just a convenient way to track people, confirm they are not bots, so that information can be sifted and sold.

I mean, your non-vote for her is a vote for Trump, so I see who you’d really like in the whitehouse.

A: She’s lying. B: Vote for her anyways; because the alternative is worse.

There’s kind of a bell curve of users where their needs are so simple that Linux use is great for them. They’ll never do anything more complex than visit a webpage in Firefox, and that’s great.

Then as your needs get more and more complex, Linux isn’t quite a good fit – You’ll want to use a specific printer, or a specific software (looking at you solidworks!), or you’ll have some sort of organization that requires you use MS Office, etc. – There are ways around all of that stuff, but if you’re not already on the train, it can get frustrating.

Up until your needs get even more complex, where Linux starts becoming the best choice again - You want a tiling window manager, and ipv6 with firewall and ZFS on the network etc.

It’s the middle bell curve where your new user is already kind-of a power user, but not quite a technical-user yet that gets people.

I mean, it was less than 20 years ago that this used to happen to me, but it was usually a matter of going to archlinux.org, and usually right on the front page, they’d have a “You need to run this command to fix it”.

They even have one for July 1st right on the home page. So it absolutely does happen from time to time.

How many packages make up what one would consider a bog-standard install of an OS that had all the basic features available to you?

300? 400? Enough for 1 popup every single day of the year; even if done yearly.

Thankfully, other developers aren’t this rude or full of themselves. Don’t get me wrong, they need funding, and I’m a donor - but advertising anything on the OS should be considered taboo. Just because Windows users tolerate it, doesn’t mean we should.

Now imagine every Linux application with a UI does this. Does it start looking like idiocracy to you?

There are just some lines we do not cross. This is one of them.

But it got it wrong…

Minecraft has become the defacto standard to compare to because it is the most popular. Infiniminer only has voxel building, but Minecraft isn’t a clone of it because it became more popular, and took the idea MUCH further. It refined it, and made it better.

Minetest is a cheap half-assed recreation of that. If their idea is to be Minecraft – but extensible via API/LUA programming, they have a long way to go. There’s a 30 min tutorial for Godot that would put you about where Minetest sits right now in terms of quality.

Then why is the title “Why I prefer Minetest to Minecraft”?

Because that’s the exact comparison being made here. It’s built to emulate minecraft. To say it’s not is a bald-faced lie. This excuse is constantly used when people point out how terrible it replicates the thing it’s clearly trying to replicate.

You can’t just use this excuse when people point out how bad it is. You can’t even pretend it’s better, because it really just isn’t.
