If all the mountains were of silver and gold,
What would they profit a man who lives in constant fear of death?
Hence there cannot be in the whole world anything better than our Medicine,
Which has power to heal all the diseases of the flesh.

As a german the whole tip system in the US is both redicilous and hilarious to me.
We have tipping here, too (we literally call it "drinking money"). With the difference, that it's pretty much voluntary and if you don't have much money (e.g. as a student) noone will expect you to tip.
Having tips be part of the actual wage totally defeats the point of them...

imho the important thing is to not give Reddit any money, so I'll also continue using it, but only with an adblocker

I've been using tree-style tabs since I've switched back to Firefox. It works really well and I've even disabled the tab-bar and am only using the side panel.

except, when you actually need the compression part

This basically just means the files themselves become the authentication.

I don't see a singe use-case, where you couldn't just use normal private-key encryption and just save the private key to a file somewhere else. And if you want to distribute it to multiple locations, so that you need all of them, then there are also encryption methods for that.

Hijacking this comment for recommending my two favorite rouge lites Noita and Balatro. Both have the possibility to save and quit at any time.

The main problem is, that this needs to be implemented on the fediverse level and not only on kbin. While it would help, even if it only exists on kbin, it would still be impossible with lemmy communities.

Matrix with a WhatsApp bridge is the way to go. I've had it since over a year, and it works like a charm.

Sure, the Mojang team itself tried to make it more accessible, which is a very reasonable thing to do for any game really. I know there are many games, where a wiki is mandatory, buta game should explain itself, so I understand why they did that.

However (although I haven't really followed it) the community still seems to be pretty much the same as before to me. If anything the stuff they archieved is even bigger, than back then. Stuff like Distant Horizons or the Create Mod could simply nit have existed back then.

What I'm getting at is that you don't have to play vanilla and there are more possibilities than ever before (including lots and lots of modpacks and servers, which definitely do need an external wiki)

Hey, that's what I wanted to write!

It doesn't just have the basic explanations of things and documents literally everything, but it even has huge guides on how to do stuff.

When I recently looked, there were like 10 different examples of parallel world teleporting wands. All listed with their advantages and disadvantages.

In this aspect, the internet is closer to spoken language, than any written media. Even if you use a service to archive the things you find, it's still possible, that they shut down, too.

You should probably learn how to read.

Yes, I get what you mean. I'll stop posting content and comments, but I'll keep looking at posts of interesting communities. Since I have quite a few posts made there so far, I'm also considering deleting them, but I'm not sure about that yet.

I realized I only have the patience for (relatively) short singleplayer games (I just hate grinding in general in video games).

Some of my favorites are:
NieR:Automata (around 40-60 hours of playtime. This one might seem ironic, as it does have some repetition, but it has no grinding and always something interesting new. It also has by far the best story of any game I've ever played)

The Beginners Guide (~4 hours of gameplay. It is super unique and has a cool take on psychology, which I haven't seen in any other game or movie. But you need to play it all the way to the end for it to make sense)

Noita (hard rouge like, and the only one I really enjoy. It's also very unique in its genre and you can always save and quit.)

Balatro (technically also a rouge lite, but with playing poker hands. It has short rounds and is a casual game, if you only have a few minutes ans don't know what to play)

I'm using INWX

You need to host your own server and then install the software for the bridge.

I think it was this one https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp but no guarantees

Even in Windows 10 I've thought multiple times about searching for a better explorer, but the default one was always just good enough, so I wouldn't do it. When I have to switch to Windows 11, I might have to actually do it.

This is the thing I find the most annoying about the Reddit migration. There are a lot of people who just want to create magazines, which are supposed to be the equivalent of subreddits, only for them to be empty and not used.

Magazines should really only be created by someone, who actually wants to post stuff in there.

I have both the Switch Pro Controller and Xbox one (for my PC), but I prefer the Switch Controller by far, because the buttons feel so much smoother. But on the other hand it doesn't have triggers, so for racing games it isn't that good (Not that the switch had any realistic ones, which I couldn't play on PC).

Yes. Even though this one wasn't a discord breach, it's bound to happen sooner or later. But your data is probably already being sold, even without a breach, as the founder of discord is known to (illigally iirc) sell customer data, before he even founded discord.

Their official statement was, that now the GPT versions will only improve in small steps, and no really big releases at a time. This would mean, that they only saved the trademark for later use, so that no one else gets it. But, while this was an official statement, OpenAI is still a company, so they might have made this statement just to appease their competitors.

My guess based on those statements is, that GPT-5 releases around mid of next year, but we'll see.

Not really. You need to use a domain (correct me, if I'm wrong, but I think IP adresses don't work) to connect to the homeserver.

In theory you could setup a DNS server in your nezwork, which resolves this domain with the local adress and then it might work, but I'm not sure if the homeserver would like that.

Also I want to add, that I use TeamSpeak, which works perfectly globally and locally, but it's for voice chat.

"Back when I started playing there was no community"
I'm sorry but that's just... false. Maybe you weren't aware of it, but even in the Beta there were already mods. I myself started playing in 1.0 and played until around 1.7 and basically all the playtime I have was playing on servers or modding the shit out of this game. (Back then you actually needed to do that manually, as mod launchers weren't a thing)

So I'm still a bit confused as to why you are frustrated, since noone is forcing you to play the new vanilla versions.

Looks, like I might be wrong. I thought I remembered it from this article
https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord#business-model
but, while it says, that your data will probably be sold, it seems like the second part I remembered came from somewhere else, so might not be reputable. Maybe I'll later do some more research, but it took me a while already to find this blogpost again, since it's been a while, since I've read it.
