Honestly calling someone a “direct report” sounds even more dehumanising. At least calling someone a “subordinate” acknowledges that you’re belittling their existence. A “direct report” sounds like a piece of paper.

Yup. The only real difference is the pricing model, the program is pretty much the same.

I rememeber they tried offering online libraries of stuff for download to justify the subscription for some products.

And you can use it for any torrents, like games & software. It’s way cheaper than any streaming site and so much more worth it.

I dunno, you “park” with enough velocity and you could definitely describe the location of the boat as a distribution.

EDIT: When I wrote this comment I tried to imagine how one would do this. Perhaps against a rocky shore, or falling off a trailer on the highway? But then these guys came into my recommendation feed and said, “nah, like this”: https://youtu.be/zlFH3aC7Z_c?t=741

It’s his party and he’ll strip if he wants to.

My first thought was probably not, but then I remembered that Java runs on everything so it’s probably possible, and apparently someone’s done it lol

I haven’t watched that but it was the first result when I searched for minecraft server on android, and it’s only a year old so it probably still works. The only way to know would be to try I guess.

Any computer made in the last 10 years will probably work. It has a really low power demand, and I would recommend you use a fabric server. I’ve used a more optimised server called Paper but it comes at the cost of fidelity, meaning certain technical designs within the world will break because the server behaviour isn’t guaranteed. Fabric has complete fidelity and pretty good performance.

If you want to host it over the internet then you’re going to need more technical knowledge than I can reasonably teach you here. You’d really need to be able to research that yourself, I’m afraid. I tend not to do that as I only run a server for my family.

They’re the same. Basically you can’t connect to a server unless it allows you to, and most online servers prefer to use the central authentication server so they can enforce bans and whitelists. Apparently there are cracked servers, but honestly the best part of multiplayer is building a shared world with your friends, and it’s super easy to make a server on your home network. You just have to toggle offline mode.

It is super easy to get java working singleplayer too, because there are so many third party launchers and none of them care if you have an account or not.

I bought it in alpha when the language was that you would have every version of the game forever. I did migrate, but if I hadn’t microsoft wouldn’t give a damn. They certainly haven’t given me access to all the new versions.

Basically the server needs to allow you to connect even though you’re not authenticated with microsoft’s online account server. You would do this for instance if the entire multiplayer session was on a LAN with no internet connection. You probably won’t find servers that allow it over the open internet unless they have some other way of vetting who is connecting. So you’ll probably only be able to do it with servers you or your friends personally host.

Yup, copyright doesn’t help artists. Its main purpose is to allow the hoarding of property into the hands of the wealthy, just like basically every other property relation under capitalism.

We can see with things like patreon that people love to support artists they like even if most of their work is free. We really don’t need gatekeepers to make art happen.

That right is something they should not have. Streaming services greenlight shows, get them made, then cancel them after two seasons to prevent artists getting residuals.

Then if they lose popularity they pull them off the site and even the people who worked on them can’t see them anymore. Animators have to rely on piracy just to show people their own portfolio. That’s where respecting copyright leads.

The copyright owner is just whoever fronted the money, and the only reason we’ve decided they “own” anything is because people with money have decided money should be the most important thing in our society.

It’s even easier with account migration now. I haven’t tried it myself but apparently you can just sort of continue from where you left off.

Much as I’d love to jump on the lemmy.world hate with your comment, I find they tend to be bog standard liberals with very little political education, not Trump supporters. Also your comment history is still visible in some apps, and it doesn’t tell such a clear cut story as you’re telling here.

If you are indeed anti-Trump, it’s not clear from what you said there. In fact what you said was such a mess that I don’t hold out a lot of hope for your response to this comment. I honestly don’t blame them for giving you a time out.

The translation is, “It wasn’t us don’t get angry, but also it kind of was one of us and also we are sticking by the decision so it may as well have been us.” I don’t really see that it matters if the story is true - in the best possible case they’re just saying that they don’t have a way of setting policies and having those policies be followed.

If we’ve learned anything from centralised platforms it’s that size doesn’t protect platforms from the consequences of making bad decisions.

“Just a heads up for when we do this again: we know that it sucks, and we are doing it anyway.”

It’s early days still. When this sort of thing triggers an “exodus” users will just shift to other instances, further decentralising the service without unduly hurting the platform. If big instances want to stay relevant they need to not enshittify. If it turns out that’s impossible, then instances will have to stay small, which is fine by me. I certainly won’t miss the majority of lemmy.world users.

Nexusmods is a pretty reputable, long-lived site to my knowledge, and they have an enormous catalogue of mods all maintained by their creators on the site. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to make an account there specifically unless you have some aversion to making accounts in general.

Until machines reach end of life and break, and nintendo won’t offer any official way of playing the games that people own - because of course they won’t. We already know they don’t even allow savegame backups without a BS subscription fee.

Emulation and piracy are very important ways of keeping a historical record of digital works that otherwise would vanish. We have countless examples of abandonware being kept alive by piracy.

Also I’m considering jailbreaking my wii because the games I bought - including one just a couple of weeks ago - are becoming impossible to play because the discs just don’t last. I’ve had to clean this second hand one off many times to keep playing it. It’s piracy, sure, but without it the entire catalogue would just vanish. If nintendo had their way the only way to keep those games would be to pay them a subscription for the rest of time.
