What they failed to realise is teachers can have a unique ability to make kids hate a subject.

If you force them to do it, they can do it really badly without it being obvious.

I can imagine reading the Bible word for for in monotone from day 1 won't be a good experience.

In the UK, we call it a minnie for girls. Willy for boys.

I've said goodbye to the MineCraft I once knew, if we want something better, we make it, improve it and share it! :)

Multiplayer servers have between 20-40 on it most days. So usually can find people to play with. Quite a number enjoy the game. Obviously not on the level of MC. They're a lot bigger with far more resources, but it's a pretty solid game. It's always special when people give up their free time to make the world better rather than tear things down ;).

I'm not trying to convince folk at all. I'm stating a fact that many prefer it because of it being FOSS. I don't think anyone could ever persuade you of anything. Btw, Karma doesn't exist here. That and your toxic attitude are better found on reddit.

You're on Lemmy here. There is many people who actually care about privacy and telemetry doesn't sit well with them. Many have been put off by the recent direction.

Cool idea.

On the topic of FOSS, and promoting it, could we possibly get a MineClone2 server hosted, please?

We set up a community here and favour it over reddit: !mineclone2@lemmy.world (edited in proper URL)

Fair point. The ones ruining it are amongst that 45%, I would assume.

I think it's because the Australian flag has British flag in the top left corner. The blue part is Scotland, red vertical and horizontal flag is England. The red diagonal is Northern Ireland.

Basically, Scotland want independence from the UK, and probably don't want to be part of that flag, so that is likely why the blue is being placed over the red.

 

Shout out to the guys who did the awesome Minecraft art (not us). It was only appropriate as a FOSS Minecraft clone, to join as neighbours :).

Device boot time could be used for a user that clears their cookies to track and match sessions. Using that, and matching it with other information could give very reliable ways to fingerprint users.

Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it's ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.

I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

Saw this, and thought it was a rather interesting comments section. Seems like an active discreditation campaign going on. Focussing on past maintainer and the fact it doesn't work with 2 questionable bits of functionality (Google pay + Auto). Why would I want either in a privacy phone?
