I’m going to throw it out here, Luanti + Mineclonia.

It lags behind Minecraft in terms of updates but has most of the stuff you’d want from a generic Minecraft playthrough.

I’m actually enjoying my playthrough, hence why I suggest it

Good point

I was mostly thinking in terms of Foss directly

Most gamers don’t make their own games as far as I know

Thrive and Veloren

Open source gaming will get a massive leg up from these 2

Ireland has always had a tiny population of Irish speakers some are even first language speakers

I believe they are trying to grow it with little success? I’m sure someone with boots on the ground can tell you whats actually going on

Don’t argue with them. Don’t give them facts or anything else.

Ask them questions, Let them explain themselves, they’ll see it as trying to convert you or explain MAGA to you.

In the process of that, by asking the right question at the right time, they will slowly over the course of multiple years change their mind.

Eventually they’ll ask you about your viewpoint and you’ll know youve made it the half way point

Discord is 100% I’m only unsure if it’s NSA or CCP

Yeah but the graph levels out, so just a company slave.

If thats true we should ask the lemmy devs to add a way to link to posts directly

Isnt there some notation with !commnity@instance?

skips the middle man?

What counts as diced though?

what line of work?

Very pot and kettle

We should push to add lego piracy to the piracy megathread.

Cheap deals and 3d print models

Basically every distro ships with office as well as a browser

If you need specific software then just download later like you would on windows

• Mindustry, it’s open source as well, must have sunk close on a thousand hours into it. Incredible Game, has a good modding scene as well.
• Trove, the opposite of Mindustry, in that the game sucks, I do not recommend. However the game had so much potential and it sort of half realized it before becoming a cash grab. Does a good job of releasing LOADS of dopamine for very simple game play. That said I am now looking into Veloren - which appears to try and be a better version of trove, although taking voxel MMORPG in a new direction. It’s also open source so, yeah.
• Minecraft - with mods. Nothing quite beats tech mod mania. I hope some day luanti gets to be a real competitor on some level, but till then.

I would note that the graphene os team has issues with F-Droid from memory, for security reasons. I use f-droid, but its best to be eyes open imo.

They said in the report that they have grown marketshare in Asia and Africa, as less people use apple in those regions the percentage dropped.

Theres only one good way to change someones mind over something that they have become entrenched about - for example politics, but anything where the reaction is a no rather than a what.

And thats to listen to everything they say, and ask the right question at the right time, a gentle interjection, something that nudges them to question something themselves. At somepoint they might even ask you about you perspective, and you need to give the right kind of answer.

Its slow and painful, and for big things it takes years and years of work to get someone to change. But its the only way ive found to truly work.

I thought that was more of a language barrier thing tbh, poor guy probably would have used father or dad if he knew the connatations.

Not the person you replied to, but this is a nuanced conversation, much beyond the simplicity of disabled or not.

Deafness is the one that comes to mind, there are others that do as well, but I grew up in a Deaf household so I know a bit more about it.

For a group of Deaf people, they quite like being Deaf, they have their own language and schools etc. Those schools arent particularly decent, but for the group that like being Deaf they dont care. They’d rather fix the schools then fix their kids.

The notion that disability is a social issue is true, but fixing society to cater towards most disabled groups is a far greater task in most cases. Obviously Deafness and others are the expection where it is felt that it is easier/better to fix society.

Deafness has been “curable” for a while, yet i was raised to see that cure as a form of genocide, trying to erradicate a linguistic minority, rather than fix them. As without deaf children, it was very unlikely anyone would pick up their language.

I frankly think that there is no downside to try to be positive about disablilty, i say this from the uk, where the rhetoric has been destructive beyond belief. That said it is all very case dependent.
