I came to the same conclusion., I need a “Spotify connect” type feature, and when I looked, tidal had just axed their equivalent.

Until a competitor allows me to play music on a headless Linux box and control it with my phone, I’m stuck with Spotify

How do you think tariffs work?

I wanted to be a race car driver. Literally had no other ambitions, that’s all I wanted, and I grew up being told I could be anything I wanted to be. Well we grew up homeless and I didn’t realise it was something only wealthy families could afford to support.

Turns out I couldn’t be anything I wanted to be.

I work in I.T. now. It’s fine, pays the bils. I built myself a pretty decent sim racing rig so although it’s not the same thing, it somewhat scratches the itch.

The chat currently is how you enter commands. But guess what… Mojang has the ability to change that. You know, like they’ve been changing the game for as long as the game has existed.

You litteraly have no idea how they’re going to implement this change. It’s stupid to assume that they’re going to block the chat window without any other way to run commands. You are clearly experiencing a severe lack of critical thinking skills.

But sure, go ahead and assume the worst

Again, Mojang has zero control over what websites host. And the British government has zero control over what websites host in other countries.

Yes the government can try to block access to certain websites, but as you’ve started, a VPN is an easy way to get around that.

But also if you think Minecraft mods are high up on the government’s radar, you’re not really thinking clearly.

Like, think it through… If I have a website that runs on server in Switzerland, serving a Minecraft mod, how the hell would Mojang know about it? How the hell are they gonna stop me? They can’t and they would be foolish to try. The British government can’t shut it down, they have no jurisdiction. Any attempts to try and block the UK population from accessing it would be thwarted by a VPN.

So while I agree the age verification stuff is stupid. You’re assuming it will prevent you from being able to use commands (highly unlikely), and your assuming Mojang will somehow take down websites they have no control over to prevent mods from changing this? And you’re also assuming the UK governments will care enough about Minecraft mods to block access to mod websites?

You’re making a lot of assumptions and literally none of them make any sense

I’m talking about mods that could allow running commands. Please re-read this comment chain.

Mods hosted on websites not based in the UK cannot be taken down by the UK government.

So yes, people in the UK have to abide by the age verification ( if they want social features, so you do have a choice). But people in the UK can also download and install any mod they want.

Age verification sucks, but at this point in time all we know is that it will be required for social features. Running commands, which seems to be your main concern, is not a social feature

The British government have no jurisdiction over websites hosted outside the UK.

Lmao, under what jurisdiction?

Microsoft have no power over what other websites host

So glad the idiotic decisions Microsoft makes doesn’t effect my computer. And I’m excited for the rest of the population to make the shift to Linux, at least on their personal computers.

It doesn’t have to be like this, you too can be immune

These mushrooms produce pretty consistent results. From what I’ve heard, most people that eat them report seeing tiny men. Wayyy more consistent and specific of a hallucination then eating a standard cubensis mushroom.

I’m not claiming there’s anything more than a hallucination going on here, but it is fascinating how specific and consistent the results are. Makes you wonder about the future of hallucinogens, perhaps one day we can synthesise specific trips, kind of like a total recall situation where you could choose what you want to experience

Total hours played it’s gotta be Assetto Corsa.

Game I’ve been playing off and on for the longest time is likely Minecraft

Have you tried using yabridge? https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge#configuration

It’s not perfect, some plugins still have issues. But most of the time it works really well. I use this with reaper and find music production is totally doable in Linux

Vueve Clicquot champagne and a Spanish truffle cheddar

Some drugs you should absolutely not be getting drunk with. Do your research to ensure it’s safe. Other drugs I kinda just wouldn’t bother. I’d say either get high or get drunk, both seems like overkill. I’d pick getting high so you don’t feel like shit the next day but you do you.

Take it slow, keep hydrated, have food and snacks available. Don’t do shots, don’t try and rush it

I made a new friend last night. She’s super fucking cool

Or even better, just run Linux and avoid Microsoft entirely

Interesting. Thank you

Wait I assumed what Americans call jelly IS jam? Wtf is jelly if that’s not the case?

We didn’t do speeches at my wedding. It was awesome

As a fellow South Australian, I had the same thought. This is NOT an Australian issue, this is a Sydney issue.
