That’s the fast lane to having every company that values their IP exiting Brazil. Apple would roll their certificates and quit signing whatever Brazil was building with and Brazil’s economy would be way worse off for nothing.

Cu at the bottom!

Hosting the server is free. I’m actually not sure about windows because I don’t use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.

For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I’ve never done that. There is an itzg Java server container https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

FWIW Bedrock lets you connect to servers online that have free games to play like Bed Wars, Sky Wars, Block Party. I don’t know if Java has that.

My kids and I use https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server and I would recommend it.

This era was before smartphones and always-online lifestyle. Being always online is a prerequisite to the attention economy.

So, yes, you’re right that the best internet was back then. Back when we could leave it at home and go out into the world knowing everybody else had also left it at home.

Laptops are an obvious exception back then, but almost nobody took their laptop to the bar with them, or to a concert, or on a hike, or to the grocery store. And the trouble of pulling it out and trying to find WiFi meant that it wasn’t easy enough to distract the majority.

This does not sound good for those people. Writing is a way of thinking. AI writing assistants are competitive cognitive artifacts. People who use AI to write most of their written communication will get worse at thinking through writing.

Doublethink.

Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality.

I’ve really wanted to do this, in large part because of tech neck. I’d love to have a HMD that has focusable optics so I don’t subconsciously strain my neck to look at my screen.

Anybody have recommendations? I’d love a dumb HMD with hdmi or usb-c video input.

No. It’s not wrong. Is Bob your personal friend? It sounds like you are only ex-coworkers. Getting in touch with ex-coworkers to find work is what business networks are largely about.

I migrated from mediawiki to markdown in git 8 years ago and never looked back. The ability to publish to any number of static site hosts, and use any number of editors, some that have preview mode, is rad. Data liberty, data portability, wide support, easy to convert, easy to grep, good enough for 95% of written notes.

My biggest gripe is poor support for tables of data.

Which is really unexpected if you’re looking at an oil lamp.

Who cares. Reddit is dead to me, and spez murdered it.

Reddit was amazing. I will always enjoy and fondly remember what it was like before Spez fucked up one of the most reputable cultures and brands in internet history. Fuck that guy… just… what a fucking shithead to destroy something so wonderful.
