It got renamed? That seems pretty crazy, but it might be for the better considering the original name didn't really suggest it was a serious independent project.

We just got vertical align last month. There's so many things they should be working on but are too busy trying to add more ads or monetization features.

I think the web is just too long in the tooth at this point but there's nothing we can do.

The software to run a server for a game is different from the client software. I have to buy Minecraft to be able to download and use the client, but the server is freely available for anyone to host their own server.

Developers almost always release their server software for free if they offer it. The user is providing a service to the developer by offering another server for the community to use without the developer having to pay for it. There's no reason to charge for it.

You can even password protect your server and put it behind a patreon or other exclusive membership, but it's hard to compete with free servers. You have to offer some kind of special experience.

Everything you're complaining about has been common practice in the PC space for decades.

NixOS gang, you here?

No? Guess I'm here alone. Meme checks out.

Red sea urchin. Long life and limb regeneration.

I don't want to turn back into a baby like those who chose the immortal jellyfish.

NodeCore is another great Minetest game. I haven't been able to find a game that matches the feeling of discovery it provides as you learn about the rules of the world.

This isn't really a Windows vs Linux issue as far as I'm aware. It was a bad driver update made by a third party. I don't see why Linux couldn't suffer from the same kind of issue.

We should dunk on Windows for Windows specific flaws. Like how Windows won't let me reinstall a corrupted Windows Store library file because admins can't be trusted to manage Microsoft components on their own machine.

All EVs come with Level 1 chargers that plug in to your standard house outlet, NEMA 5-15R. If there's an outlet nearby you can charge your car.

That can still be difficult for apartment renters, but there's no need to modify your house.

It's the wind turbines knocking the water out of the sky!

I'll give you a hint: Arr!

Heat stroke probably.

Do you use the Infinitime firmware? I remember weather display being fairly limited back when I tried.
