this launcher has a tab for minecraft news, but that tab really justs embeds part of the minecraft website. so, by looking around and clicking on links, it’s possible to go to other pages!

i don’t remember exactly what i did there, but iirc it involved going through some microsoft help page and from there going on bing. and once you’ve got access to a search engine, you can basically do whatever. here, i just searched "play doom online" or something and ended up on that website!

not really, it’s more playing Doom in the minecraft launcher

but there are people who have played Doom in the game itself tho

tbh, i think it’s a fair decision on their part. it wasn’t just cursor theming, but also the cursor didn’t center properly, key combinations like CTRL-C would instead just type "c" (a big problem when you have text selected), and worst of all, the game straight up wouldn’t boot on nvidia graphics cards apparently. if you scroll to the end of this snapshot’s changelog, you’ll see they fixed a bunch of issues with Wayland. and rolling back support is their fix.

and it’s fair enough, imo. when you consider that fixing all these bugs just requires you to downgrade the LWJGL version (which seems to be what they did), that XWayland is what is expected since it’s been the behavior all this time and the vast majority of other games use it, that it’s possible for players (using mods and third-party launchers) to reenable Wayland support, and that most of these Wayland-only issues are problems with LWJGL/GLFW and not minecraft…

yea. i can see why they did that.

still, i hope we get official Wayland support back in someday.

they rolled back the Wayland support 😑

[-] carotte 9 points 5 days ago

of course they are. they aid genocide abroad, why wouldn’t they do it at home too?

"largely unaffected"? these coups are how the US steals resources from south america!

you benefit from these coups every time you buy a banana or chocolate.

our education system is in ruins, our healthcare system is even worse, people can’t pay for housing and groceries, and despite tons of budget cuts everywhere the provincial debt has never been worse.

…but thankfully, the CAQ is here to fight the real issues: those darn Muslims doing childcare!!!

[-] carotte 12 points 6 days ago

oh no the public prayer ban thing is 100%, wholly just Islamophobia. the people who want the ban have already said they’re fine with catholic public praying.

i’ll note that Muslims doing prayers in public in quebec started pretty recently, and most of it is grieving during pro-Palestine protests.

that’s what quebec wants to ban: people grieving for Palestine. it’s sickening

[-] carotte 19 points 6 days ago

lmao catholic private schools receive public funds in quebec too

why do actual secularism when you could just attack Muslim people 🙃

do you ever stop to think about it sometimes?

how worked up you are because people use an operating system you don’t like. imagine doing that with other things.

"ugh this shirt is kinda itchy" "well that’s your own damn fault for using this bad shirt!!! next time switch to a better shirt you useless fuck!"

[-] carotte 35 points 6 days ago

ok so a couple things for the people in this thread:

  1. sometimes, when people complain, they don’t want advice. they just want to vent their frustration. that’s ok. your advice is just gonna come off as annoying, especially
  2. if they’ve heard it a billion times already. and trust me, if you’re on the fediverse and complain about windows or macos, you’ve heard "just use linux lol" before.
  3. holy shit stop doing victim blaming. this goes for everything btw. like. stop. "lol your fault for using windows" shut up. if you’re already doing victim blaming for trivial stuff, i don’t trust you for when much more serious problems arise.

i just wish OSM was more complete… it’s fine for big cities, but when you live in small rural areas it’s practically useless. my village only has its roads mapped, nothing else.

(and yes i know you can edit the map. and that it’s the entire point of OSM. i know that. but it takes a ton of effort, and it’s an ongoing effort because cities change!)

OSM contributors, you are amazing and cherished and your work does not go unappreciated. i just wish there was more of us…

TranscriptScreenshot of a Tumblr post by sonicguillotine:

For the past few years any time there’s a public shooting, political or not, fascists immediately begin pushing a narrative that the shooter had some connection to the trans community, anarchist or communist politics, to migrant or Black communities. These are always tenuous claims but now with multiple racist lynchings following Kirk’s death, it’s time to recognize the danger of these kinds of mythmakings. They are calls to violence.

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Transcript

Screenshot of a Bluesky quote chain.

The first post, by @DKThomp on Twitter, says: "Fascinating @benthompson vision of the future of the Internet—i.e., 'The Agentic Web' Scenario: Before I go to sleep, I tell ChatGPT 'Plan my 5-year-old's birthday next Saturday, budget $500. When you've made the reservation, email these 20 ppl a printable invitation to attend. Also my wife wants to go to England in mid-July. Find 5 plausible flights for the family and make several distinct itineraries. Finally, pls edit this work memo.'

When I go to sleep, the Al agent negotiates slots with two bowling alleys, buys a cake, emails printable invites, plans the trip, copy-edits, etc."

It is quoted by Drew Harwell on Bluesky: "Wouldn't do this in a million years".

This quote is then quoted by @cinemashoebox.bsky.social: "Waking up to 20 angry parents of my son's friends wondering why they've been sent an invitation to a BRITOTHDYA PRRRYT featuring a picture of Elsa with three eyes and tits bigger than her head. meanhile my wife is boarding a plane for her 176 hour flight to England via four layovers in Antarctica"
