That's the one I tapked about that apparently changes stuff.

The idea would be to run the build Microsoft/Mojang provides, not this.

Oh, right: !google@lemdro.id might be a better fit for the post?

And posting as a reply instead of an edit because I've seen before Lemmy not receiving edits from Mbin.

[Solved] indicates it was a question that got solved; post however is just a tutorial. Clickbait much?
Community, "deGoogle"; post, "how to keep using a Google service".

Would it be a publicly available page, or accessible only for you?

If it's a public page, you could possibly host shareware games or with other licenses with a similar effect.

And there's plenty of games you can legally buy as ROMs (e.g. homebrews on Itchio), games that include ROMs in their files (e.g. River City Girls 0 on Steam, most Neo Geo releases on PC platforms and pretty much any MS-DOS game rerelease), and if you're from a region with laws not as draconian as the DMCA, there are games with ROMs embedded in their files and that can be extracted. So if it's a private page, you could go for those too.

Any lasting changes, for better or worse, take time and effort. And among all the noise, gaslighting and problems people have to deal with, they seek change only when it gets to their comfort zone.

If you see an alternative as a better option, I'd suggest pushing that to those that may be interested, even if marginally so. But be watchful if the person shows too much resistance to what you show, and slow down then, else you risk making the person even resent what you were showing.

Also, some concessions may be needed, such as having some presence in the tools you want to ditch but pointing to the alternatives as possible, being more active in your preferred places, sorting links and resources in the bio, posts, comments, etc., by what you find more relevant first, and so on.

PS3. Coming from the PS2, the library was bland in comparison. And later on, when I got interested in console modding, the PS3 was the slowest and most cumbersome to do anything and with barely any variety of homebrew stuff. And also, I'm dreading having to replace the controller (due to the 3rd party PS button situation) and replacing the HD (due to how entangled pieces apparently are).

Later on, it'd become an overpowered PS2 console for me.

There's no honor among the dishonorable, as a Brazilian analyst would say:

I wouldn't doubt the thieves are still holding to copies of the data they stole, just waiting either for another opportunity to blackmail those affected again, to use the data for other nefarious means as a shell group, or to sell it to another ill-intended group without leaving traces.

From stealing and putting a price on people's private data and possibly their safety, and to the possibility of dishonoring a "sales" contract, the morality bar was already pretty low on the two concrete cases, so the third would be easy to do on this standpoint.

I think it's a projection joke. Win12 isn't even released yet.

Tried finding any relation between what you commented and the article without luck. Dunno why the "IR" (whatever that means) as a hyperlink to something included in the page from the devs the article links, the newspaper emoji or the middle finger emoji next to the author's name.

The text is longer than I initially noticed so will read it in full later.

But if it keeps going in the idea that the internet needs to be anarchic, I'd advise to be careful with that.

If even one of the sterile, centralizing oligopolies stays like this, it will start absorbing the smaller pieces acting anarchic, inflating again in the process, and by extension it'd keep centralizing.

In this line, I defend primarily the presence of strong competition. In biology, competition is what makes species evolve, and in the free market, it makes services and products improve.

In the biology analogy, the competition between two species of trees may shade the soild, making it moister and thus helping giving space to moss, insects, small animals, bushes and some times also grass, a bustling ecosystem because the trees are competing for sunlight.

In stagnated markets for stuff I follow, and that I've seen in recent years suddenly those seeing competition reappear, after an initial confusion and damage control not dissimilar to the "pororoca" tide, they had to go back to making decent products and services to stay relevant.

And on an adjacent point, anarchy is a state os lawlessness, which isn't true for the internet. Laws change from place to place, but I've yet to see any but very edge cases where stabilished laws don't apply also to the internet.

To say internet should be anarchic could disarm the immediate argument that it is currently lawless, yes. But those trying to pass new internet laws, centralizing governments to my understanding, and perhaps worse than oligopolies (even if those two are usually related afaik), use any excuse to try to force people to accept we need such laws that are effectively censorship and police state bills.

So in short, I think ideally deflation and competition are better solutions, but people should be watchful how "birds of prey" just waiting for a new target react to how such things are conveyed.

And I wrote more than I also expected. Oopsie... e.e"

Iirc, FFX is a ~200h game if you go for optionals, ~80h if you focus mostly on the main story. So if the start takes maybe 3h (at least how long I go about without rushing and without challenges), the start doesn't seem too long.

About looking weird, could be, yeah. Apparently from the SNES to the N64 and PS1 was a major leap too, which gave all those experimental 3D games;

Also would imagine Old Reddit (old.reddit.com) is unaffected, as usual.

To @FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world: there are also communities made specifically to test, so you can pick an alt or two and try ping each other back and forth.
