What they failed to realise is teachers can have a unique ability to make kids hate a subject.

If you force them to do it, they can do it really badly without it being obvious.

I can imagine reading the Bible word for for in monotone from day 1 won’t be a good experience.

India was considered part of the BRIC rapidly developing economies long before modi. Feels weird to give him credit for what was inevitable.

I think it’s f to go forward one page, b for back. Down arrow goes down a line etc.

How can you feel good about yourself if you aren’t shaming people with less technical capabilities? Next you’ll say something crazy like believing in yourself. Nonsense, crazy person. Get out of here.

You’ve nailed this here, yet get downvotes. The amount of times I’ve gone to a man page and my eyes glaze over. Really handy to learn new flags or if you forget, but as an introductory material. They don’t work for everyone. People learn in different ways, sometimes by doing and my brain isn’t wired this way.

Very aware about Gitea, and unfortunately when we tried to migrate to Forgejo on Codeberg, the migration script got stuck in a repeating loop. Apparently it’s a known issue and we got very little help with this so unless we abandon all our issues including 850+ open ones, we’re in a bit of a pickle.

The new name followed those rules.It’s voxel and libre, sharing an L. Only debate is about how people pronounce Libre, and we ain’t that precious.

I would love everyone to use Matrix. I created the space and maintained it. We are now up to around 45 users ish. Discord has over 500. In gaming, it just operates at a different scale.

I’m as much of a FOSS enthusiast as you, but when you run big projects, you have to represent more than just your own personal view. You represent your players and contributors. Now and in the future. If you want new FOSS users, you have to reach them where they are. Best way to further FOSS software is to get new people using it. With over 350k downloads. I think we’re doing a pretty neat job.

It’s tempting to think your views are right and everyone else is wrong, but it’s no basis to be functional and collaborative. Are you running any large FOSS communities? Want to share info on how you’ve done these things and how effective it was?

You seem to not like the name or the things we do. Maybe tell us more about what you like…

We had the poll on Matrix also which is FOSS, and our issue tracker built on Gitea. The minetest forums are notoriously sluggish and many there don’t play VoxeLibre. We reached out to players in all areas. The fact remains that 80%+ of our players choose discord and ignoring them is not a helpful. A lot of people do not check the forum frequently, and that policy would be exclusionary and unjustifiably dogmatic.

We make extra efforts to reach out to our members in FOSS communities and do more than most to keep away from non-free software like Github and keep our channels bridged to matrix.

I can assure you the effort is non trivial and takes away from actually writing open source software. Very recently it lost all the data and we had to manually bridge 15+ channels again when I had waay too much other stuff going on. Many projects abandon these bridges because they are unreliable.

It was done by a poll on Discord, Matrix, and our issue tracker. I think over 120 votes were cast. It was a polling majority…

Multiplayer servers have between 20-40 on it most days. So usually can find people to play with. Quite a number enjoy the game. Obviously not on the level of MC. They’re a lot bigger with far more resources, but it’s a pretty solid game. It’s always special when people give up their free time to make the world better rather than tear things down ;).

I’m not trying to convince folk at all. I’m stating a fact that many prefer it because of it being FOSS. I don’t think anyone could ever persuade you of anything. Btw, Karma doesn’t exist here. That and your toxic attitude are better found on reddit.

You’re on Lemmy here. There is many people who actually care about privacy and telemetry doesn’t sit well with them. Many have been put off by the recent direction.

Not necessarily, there is MineClone2… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aHym2jUB1M

Cool idea.

On the topic of FOSS, and promoting it, could we possibly get a MineClone2 server hosted, please?

We set up a community here and favour it over reddit: [email protected] (edited in proper URL)

Humans can judge information make decisions on it and adapt it. AI mostly just looks at what is statistically what is most likely based on training data. If 1 piece of data exists, it will copy, not paraphrase. Example was from I think copilot where it just printed out the code and comments from an old game verbatim. I think Quake2. It isn’t intelligence, it is statistical copying.

Reddit seems to be creating a tipping process in which they take a cut… Delightful.

Who said anything about less important?

We’re all busy, and we use our time how we choose. They choose to use it in this way and I thanked them. Maybe consider how you spend your time. Arguing on the internet gives you very little.

Apologies if I came across as rude, but there has been several posters that are “interested” but couldn’t live without Auto or payment. It’s like of all the millions of features phones have, and the majority of dissenters here need the exact combination that GrapheneOS doesn’t support. I find that really odd. If you are one of the few that needs that, point taken and maybe it isn’t for you, but until today I hadn’t heard of Auto’s and now it’s critical and something that cannot be lived without.

When I got a degoogled phone, I’d already decided I do not trust Google with my data and I want to be far away from them. With that decision came the decision that I don’t consider them an authority I rely on, and don’t want their opinion on what is good and what isn’t. If people aren’t ready to degoogle, that is fine, but to ask google if it’s cool to degoogle is a an area where maybe folk aren’t ready to degoogle.

You are such a nerd…

… and so wonderful! Thanks for looking over source code so busy folk like me don’t have to! :)
