I can't speak to the specifics of it, but Bedrock and Java editions are functionally entirely different games. They're designed to function nearly the same, but under the hood, the only real similarities are in the graphical assets. Past the user interaction, they're not really comparable at all.

Since OpenNIC resolvers are user-run, doesn't that mean a bad actor could theoretically pop up at any time and log any request that goes through them?

I've read about this one. I don't know if it applies to games totally managed by other stores, but I know it originated with key distribution. The gist is, they distribute keys to the publisher free of charge, so this was so they can't undermine their pricing while still utilizing their content distribution systems.

IIRC, it basically just says that base prices have to be the same.

Gallery-dl is another option.

If you're referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.

As for the proton, I'll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.

Generally good, but fairly troublesome. I dualboot Pop_OS!, and the install was a nightmare. The live USB wouldn't boot until I unplugged every USB device. Once it started, I could plug them back in. Then, when actually installing, the info about the various partitions I would need was apparently pretty out of date (recommend partition sizes were way off).

Once installed, though, it's been really nice, albeit a fair bit more complicated. The only real issue I've had so far is that, in Unity games run through wine, video streamed in-game won't play.

If you dont pay a cent you have like nothing to complain

Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.

Gee, if only there was an option other than Chrome!

Dorsey was on a tear yesterday, unfollowing all but three accounts on X while referring to Elon Musk’s platform as “freedom technology.”

Ah, I see. He went insane.

This isn't a Windows thing, it's a firmware thing. It's HP's doing, and HP is well known for screwing with the usability of their devices. In my case, on my Victus, it's F10 that opens UEFI, but the menus are incredibly stripped down. Looking online, F10 seems to be the key to access it on your device, too. Maybe you just aren't getting the timing right, sometimes you gotta mash the absolute hell out of that button to get it to register. Once you do get it, setting a post delay will make it easier in the future.

You leave The Golden Girls alone, mother fucker.

ChatGPT API Piracy (lemmyonline.com)

Is this even still a thing? It seems to be pretty well dead. Poe-API shat the bed, GPT4FREE got shut down and it's replacement seems to be pretty much non-functional, Proxies are a weird secret club thing (despite being nearly totally based on scraped corporate keys), etc.

Is Xmanager a Scam? (lemmyonline.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

So, I've heard about XManager for a little while and just finally decided to try it, and...

So just level with me, is this thing an advertising scam? When I tap on a version and choose download, an ad appears, I wait for it's timer to finish, close it and... Nothing happens. It never downloads anything, just serves ad after ad.

Edit: So, after disabling ads and trying again several more times, I was able to download and install.

I've got a big music library of CD rips that I'd like to share, but my ISP routes my traffic, meaning I can't forward shit to my computer. I can't change ISPs because I live in a functional monopoly and this is the only provider with reasonable data rates. Is there anything I can do to share? Thanks in advance!
