This might be for the better, but Discord was so infuriating about updates and forcing you to download them what felt like 50% of the time I opened it, I gave up and just use it in Ungoogled Chromium now. I'm pretty sure within a few months I ended up having 15+ debs of Discord in my Downloads folder.

For anyone else trying to use the native Discord app on Debian, I think they'll find this a major treat.

The digital sign the local university has is powered by a Raspberry Pi - I caught it rebooting while driving past

For me, my default browser is LibreWolf with several privacy hardening extensions, but if I do come across a website that fails, my usual route goes LibreWolf > Firefox > Ungoogled Chromium

If it doesn't work beyond that then I just won't use the website.

Short answer: GeyserMC sidesteps that player authentication process Java players need to do

Long answer:

I've used and set up GeyserMC before. It sounds like the server you're joining has online-mode on, which requires all Java players who are joining to have a valid Java account and current authentication.

GeyserMC, being a mod to the server, entirely sidesteps this entire process. Your Bedrock cracked client requests to join and GeyserMC, being the way your client communicates with the server, just let's you in. It just sends your client the chunks, the entities, etc. and lets you interact with them, and Java players are shown an additional Player entity (being you).

GeyserMC actually has authentication a server owner can set up that does require a valid Bedrock account or valid Java account, but it seems the server(s) you're playing hasn't set this up.

Not OP, but I'm aware of it just from seeing it mentioned in threads like this. There might be a community or list available showing all these cool things but a lot of the time it just goes around by word-of-mouth.

23yo zoomer here. Like everyone else, I was stuck on the Michael Cera one for a while, but it was because I never heard of the guy and even after googling I didn't realise he was in one of the other photos.

Gosh texting on the Nokia felt so normal and equally a nice reminder on how nice the mobile keyboards we have now are.

I've never heard of a boomerang, the comments here filled me in but I'm not an Instagram user.

The iPod was fucking magical by the way, always wanted one as a kid growing up, even begging my parents just for the nano but they didn't see the value in that compared to the cheap knockoff MP4 players. I still want one nowadays but they're all stupid expensive.

I still have my iPhone SE 1st gen with the perfectly ratioed 16:9 display, so nice not having black bars, while also having room to put my thumbs while I hold it in landscape watching a video.

My main phone, a Pixel 7a, is better in every way but my goodness holding it while watching a landscape video is terrible because my fingers keep occasionally touching the edges which are registered.

Yeah, I believe that was a change they made not long after shafting 3rd party apps. I had a couple older iOS devices with their own older versions of third party apps, and that change effectively made any post with a Reddit uploaded image unviewable. Incredibly infuriating and I can't understand the logic behind it either.

I will say that further to that, a few years ago Imgur made a change that does the same damn thing if it detects you're on mobile. Unless you tick "Show Desktop Site" in your browser, it's impossible to actually standalone view a direct image.

Looks like it. There's a direct link to Nathan Adam's GitHub within that article

Well, in my defense I just wanted to initially try out Rust and on this particular computer, I don't have any IDE set up on it yet. However, definitely seems like an IDE is in order for me haha

It's done both on the server and client side, using signatures and block chain, something like that. There's videos you'll find online that explain it much better than my 2c would, and I'd imagine wiki.vg would have it documented in detail if it's still maintained.

Are homicides up in the rest of the developed world among youths? I feel that here in Australia, while we have our own fair share of domestic issues, it doesn't seem anywhere near as widespread that Aussie youths murders/homicides are higher than say, 10 or 20 years ago.

I don't have any sources for that, I am writing this up five minutes before I go to sleep, but I think it's a potential talking point, and if data does corroborate with my hunches on this, maybe it's not the social media alone and maybe something USA does differently? Maybe the lax gun control?
