Nice! Heard of new versions of TerraFirmaCraft, but I believe it is community maintained, as the main author seems to focus on Vintage Story. But since you mention it works fine, I might as well give it a spin! Didn’t know Gregtech updated to newer versions.

No need to advertise Prism - using it already :)

Also, UltimMC is a decent offline fork for pirates and privacy enthusiasts (Disclaimer: I do not promote piracy and own a legal Minecraft license)

I’m so lost and then I try to play like a Beta 1.7.3 player and everyone else just goes “the fuck are you doing?”

Happily, I joined Minecraft when it was already 1.7.2 (release versioning, not Beta), so my ways are not THAT outdated, and obviously I never had issues with 1.7.10 because it’s literally my first version with two minor updates. Who would have known that it will all stop there…

Also, I struck some delicate balance with mods at version 1.21.1, but it is for sure still a much different experience.

I too find myself returning back there :)

So many great mods died after this version that it was impossible to recreate the experience - and I feel bad for those who joined the party later and never knew what 1.7.10 (or 1.6.4, or 1.5.2 for that matter) has to offer.

It goes so bad that when I recently loaded a newer version, I was like “what the hell is going on here” :D

Feed the Beast is commonly overloaded and also commonly shoves things like progression and questing, which are not to everybody’s liking.

The best approach is always to add the mods you want manually to tailor the experience.

I personally had most fun with Terrafirmacraft, Thaumcraft, Electrical Age, and GregTech. But those were the days gone, and most of them got stuck at 1.7.10

I see. But sometimes, progress really makes lesser problems than there were before.

We have cheap and generally eco-friendly solar, we install plenty of wind, and now we have a much more ecological way to store the power, too.

The rich care about their profits, and if eco-friendly tech delivers that, they’ll be all-in. Some fossil kings will try to stop it, but at this point, this trend is irreversible, because others among the rich are ready to destroy them.

Yes.

Here’s the thing: sodium chloride aka table salt is extremely abundant. We are not expected to run out of it in any measurable timeframe, and the effect of sodium mining on the oceans or ecosystems at large is negligible.

Same cannot be said of lithium, which currently forms the backbone of battery tech. It is rare, and its extraction is extremely polluting. In fact, lithium is responsible for a huge chunk of renewable energy’s ecological footprint.

Switching to sodium technology is like switching from silver to sand. It’s just one thing we truly have enough of.

Linux is exactly where you should go with old computers.

With a proper distribution/DE combination, you can run it on 20+ year old computers with no issue.

But overall, if your laptop runs Windows 10, it will likely run every Linux distribution easily.

The more I know, thanks!

Amazing

Beautiful! Much worth asking for lol. Lawrence Linux ftw!

Actually, this is true as well

Excessively modifying your system, most commonly in how it looks, spending dozens of hours making it look just right.

Not sure of etymology

Surprisingly enough, all of these statements are at least partially true.

That’s fair! :)

I have the absolute opposite of your opinion :D

Immutable distros are not good for beginners, for two main reasons:

• A lot of general-purpose Linux guides just don’t work with them, making newbies confused and forcing them to learn a lot of new stuff when they’re not ready
• Some software just doesn’t run with immutable distros - for example, most VPNs are not ready

Setting btrfs snapshots on respective directories, so folks can rollback unwanted changes? Great! Tying people’s hands? Might come with complications.

KDE is a brilliant DE for people coming from Windows: it has similar layout, it stands out of your way, and overall has a very easy learning curve. I’ve never seen anyone seriously stuck with setting up anything it has to offer, and yet, it’s very, very customizable. Folks I offered it to either stayed with the defaults and were totally happy with it, or immediately started tuning everything to their liking with no issues whatsoever.

After all, someone who didn’t touch Windows for a while might forget how much convoluted are settings there, and how Windows users are ready to dig through them.

The world needs more crappy handwork like this

It’s so swift!

They also try to promote a positive image of “work-life blend” in order to try and spark people’s enthusiasm for working pretty much 24/7.

As in, “work-life balance is a bad concept because it makes work look evil. Let’s put work into all aspects of life, make you live and breathe work, then you won’t think about it”
