This is going to be a great time to be a lawyer... until the climate kills us all, of course.

When unsure of what the Captcha is trying to learn from me, I find "Kill all humans." is a pretty good guess what the Captcha is really after.
Oh, gee. A Microsoft product that worked perfectly locally is about to require a subscription. Who could have possibly guessed that would happen, yet again? (This is sarcasm.)
I really like OneNote, but I decided to learn something else when I realized which way the wind was blowing.
Bosch has a lot of goodwill. Interesting how they decide to spend it. Also Consumer Reports needs to start considering Internet connectivity, because the risks from Internet connected dishwashers are real and scary.
Usually the asshole.
Yeah. And, in fairness, as a non-pirate, I read along here for tips and tricks to get a non-shit streaming experience out of my home hosted hardware.
If I could still pay for a non-shit streaming experience, I would just do that.
We're all getting clones. You get a clone. And you get a clone. Every 23andMe customer gets a free* clone!

It’s you can modify the settings file you sure as hell can put the malware anywhere you want
True. (But in case it amuses you or others reading along:) But a code settings file still carries it's own special risk, as an executable file, in a predictable place, that gets run regularly.
An executable settings file is particularly nice for the attacker, as it's a great place to ensure that any injected code gets executed without much effort.
In particular, if an attacker can force a reboot, they know the settings file will get read reasonably early during the start-up process.
So a settings file that's written in code can be useful for an attacker who can write to the disk (like through a poorly secured upload prompt), but doesn't have full shell access yet.
They will typically upload a reverse shell, and use a line added to settings to ensure the reverse shell gets executed and starts listening for connections.
Edit (because it may also amuse anyone reading along): The same attack can be accomplished with a JSON or YAML settings file, but it relies on the JSON or YAML interpreter having a known critical security flaw. Thankfully most of them don't usually have one, most of the time, if they're kept up to date.
Yeah. Luanti following Minecraft is nothing new. Mineclonia was an early pilot game for the engine.
But there hasn't been much effort on copying Minecraft lately. Mineclonia is done, and it's great.
We've had more mobs, animals, plants, textures, and such than un-modded Minecraft for a long time. (Which is unfair, as Luanti is a mod-first design.) But my point is the core Launti dev team doesn't have to work on any of that.
The most noticeable recent Luanti updates have been to make the configuration screens much nicer, and add I think to add native support for more graphics tricks?
I'm not paying attention to graphics in Luanti. As others have mentioned, that's not why I play it. I actually had a conversation recently about the best way to downgrade Luanti default graphics to match un-modded Minecraft.
That said, the Minecraft team taking notice of Luanti would be new, as far as I know.
At some point we're going to give in an rename this Lemmy, right? Because this is awesome, and I want to continue to see stuff like this.
...But hopefully never in person.
Then every question afterwards is just "who couldn't get promoted even a single time during a years long mission in the Delta quadrant?"
