but there are plans to bring Vibrant Visuals to Minecraft: Java Edition in the future

Well if it comes together with the official modding API, I have nothing to worry about.πŸ˜…

He was also a prolific inventor that worked tirelessly to help give us the telegraph

Definitely not. The first telegraph was built by Francos Ronalds, about 30 years before Edison's birth. Gauss/Weber built another one 1833. Morse and Vail introduced electromagnetic relays in 1838, enabling signals to travel beyond short distances.

and the lightbulb.

Arguably. He may made the first commercially viable lightbulb, but not the first overall. Alessandro Volta, Humphrey Davy, James Bowman Lindsay, Warren de la Rue and William Staite all played a role.

Thomas Edison was a narcissistic hole, who helped kill an elephant.

That may be the case, but doesn't change the fact, that games run better without Denuvo.

It also doesn't change the fact that the activation limit is stupid as hell when you are using Linux and every Proton change counts as a new activation.

As far as I know Denuvo also hinders the development of native Linux builds of games.

And if you see video games as art, Denuvo actively stands in the way of preservation.

Obviously it is anti-consumer as you can't do backups, need constant internet convection, if any part of the chain breaks you are screwed out of your game, it hinders mod developers and so on.

Time for another before/after performance comparison, just for an ignorant Denuvo salestwat to say: "Nuh-Uh"

Godot quickly became one of my favourite open source projects to watch. I played around with it for a bit when 3D was clearly an afterthought and seen continuous improvement ever since.

-1 for INWX. Still waiting on a domain transfer, domain is stuck for about a month, chat support was useless

Yeah, min-max that shit and live your happily ever after.

I have it running. For epic games it mostly is a reminder to start Heroic, as the auto claim does not work for me. Gog rarely has free games, so I am not sure. Amazon Prime works fine (sometimes it has codes for gog/epic), which can also be used with Heroic.

Such a good series, but I deliberately didn't mention it here as not to spoil too muchπŸ˜…

Religion might be right and you end up in the bad place

With modern life being as it is, we would be screwed either way in most religions. Everyone is probably breaking at least a couple of dozen rules in every religion.

Even if you just need to follow a central "be kind"-rule - how kind is it to buy stuff on Amazon, packed and delivered by wage slaves, which was imported from China (which may include child or slave labour) [or some US states for that matter] while also hurting the environment in the process.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Such a good reward, where can I take this challenge?

 

I currently use two mail clients: Betterbird (Thunderbird with additional bugfixes) on Linux [PikaOS] & FairEmail on Android. I have numerous folders because of server-side sieve filtering, which mostly creates structures like //. While it works, FairEmail is a battery drain when fetching all folders (I assume because there is no FetchAll in IMAP) and both are rather slow. Thunderbird especially also kind of sucks at picking up newly created folders.

So now my line of thought was to have a self-hosted email client/web app, which would eliminate these two main issues. Instead of an FairEmail/Betterbird, I would like to use a PWA. I would appreciate it if it had some offline caching, though. A must is push notifications on my android device (ideally through some proxy or UnifiedPush, so I don’t have to expose the client to the WWW). Another needed feature is the ability to send from any email associated to my domain. I would run it on a local server & access it via VPN. PGP client support would be neat as well, though I currently do not use it.

To clarify: I am not looking to host a mail server & I am not looking to host a desktop app. I am looking for something like Rainloop, but it needs to download the mails from multiple providers, automatically pick up new folders & send notifications (via browser, ntfy, gotify, etc) when something arrives and obviously the UI needs to work on Desktop and Android.

Does anyone have any recommendations in this regard? πŸ™‚
