this photo from Atlanta’s lesbian bar last weekend is so amazing. we need to add it to the canon of images like This. A femme about to pounce!!!

so like hypothetically considering the mojang auth servers there will be a time where you cannot join multiplayer servers unless they put themselves in offline mode, which allows anyone to use any username to join unless the server has plugins or mods set up to make you log in to it

[sycamorality]

obviously right now minecraft makes too much money for them to stop updating/supporting it. but there will come a time where minecraft is so old that, not only has it not received actual updates in years, but they also won't, or can't, support the auth servers anymore.

which means suddenly your account cannot be verified as an actual account. and the launcher obviously needs to authorise that like, hey yeah this is a legit person with a legit account who bought the game, so when, at some point in the future, those auth servers die, piracy and offlinemode servers will be the only way to play with other people

[sycamorality]

i'm assuming when this point comes, legit third party launchers, like multimc, modrinth and prism (use prism if you can by the way), or whatever launchers will exist then, won't try to check in with mojang to make sure your account is legit (because currently they do).

but for the people who don't know those exist, like, sometimes when the auth servers are absolutely bricked and dead for a period, you can't even launch the game to play singleplayer. so when this happens, like, not only can you not play with other people, you can't even play your own singleplayer worlds, which means piracy and such will be the only way to play the game.

and i think that sucks, but i'm hoping we'll get to a point with stop killing games that we'll have laws that mean you don't need the auth servers at that point and can launch the game offline no problem.

[sycamorality]

i dunno. i can't help but think about the far future and how games that require authentication servers to prove that "yeah you bought the game your copy is legit here you go you can launch it" will end up unplayable. i mean, this happened with games that require a connection to a server to even play, like dark spore or time of dragons (though tod was/is free). they're completely unplayable.

and i can't help but think about what that'd mean for minecraft, when the point comes that it dies because they won't/can't justify supporting it anymore, because when even just launching the game requires checking in with the auth servers.....

[sycamorality]

obviously we've come to a point where a good bit of things are archived nowadays. we have a whole project in the mc community for archiving old minecraft versions (hell, if i recall, they even archived an old development version that wasn't public). i'm sure multiple people will continue to have various more modern versions saved on their computer, so the game will still be playable, in one way or another.

it's just kind of tragic that there will come a time where things won't be as readily accessible as they are.

So let me get this straight. When you code you actually have to write code and understand coding to code??

[averagesteamuser1]

no actually you just copy paste other’s code and hope it works

[apricotbuncakes]

Yesn't to both of these!

You do need to know what your code does, because even if another person's code works when you put it in, you may need to expand upon or change the code slightly to fit you or your client's needs right.

You need to be able to look at the code you copy and pasted and say "This command does this, and that changes that" so on and so forth.

But the good news is that even if you don't, there's plenty of resources to learn from. Ideally, you start with reading first.

Free Code Camp is pretty good. We used it in at least one of my college coding classes. Not my favorite, but certainly acceptable as a learning material.

Automate The Boring Stuff is great for learning python, and is quite funny if you're a fan of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and or Monty Python. Python is the coding language I recommend you learn FIRST for those looking to make videogames. Python is great to get you aquatinted with the basics of coding habits, is fairly easy to read even as a beginner, and has straight-forward commands.

W3Schools is AWESOME and a life saver while I'm coding. I primarily use it for HTML and CSS help (the foundation/supports and decorations/aesthetics for websites). That said, they have other coding languages to learn about on there, and is a great and well organized resource! Genuinely, bookmark this page, it will save you so much time.

Broke af?

But still interested in feeding yourself? What if I told you that there’s a woman with a blog who had to feed both herself and her young son…on 10 British pounds ($15/14 Euro) per week?

Let me tell you a thing.

This woman saved my life last year. Actually saved my life. I had a piggy bank full of change and that’s it. Many people in my fandom might remember that dark time as when I had to hock my writing skills in exchange for donations. I cried a lot then. 

This is real talk, people: I marked down exactly what I needed to buy, totaled it, counted out that exact change, and then went to three different stores to buy what I needed so I didn’t have to dump a load of change on just one person. I was already embarrassed, but to feel people staring? Utter shame suffused me. The reasons behind that are another post all together. 

AgirlcalledJack.com is run by a British woman who was on benefits for years. Things got desperate. She had to find a way to feed herself and her son using just the basics that could be found at the supermarket. But the recipes she came up with are amazing. 

You have to consider the differing costs of things between countries, but if you just have three ingredients in your cupboard, this woman will tell you what to do with it. Check what you already have. Chances are you have the basics of a filling meal already. 

Here’s her list of kitchen basics. 

Bake your own bread. It’s easier than you think. Here’s a list of many recipes, each using some variation of just plain flour, yeast, some oil, maybe water or lemon juice. And kneading bread is therapeutic. 

Make your own pasta–gluten free. 

She gets it. She really does. This is the article that started it all. It’s called “Hunger Hurts”.

She has vegan recipes.

A carrot, a can of kidney beans, and some cumin will get you a really filling soup…or throw in some flour for binding and you’ve got yourself a burger. 

Don’t have an oven or the stove isn’t available? She covers that in her Microwave Cooking section. 

She has a book, but many recipes can be found on her blog for free. She prices her recipes down to the cent, and every year she participates in a project called “Living Below the Line” where she has to live on 1 BP per day of food for five days. 

Things improved for me a little, but her website is my go to. I learned how to bake bread (using my crockpot, but that was my own twist), and I have a little cart full of things that saved me back then, just in case I need them again. She gives you the tools to feed yourself, for very little money, and that’s a fabulous feeling. 

Tip: Whenever you have a little extra money, buy a 10 dollar/pound/euro giftcard from your discount grocer. Stash it. That’s your super emergency money. Make sure they don’t charge by the month for lack of use, though.

I don’t care if it sounds like an advertisement–you won’t be buying anything from the site. What I DO care about is your mental, emotional, and physical health–and dammit, food’s right in the center of that. 

If you don’t need this now, pass it on to someone who does. Pass it on anyway, because do you REALLY know which of the people in your life is in need? Which follower might be staring at their own piggy bank? Trust me: someone out there needs to see this.

the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you

[revcleo]

This is called a "superloo" and terfs are actively trying to steal this from you, in the UK they changed bathroom regulations to mean new buildings have to prioritise gendered toilets rather than build superloos.

This also upset a lot of architects and designers who like the superloos. They're also typically more like small rooms rather than having doors you can look under.

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

[sylestial]

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

[scallioncreamcheesebagel]

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

[tayefeth]

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

[antique-scarecrow]

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

[downtroddendeity]

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

[antiterfbutch]

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
