Yes, but Minecraft was on sale for a year before it ever went into “Beta,” back before it was in Alpha even. In fact, it wasn’t until one of the last Alpha updates that the earliest semblance of “Minecraft” as we know it really began to appear. The Beta updates added a lot of core features we take for granted in the game, like beds for sleeping, tall grass for seeds, redstone repeaters, pistons, sprinting, hunger, etc.

So does this mean no Asus ROG Phone again either?

No in this case it’s called the hug of death.

Still standing as one of the best launchers available!

Watch the end result be you can’t find random chests in Minecraft dungeons or Terraria caves cause it falls under the category of “lootbox” in games…

(May seem hyperbolic, but we are talking about 70 year old boomers trying to make regulations for video games. I’m not sure I have the most positive view of the potential outcome)

I hope this wasn’t used as an excuse to disqualify the game so they wouldn’t have to give it an award… Cause if it turns out it was, that would look really bad…

As does Proton VPN.

Ok, this is freaking awesome actually!

Lol, this both shows how bad most models are… But also how damn good the two big OSS models are, DeepSeek and Kimi.

As someone who had to learn Java for a CompSci class in college, I respectfully request you censor all Java code from this point forwards… We shouldn’t have to see such disgusting filth on the open internet!

Brave Search also returns results for it just fine as well. Which makes sense given they run with their own indexing now (with fallbacks to Google and Bing only when requested).

Nooo! D:

Helix is bae, the best of both worlds, of both Emacs and Vim.

Huh? That ain’t what I meant at all… I’m sticking with Pixel for my next upgrade, there’s not much that could make me change my mind. If for some reason Pixel died next year, I’d probably switch to OnePlus (if I can find a good ROM for it that’s as good as CalyxOS), but I can’t say I’d be happy about it.

Uhh, yeah no… A phone with a processor that’s equivalent to something from like 4 generations ago isn’t gonna cut it. Even then, that processor would be less powerful than the Tensor G1 in my Pixel 6 Pro. If you’re concerned about data sharing, just get a Pixel and put CalyxOS or GrapheneOS on it. More secure anyways, and you still get much better hardware along with it.

Yeah… My Pixel 6 Pro is the best phone I’ve ever had, and I don’t even intended to upgrade until the Pixel 11 at least. So, you’re just wrong.

Honestly, people are mostly* blaming the victim here. I used to adore playing Geoguessr years ago, but that came to an end when a subscription was needed to play it. That came about because Google started charging exorbitant prices for the Google Maps and Streetview API.

*Yeah, the other issues like lacking features and not using the subscription from the website are dumb, and shouldn’t have been a thing for the Steam release. But the core issue of the subscription? The fault for that lies squarely with Google…

Yeah, if you don’t mind it possibly taking a week to download something… Really like the idea, but in practice it’s very slow for something like that, unless you got a lot of seeders for something maybe.

This is why we need 3, 4, or even 5 monitors at a time.

Forever young…
