mastodon 🤣 The platform where your DMs are not DMs but public messages that any admins of a "server" can see.

there. fixed.

Ah ok lol

wary willow
#

so. any person you tag in a DM gets to see your DM and also server admins get to see it

magic summit

I mean... makes sense

Otherwise targeted harassment and alike are easy

F.e.
Me -> User: "@BlitzOffline#0531 is such a loser lol"

Now imagine you wouldn't receive the message

DM - Direct Messages

wary willow
#

my issue is more with the fact that the server admins in which you sent the message can see any private messages.

magic summit
#

DMs shouldn't allow people to talk about others without them knowing.

boreal escarp
#

ok snowflake

wary willow
#

lol

magic summit
#

......so admins shouldn't moderate messages? Got it

wary willow
#

they shouldn't moderate private messages

#

not messages

boreal escarp
#

"moderate" and "see private messages" are two different things

wary willow
#

and this as well

blazing oar
#

a bit late to the party but this ^^ Facebook is a perfect example

magic summit
wary willow
#

well no. server owners that enable the social spy without letting people know should be

blazing oar
#

Also, isn't analyse a data tracking business? troll

magic summit
#

If someone shares illegal stuff through DMs are the admins of the instance at fault here

boreal escarp
magic summit
#

DMs are not a guaranteed freedom of privacy or speech

blazing oar
#

unsure if the subject is still data but though it was?

magic summit
#

I bet facebook can read your DMs.... or twitter.

blazing oar
#

that was mainly "answering" the whole "data is worthless" thing

wary willow
blazing oar
#

should it though?

wary willow
magic summit
#

As if people read it

#

And instances usually also have a privacy policy

#

To my knowledge

boreal escarp
#

privacy: none

wary willow
#

just because they have it, it doesn't mean they say it.

blazing oar

See blitz

they actually do tell you they check your messages

but no one cares

Facebook:
`- Messages you send and receive, including their content, subject to applicable law

  • Metadata about content and messages`
#

and several others

#

but they do track messages you send using messenger

that does not sound worth

blazing oar
#

they even track messages you send while in "vanished" mode

they just don't store them forever

they store it for a "short" time

#

@blazing oar I am very confused. Are you arguing with me here or what? Because I literally said exactly what you did.

blazing oar
#

if that makes sense

wary willow
#

it does. just the way you did, made it sound like we were arguing instead 🤣

blazing oar

😂

wary willow
blazing oar
#

in my not defense, I am well known for having issues expressing myself

wary willow
#

it's alright. we all do

blazing oar
#

lol

#

if I recall correctly, the EU has some laws about data privacy, so I suppose the ones suffering more from this is mainly USA, etc hehe

wary willow
#

yeah. the thing is, companies, at least in a perfect world, can be held responsible for their actions. random internet users, not so much.

blazing oar
#

ye

#

unless they could?

#

maybe in the near future

#

since the world is moving to the digital world

wary willow
#

yeah. it's not like any company cares abut eu data privacy laws tho. didn't google just get fined a lot of money for not respecting those? Or was it microsoft? I don't even remember

blazing oar
#

microsoft

#

but ye

wary willow
#

for them it's probably more profitable to not respect the rules and pay the fines

blazing oar
#

the thing is, there are talks about changing those laws

#

they wouldn't be fined anymore

#

they would be blocked in the EU

#

for usage

wary willow
#

hmm

blazing oar
#

but those are just rumors

#

it's quite a "big" deal

#

Just like they forced apple switching to usb-c

#

😂

#

and somehow worked

#

it's a good idea, but badly executed since there are several "types" of usb-c lol

wary willow
#

did it tho? we haven't seen a new iphone with usb c yet.

blazing oar
#

but I guess it's a step in the right way

wary willow
#

I haven't looked into it too much but I've heard there's certain loopholes that apple might use. at least for the iphone

blazing oar
#

lightning has proven to be quite good

from several studies

blazing oar
fallow crow
#

the technology behind lightning is incredibly expensive and complex only for safety reasons because the deadass who designed that shit made the contacts be out in the open for literally no reason

sullen sorrel
#

lightning may be good but USB C is superior

#

😌

frank pasture
#

Yeah data is much faster over USB C than lightning

#

its why so many who record on their iphone want it (esp on youtube) for that

fallow crow
#

the thing with USB C is that it's full of asterisks

#

like it has a shit ton of extremely cool features but a lot of them are not required to comply with the specification

sullen sorrel
#

what features?

#

I thought usb was just data and power transfer

fallow crow
#

well you surely don't need 24 pins for "just data and power"

blazing oar

ye

#

I mean

#

for fast data

ye

fallow crow
#

yeah but not all of them are required to work for it to be functional

sullen sorrel

oh wait its a USB

so it supports like video and audio

Hey @versed radish

I've had a look through your server store (the one you have linked in your bio) and I'm getting a littttleee bit concerned that your server is heavily pay 2 win. You are offering in game kits and perks aswell as selling unbans/unmutes for very high prices.

Some of your "Bundles" are priced down ridiculously (from 266$ to 60$) to also get more cash.

Could you explain this?

#

I understand you have to pay for servers and stuff, but then again I don't think pebblehost is that expensive 😉

versed radish
#

Thanks for your concern our store isn’t actually setup, we are still awaiting a lot of things as you can see by clicking on a package we have listed example a rank or a bundle, it doesn’t list the contents. Moving on we don’t use pebblehost we use a Dedicated Server to run.

pseudo sigil
#

So what are you gonna remove from the store?

#

Your webserver is hosted with pebblehost, hence why I made the assumption

versed radish
#

I’m not sure why anything is linked to pebblehost we are currently using SoYouStart

FAQ Answer:

Programming videos can be split roughly into two broad categories :

  • those that aim at teaching a language, usually from scratch for people with no background
  • those that aim to showcase a situation, a library or a framework (these are OK)

Video materials for learning a language, especially the multi hours ones, tends to have really low added value. Here's why:

  • Firstly, the format is basically a lecture. This works in classes because you can ask the teacher direct questions. This not always possible or easy with video tutorials. This means that you are left to yourself the same way you would have been with a text tutorial

  • Secondly, it is really helpful to be able to revisit a previous section of the material. This is really difficult with videos. Usually by the time the timecode has been found (especially in a 6h long video) the question / reason to check back went stale or maybe completely forgotten.
    Also to re-watch that portion you will have constantly do small jumps back in the timeline. On the other hand, with a text tutorial you can easily backtrack on a piece of text and read it as many times you find it useful

  • Thirdly, it is also useful to be able to have two different sections open at the same time (because the latter refers to a previous notion for instance). This is downright impossible to do comfortably with videos. With a text based tutorial you can just open two tabs side by side and compare by reading

  • Lastly, watching videos is a passive activity by nature. Classes tend to not to be by having direct questions to students or with lab times later on. Videos kinda have the second one, sometimes, but the first one is near impossible. Reading is a lot more active

On a final note, it will greatly depend on the video maker but it's a lot easier to copy and tinker with the code from a text tutorial than a video

#

okay london is a completely different direction and far busier

sullen sorrel
#

a bit pricey indeed

light scaffold
#

as i said

#

they should be paying me

mellow zinc
#

london is further

#

by like

#

30 miles

light scaffold
#

okay and

#

distance isnt everything

mellow zinc
#

no one lives in bristol

light scaffold

light scaffold
sullen sorrel
#

oh

light scaffold
#

well theres an existing line

#

to the north

#

idk

#

im coping a bit

sullen sorrel
#

why is it very expensive

#

🥲

light scaffold
#

because it's very fast

sullen sorrel
#

oh I see

light scaffold
#

and also they have had to buy a lot of land to actually build it

light scaffold
#

£0 trip to london

light scaffold
#

infinite money glitch

sullen sorrel
#

I always think as pounds as being similar to usd
but now 45 pounds = $54

#

what happened

light scaffold
#

that's still fairly similar

sullen sorrel
#

true but above I typed $ since I thought it was liek the same

#

🥲

#

i dont have pound key

light scaffold
#

and it's been roughly 1:1.3 for ages

sullen sorrel
#

oh

#

then im just

#

ok

light scaffold
#

u get used to seeing ur paypal invoice money disappear after a while

#

it's very sad

#

i know that's not how money works but

sullen sorrel
#

wait for paypal fees
does it apply from sender or receiver

light scaffold
#

idk

sullen sorrel
#

the country

light scaffold
#

yeah i do

#

receiver

#

i think

sullen sorrel
#

since there's different country fees

#

oh

light scaffold
#

might depend on f&f vs goods and services

sullen sorrel
#

goods and services

light scaffold
#

idk

#

i think it's receiver

sullen sorrel
#

ty

#

nice to know

light scaffold
#

no it's not

#

but yw

sullen sorrel
mellow zinc
#

😭 😭 😭

sullen sorrel
#

Oof

light scaffold
mellow zinc
#

nope

#

2036 minimum 🥴

light scaffold
#

😵‍💫

#

£1 trillion cost

mellow zinc
#

just a little over budget

#

not likes its not already

light scaffold
#

yeah just a little

#

just 1 more budget extension just 1 more budget extension just 1 more budget extension just 1 more budget extension

mellow zinc
#

is anywhere in the south getting hs2 anyway

light scaffold
#

no lol

#

it's just london to somewhere north

#

although south to london isnt bad anyway

mellow zinc
#

i think manchester is as north as it goes

#

or maybe leeds

light scaffold
#

lmao

#

kinda a shame because it is a cool idea

#

now we need hs3 from bristol to london

#

that would go hard

mellow zinc
#

sorry no one lives in bristol

#

waste of money

light scaffold
#

it could connect to cardiff too

#

and bath

#

it would be a waste of money but ur still wrong

mellow zinc
#

east to west would be kinda cool i suppose

#

but do u really want a line going into 🤢 wales 🤢

light scaffold
#

well not really but it would be necessary to justify it

#

it would be cool but still a waste of money bc it's not a very common route

#

whereas i think the justification for hs2 is that it would enable millions more commuters or whatever

#

✨ economic growth ✨

mellow zinc
#

ye

#

id be able to get into london within an hour i think

#

or close to it

light scaffold
#

yeah which is pretty good

mellow zinc
#

when sometimes it could an hour just to get out of birmingham city centre in traffic

light scaffold
#

dunno if it's worth 100 billion but

#

cool nonetheless

#

although really we should be asking if the people of the north actually deserve the right to travel

mellow zinc
#

norf

light scaffold
#

"people"

mellow zinc
#

i dont think im in a position to talk coming from bham

#

could be beneficial for scotland too

#

could probably see more than half the travel time

light scaffold
#

yeah would be very useful

mellow zinc
light scaffold
#

i wonder if it wouldve been more well received if it went to edinburgh or glasgow

mellow zinc
#

id certainly like it to either

#

never been to scotland

light scaffold
#

neither

#

well once when i was like 2 but that doesnt count

#

seems nice

when is the biggest steam sale? Like winter?

sullen sorrel
#

how many forks are there going to be

#

💀

#

I think this one might be the best
only going from the README
since it has stuff from purpur and pufferfish

#

the two most (?) performant forks afaik

strange estuary
#

Would anyone know how I can let my bows do the pull animation without an arrow?

sullen sorrel
#

isn't that client side?

strange estuary
#

Not sure.. my only solution atm is to give the player an invisible arrow in their offhand (which players cant access in my server) when they hold the item I'm working with

#

It would work, but overall is kind of clunky

# crystal lava Nice

You can also do stuff like this, which isn't technically an equation but basically you input two points, set a max height, and then it calculates the velocity to set the block to

So they can be chained, reversed, looped, etc

I'm not 100% sure what it would be used for, but it looks cool lol

crystal lava
#

This does have a lot of potential

#

I have also been wanting to do things with animations

#

But gaming has taken over my schedule

Plus school

lofty harbor
naive agate
#

@lofty harbor you making a server or something?

lofty harbor
#

Nah, some of the plugin I’m going to be using for a server I do some work for but I’m going to release this plugin

full atlas
#

Oh didn't watch it long enough lol

lofty harbor
#

Lol

naive agate
#

@lofty harbor ah interesting thoughts on making a horror game?

#

in MC

lofty harbor
#

Wdym? Like a plugin for it?

naive agate
#

always wanted to make one well a plugin like yours can be used for it like jump scares and such

lofty harbor
#

Oh yeah true you could use it for that

#

I plan to add triggers like stepping on pressure plates, entering regions, and other stuff

#

So yeah you could definitely make a horror type thing if you wanted

naive agate
#

@lofty harbor I may be interested 🙂 maybe my next project

lofty harbor
#

Sounds cool

naive agate
#

a horror game in MC never really seen one

lofty harbor
#

Yeah me neither

#

Although I would be too scared lol

naive agate
#

a community contributed server?

#

would be cool

lofty harbor
naive agate
#

ye

crystal lava
#

Hey I already have an idea for a horror game in mc

#

But with mods

lofty harbor
#

That would be cool

naive agate
#

mods eh I dont wanna require mods

#

vanilla would be sick

crystal lava
#

I have found the wonders of modding

lofty harbor
#

You could probably combine it with resource pack stuff too

naive agate
#

ya 1000%

crystal lava
#

And how you can make mc a whole new game

naive agate
#

this is what @wispy otter and others come into play 🙂

naive agate
crystal lava
#

I had plans to remake phasmophobia in mc

full atlas
#

I think an open world horror game might be better. Since it is minecraft lol

naive agate
naive agate
#

can be a fun thing to do with helpchat community

crystal lava
#

I mean

#

I'm also working on a space mod

full atlas
naive agate
#

I just wonder how performance is with @lofty harbor plugin

crystal lava
#

It's gotta be pain

lofty harbor
#

It’s all client side so it shouldn’t be that bad

#

At least not for the server

naive agate
#

interesting

#

how many players?

lofty harbor
#

And as long as you don’t over due it with the animations

naive agate
#

and whats the usuage

lofty harbor
#

You can send animations per player

naive agate
#

well animations would be the main thing

lofty harbor
#

I’m also planning on making stuff rideable too

#

Like that chair

naive agate
#

ooo

lofty harbor
#

Or like being a spectator in it

full atlas
#

Well packets are all (should all) aysnc so shouldn't be to bad.

lofty harbor
#

Yeah

naive agate
#

yaa

lofty harbor
#

The only thing that can get bad is if you sent a ton of animations to a player at once

#

And even then it should just be an fps issue, so there could be a setting for players to disable “extra” animations

naive agate
#

well an open world wouldnt work then if we do that

naive agate
#

the amount of animations would be a crazy amount

#

per user

lofty harbor
#

You can send the same animation to players if that’s what you mean

naive agate
#

I wanna have multiple animations go at once

lofty harbor
#

Or choose a range, like you have to be within x blocks to see it

naive agate
#

o true

lofty harbor
naive agate
#

example the door thing you did tpack with actual doors closing or something and something jumping at you?

#

id shit myself making this

lofty harbor
#

Lol

#

Yeah you could do that

#

Let's take fish's animation system and make compatible with models

oh god

Im down to start something if we can round people up may be down to put money in

but that's only for like a trillion animations

joining?

sullen sorrel
#

If it's within the next like quarter of a year then I probably wouldn't be able to contribute much

naive agate
#

I mean it wont be only you

sullen sorrel
#

I've got stuff going back from summer break that I'm still working on 🥲

naive agate
#

it will be a good chunk

sullen sorrel

anytime soon

#

I must leave all the fun to you guys

#

naive agate
#

you can put time tyty

sullen sorrel
#

you know

#

imagine if humans didn't have to sleep

#

we would have like a 2x longer "lifespan"

lofty harbor
#

That would be so nice

sullen sorrel
#

and then I could contribute

#

win-win

#

I haven't worked in a team before though

#

so I don't know what it's like to not follow my own conventions and styles 🥲

crystal lava
#

@naive agate I'm in too

sullen sorrel
#

is this just a public github repo

crystal lava
#

Although I have been more into modding lately

naive agate
#

Haha 😂

sullen sorrel
#

that anyone can contribute

naive agate
sullen sorrel
#

oh it's just an idea rn

#

steals idea

#

/s

lofty harbor
#

I’m basically willing to give it free for people who have a good reason and/or can’t afford it

sullen sorrel
#

paid and OS

#

interesting

naive agate
#

Ya for sure

lofty harbor
sullen sorrel
#

wow motf prioritizing open source over $

#

respect

#

📈

lofty harbor
#

All my public plugins are OS lol

#

Plus OS doesn’t necessarily mean less money

#

And I doubt I’ll make much either way lol

sullen sorrel
#

usually does especially for small projects
if people are willing to download cracked plugins then they'll easily be able to compile it

sullen sorrel
#

you just gotta keep updating it

#

to keep it up at the top of the page

#

🥲

#

|| intentionally making it break on new versions to give a reason to update ||

lofty harbor
#

True that’s the best strategy

sullen sorrel
# lofty harbor Eh they wouldn’t have bought it anyways

servers with owners smart enough to be able to create animations like that probably know not to download cracked and would know that they can ask someone to compile the plugin for them

I'm not a server owner so I'm not speaking from experience

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

open source

#

😌

#

reminds me of citizens

#

bunch of people paying for the plugin since they don't read the description

#

(and a bunch of people paying for donation 😌 but tbh that only happens commonly with large plugins)

lofty harbor
#

I mean I don’t get paid but whatever lol

sullen sorrel
#

well

#

actually nvm

#

like i meant verify for support

#

sorta like helpchat
