vim ❤️
code foo has replaced vim foo whenever it's some source code I want to explore instead of a config file where I know what I want to change
Yeah I’ve been considering switching to something simpler such as atom instead of vsc
VSC ends up being the most lightweight alternative while still providing me an interface so i use it for everything
miscellaneous files are edited with Notepad++ tho
I use vscode as a notebook for writing philosophical texts... and some projects goals, plans etc.
This one time, I loaded a file with atom
I got bored of waiting, fired up a terminal, cd'd to the folder manually
opened the file with vim
made my save
started a build
then atom loaded the project
jeez
I imagine cat is someone who uses relative line numbers as well 😉
oh yeah Atom is a hog
nah, I mean
I couldn't even get plugins to work in vim
It's just a bit nicer than nano to work with, and, well, not emacs
vim looks like a nightmare
emacs, lol
emacs is a really great desktop environment in need of a better text editor
I actually found out about micro not so long ago and I quite like it
I saw a video of a lecturer and he programmed in Vim, with relative file numbers, line and column percentages and occasionally he'd type some combination of malbolge and regex to jump to a line a couple lines below. I've never been the same person since.
lol
I mean, I try to adopt some of the tricks but, I mean, it feels like unless you're using that tool 24/7, it just doesn't stick
Like,last "massive productivety" boost I had from a simple tweak in an IDE was disabling tabs in my IDE
i mean
i mean, your moms a hoe

If you voluntarily do all your programming in Vim, good for you, but please keep a distance of at least an entire neighborhood from me.
so what do you mean
I am thinking of trying vim, because I already use many "powers" of standard typing, such as arrows, ins, del, home, end, page up, page down and many hot keys in intellij...
theres many things that I LOVE about vim
e.g. find & replace using standard sed syntax
But, I mean, remembering all the things is a headache
y'all use keyboard shortcuts?
besides very obvious ones like Ctrl-Z/Y for undo/redo and Ctrl-S for saving, i still use my mouse for everything in VSC
and then theres many plugins which look really interesting but I mean, uuuurgh
when I remember them? yes
I mean I've got an interface, might as well make full use of it
i use alt+insert a lot ctrl+shift+l mostly
There are often IDE plugins which can shout at you for using the mouse, I have one on IJ which shouts at me often
I use the most important shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Insert for creating a new scratch file /s
IJ does have some critical plugins that you need for it to be a useful environment, however
nyan progress bars, for one
its bad to use the mouse?
It's a context switch
your mouse is a slower interface than your keyboard
and then you've got the fact that you've gotta reposition your hands to switch between them
But Ctrl+K and Ctrl+Shift+K for committing and subsequent pushing are ones I use frequently. Also Ctrl+Shift+A for finding where something is.
doing that switch, especially often, is a productivety hit
true
I also noticed that I rarely use mouse recently, my hands prob learned some combinations of arrows with home and end or idk...
Like, I say about disabling tabs somewhat often in this convos, but, like, doing that made me switch to using recents/find more often, which is much faster
tis my typical IDE view, outside of the terminal being larger than usual
Terminal and gradle view are disabled by default for me
Why is the project structure so big
what’s the weird aspect ratio
^^
the correct ide layout
gradle view is the best thing humanity ever made, It always enabled for me...
i compile so often i leave it open
Clearly the best view is the Maven view
runs
just don’t write errors 😎
nah
meh i use maven it’s pretty standard tho
xml gang
Maven is good enough
why settle for good enough
I'd rather say the usecase for Gradle is when Maven is not enough
why bother learning something new
xml is a pain in the ass to read
The longer I have been programming, the longer each change seems to take, so I find myself compiling less and less often.
well yeah the longer you've been programming generally the larger projects you end up working on
and Kotlin is not? 
especially if paperweight is in your toolchain
jokes aside, i don't mind the XML
I test often using gradle panel
and it's simpler
i can read kotlin super quickly and easily i never understood people who can't read it
only issue with xml i have is verbosity but IDE takes care of that so its whatever
- every Gradle project out there that I want to compile wants to spawn a 4GB process like I have that much memory available
gradle does look simpler
and there i go, --no-daemon go brrrr
XML is ugly
wut
I personally find XML to be a very nice format.
it gens like 5 files and some folders
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
just a pom is nice
A gift 🙃
but what an ugly pom
look in the mirror
i know that's a legit domain but i dont trust it
this looks very sus
fair enough that's a valid reason
moderators anyway should check it
it does if I tinker around and change org.gradle.jvmargs flags and stuff like that
im scared to click ok 
but if i have to do that for every Gradle project then I'd rather not use it for my own
it was bought for me but it requires a debit card soo i decided to drop it here 😄
it's discord.com how bad can it be lol
if i get my account hijacked you're getting it back
That's exactly why you should be scared 😄
it literallymade me login and create a new account??
thanks discord
very nice promotion
Did it work
sounds like fishing website
fork Maven and make it use HOCON instead 
very weird
okay, spam random paswords and logins then
very sus
that actually looks nice
I might use it in some project

btw, what do you think about Bazel build system?
Way too much process for 99% of things
It can get you the fastest possible builds by caching aggressively but only if you tell it every single input and output from every step of your build process
meson or gradle can get you most of the way there with 10% of the effort
it's actually a pog format, it's this middle-term between JSON and YAML, and the Configurate library recognizes comments and lets you programmatically set them
Sponge uses it 😛
hocon is basically humanised json
HOCON is what you get when you try to make something that is a superset of properties files and json5 at the same time
lol
It looks healthy
It's really like 2 or 3 different formats in the same parser
I think think you can fully mix and match them, you kind of mode switch iirc
only less good thing is that I don't see many projects using HOCON, and those that I see are Sponge plugins basically
but that's not a format problem
It's a scala thing
well, hocon is still kinda new in the scheme of things
I say that as more of a... "might not find many libraries for it" problem (Configurate is awesome if you use Java but that's not the only language in the world)
"new"
If paperweight existed for bazel I'd probably transfered my plugin monorepo to it... It grows with the speed of light
afaik the only implementation is still the scala version written in like 2013
Well, I mean, in terms of ecosystem growth, not like, first creation
I like toml format, it looks nice...
yaml goes back towards 2001
same for json
I mean, I dislike toml
e.g. it doesn't really have proper "nesting"
Like, the way it handles that just looks like a hack
Can someone explain me, what is "mbaxter's-cat-carrier" voice channel?
HOCON is love. Though I do feel compelled to edit lightbend/config in my projects to require it quoting when serializing configs to avoid confusion since it'll default not quote [a-zA-Z0-9]+ strings which then leads to confusion when the user tries to input something with additional characters.
Allow me to demonstrate. :3
Shouldn't mbaxter's cat be in there then? 
Yeah, that's weird
No, track where the apostrophe's are.
do you mean apostrophes 😛
is that "mbaxter's-(cat-carrier)" or "(mbaxter's-cat)-carrier"
Sorry for my grammar, I have problems with it, doesn't apostrophe after words means "is" and if a sentence in a "past/present/future perfect" tense it means "has"?
if the latter it would be better clarified as mbaxter's cat's carrier, which it isn't.
ah makes sense
is "cat carrier" "bag you put cat in"
it's generally to indicate possession iirc
apostrophe is also a marker of possession. So "Denery's banana" would be described by you as "my banana"
ie this case means the cat carrier belongs to mbaxter
unfortunately the cat carrier does not seem to have a cat in it
My brain goes kaboom
the only conclusion i can come to is mbaxter is a cat
apostrophes are a pain
generally it's to show omission, as in something has been left out
it it's == it is
the space-i has been omitted
humans don't belong (or fit) in cat carriers though
Says you.
If its after a noun (not a pronoun iirc) and it is a "'s" it's to show possession
if its after a pronoun it's generally (pronoun) is because there are other pronouns to show possession
He's safe and warm in his cat carrier
🥺
Is his fursona cat? bad joke.
no
leaf is the furry here
only furry here is @static badge
I will confirm that I am not a furry.
is the carrier a cat
It is a philosophical question
not a fucking furry you australian criminal

I have no cat and I must pet.
🥺
😩
lol, in Elden Ring each point of vigor gives you more HP than the last one did until you get to 40 points
Not sure if you even hit actual diminishing returns there or if it just goes flat
Since I been doing so much programming recently I been typing ; at the end of all my math homework notes lol
ive been doing so much programming that i dont do that

Btw, did the Spigot PR to remove the Material Enum go anywhere? Kinda hoped to see that one but it seems stale
It’s still in magic spigot pr limbo
Hopefully we will see it go through a major release
If Spigot won't do it, is there any Chance Paper will adopt it?
after a hard fork I would hope, otherwise this will create a bit of a mess
Are there currently plans when or if that will happen?
Analytics plugin to show economical situation on the server live.

Buy the dip!
Half of Minecraft population can’t even read so I doubt that’s useful but cool 
Buy high sell low
It helps with players feeling they have a saying in the economy, one of the biggest aspects I've learned the hard way is that people (especially on smaller servers sub 200 players) look for the community and familiarity aspect
To build those you need to make them feel part of the family, so transparency even in the sense of economics helps (Although they probabbly won't read it or understand it).
Plus it helps me deal with balancing the eco
Curious what are you using to generate the graphs
and putting em on maps
I assumed you were using some redstone cpu to run excel 97
I run a multi-server setup w/waterfall. I've become highly frustrated with a lot of the ... less quality plugins 😄 out there, so I'm thinking of creating a databus w/ZeroMQ, standardized data structures (protobuf) and a backend in elixir/erlang (same thing Discord uses). I just can't handle the pain of Java anymore. I'll likely make a split in the listener w/java, where some events (less frequent ones) are sent over the bus, and others still remain in java. Anyway, curious if anybody is interested in such a beast.
The primary goal is to create a good data architecture w/relations, and handle high-scale multi-concurrency between servers (much easier to do in elixir/erlang; this is why it's what discord uses).
I'm well versed in elixir/erlang, less so w/Java.
ngl doesn't really sound like something many will be interested in
since the majority that needs something like that will just create their own proprietary version
nothing that prevents you from opensourcing it though
Erlang vm uses too much dedicated wam that can be used to make my Minecraft server run faster sorry
Are there currently any plans when or if a hard fork will happen?
dedicated wam?
I think there’s an if but no when
Old meme
I'm thinking only certain things would move to the bus — mostly data things. Not every event. Many of the high frequency things need to stay in the JVM for performance reasons. But it'll help solve a ton of the concurrency problems I see plagued in all the other plugins doing cross-server
I also like the idea of standardizing some data structs around certain data types, and building a real relational structure -- it's frightening what most the db plugins do for SQL tables.
But it'll help solve a ton of the concurrency problems I see plagued in all the other plugins doing cross-server
what issues
i mean most people seem to just use Redis and implement some distributed locking system
solves a lot of issues already
Yes that is a similar solution :). But redis has a single spin-lock, and isn't actually very concurrent
it works™️
🤷♂️ I also like Elixir :D. It's much easier to work with.
nothing prevents you from moving certain things into your elixir backend
if you want to use elixir / erlang then go for it
If i'm going to rewrite stuff I'd rather just go to elixir/erlang, than hack in some thing with redis.
and Java... I'd chew my arm off to avoid having to keep coding stuff in it. it's just so ... anyway. I consider Java like the modern Cobol.
have you heard of our lord and saviour kotlin
yeah, but it's still similar. And mostly for mobile.
it's not mostly for mobile
hell you can write native desktop apps with kotlin/native or build websites with kotlin/js
plenty of people write their minecraft stuff in kotlin aswell
I want to get away from the JVM in general. It's been my bane for ~25 years.
There are just better things out there imho.
opinions of course
i mean either you write your stuff in a jvm language like everyone else or you do your elixir thing and end up having to maintain a giant hack in the end where you're still going to be having to write stuff in a jvm language aswell
😄
Since I'm doing this for the fun of it, i'd rather not have to deal with needles under my fingernails by coding in Java
okay but you're going to be coding a big part in java just to get your elixir thing working
but not all the game logic and NPCs I want to make. I already have ML in elixir. and with the new fn project stuff it rocks on performance even over python.
literally every language on the planet beats python when you talk about performance
that's not special
but not all the game logic and NPCs I want to make.
you're still going to need to write a good portion in java for that though lol
you'd literally just be writing the minecraft stuff in a jvm language but maintaining an API that's usable in elixir
Lolw
Not quite :). But whatev. Just thought I'd float it out there to see if anybody was interested in some standardization around a database and data structs.
I'm not going to argue languages. Opinions on languages are always just that.
🥺
re: vanced discussion from yesterday https://i.redd.it/5nym7n5vhbn81.jpg if this is true thats so funny / fucked lol
anyone got a good drop in worldgen plugin? seen a few but they all have intimidating configs. i just wanna drop something in, like terralith, and go
or a way to make worldgen datapacks play nice... that would work too
I've heard of one, supposed to be really good. I think it was called terralith
😄
Plugins can't do what terralith does
got any ideas on making that work with paper?
Yea it works
Make your own seed there
Either everyone is copying from the same fake post or this was legit
Apparently they had a repo called VancedStore too?
Many people made the mistake of getting the version from planet and it has the same seed for everyone downloading from there 
when people say stuff like "shoot us an email at [email]" what are you supposed to email them
a bullet, since they want you to shoot them
what's the context
Just wanted to share that I randomly found this nice commit amount on my profile
Edit: Yeah, not commits, contributions, but 99% of my contributions are commits
@gleaming briar 
hello?
what is happening ??
Damn fam a Nka just wanna read on a budget $600 for some books that dont even sound right
Here I'll crack the code to being a millionaire for you: write a book about how to become a millionaire and be a sociopath so you can convince everyone they should listen to you
Are you a millionaire
Im tryna practice FIRe fam
My goal is to retire at 50, more realistically I'm more or less on track for 55 and definitely on track for 60
How old are you
How do I win friends and influence people
It seems like your good at that amaranthus
I actually have anxiety problems so... 😛
The internet doesn't matter though so it's not as big of a problem, unless I start really thinking about it
Yeah I do too
I be downing lexapro for my anxiety
My understanding of being personable is basically empathy and listening skills
How much adderall do you take before it's considered abuse
I was prescribed lexapro but I also had adderall before and it helped wit my anxiety
Anxiety can be a side effect of untreated ADHD
Although if so you usually require some kind of counselling to go along with the adderall to fully deal with that since you're basically socially/emotionally stunted
The root cause of mine is almost certainly the ADHD since vyvanse or adderall helps more than the prozac or wellbutrin ever did although it doesn't do anything for the sudden spikes of anxiety while those at least smooth them out
They basically put a damper on all my emotions though so I hate them
I'd rather have the adderall and some emergency use xanax
Instead I take none of those because my doctor was a jerk, instead I just take some nootropics and deal with it the same way I did the first 30 years of my life
I only ever took them when having a panic attack
Well, a couple times I took one when I was sure a panic attack was coming, then I was out of the 3 pills I got when I had a 6 hour long panic attack
damn
After like 2 or 3 hours it was mostly just physical, I was numb to it (and sometimes numb to the physical parts too (along with the rest of my body, whee))
ER forgot I was there, I was around the corner from the reception desk in the waiting room
I figured they just decided I wasn't important so it wasn't until the room was almost empty I went to go see what was up
You can't
Well, in theory you could do it with a server plugin and a discord bot or similar
That would have a bit of latency on the positions and would only be proximity, not positional
Like, I don't think discord can make it sound like someone is walking up behind you, only control whether or not you can hear them at all
There’s a plug-in for that but it’s not “proximity chat” like you’re probably thinking of
It wasn’t great
It's a bot that makes a bunch of discord voice chats on the fly and moves people around them automatically as they get in range of each other
Presumably that means you could chain people together to talk over longer distances too since each pair in the chain would have to be in the same channel as the next pair and so on otherwise you'd have two people close enough to hear each other but unable to do so
i found a mod that i havent got around to actually using yet but it's https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/simple-voice-chat
i know it's not mod-free but still
wait actually
i have the exact answer for this
@void void try openaudiomc, it uses a webpage for the proximity chat
You need to disable authentication in server.properties (online-mode: false)
However you are vulnerable to attacks then
They will join, but with Steve/Alex skin
And they will have different UUID assigned
Ok
That is not a problem, but they will no longer see their skins, they will lose progress because of UUID change and you are vulnerable to more attacks
This isn't the place to discuss piracy
Buy the game or don't play the game, as easy as that r
u guys updated to 1.18.2?
So I don't play games
bulgarian servers are yet to upgrade
i have not see any bulgarian server on 1.18.2
they all either 1.8 or 1.18.1
but why
because they stupid /shrug
ehhh they not imo because share of 1.8 servers dropping every day
only 12k servers, that nothing compare modern versions
No 1.12.2 servers? Surprisingly
there are
Look closer, lol
Oh, I missed them, they are 7.3%
there no 1.8 paper servers?
Why java 17 and java 18 are the same color? (As I know java 18 hasn't released yet)
nice inspect element
that whole chart looks different for me
Paper is good
huh i wouldn't imagine Java 17 with such wide adoption already
YEAH
thought Java 11 would be bigger
its about 85% for one of my plugins
given most users are on 1.17/1.18
and its gonna be at least around 40% at this point since about that many servers run 1.18 globally
well I mean, Java 17 is required for 1.18
ya
and most users upgrade to latest anyways
a lot of hosts too
this is how the chart looks for me
makes much more sense lmao
not the biggest but yeah
Good.
wow. now we know mini does have super secret access to java 20
Hmmm... could it be firefox nightly bug?..
We need to find these four server with 50+ legacy plugins...
what do I need to do to get access to kitties channel
provide cute kitties
i cant provide kitties if i have no perms to provide kitties.
well you can always provide kitties here first
fine.
perhaps, works fine on Stable
this is a kitten. she is adorable. when i'm sleeping or she is sleeping. otherwise...
remembers that plugin I published a few months ago where I didn't add an api-version
haha yes
I apparently decided that I couldn't sleep, so decided to like, drag my ass to the shop, and now I got like, as many hours as I can cope for, to burn off to try and get my sleep schedule back
think I need like a shock collar or something
Bruh... very legacy then
i want a host for a kitpvp server that should have place for 30-50 players where to buy? i want to make simple scripts and add some basic plugins
1.8.9
I suggest you to host an alpha 1.2.6 minecraft server, you know, alpha pvp system is more popular than modern, and also it has better performance than modern versions, you can try popular server software called hmod /s
like wtf
They should stop using an I don't even know how many years old version of the game.
bloom/dedmi/extravm are generally the recommended ones
Paper basically only ever support the latest + last.
Right now only 1.18.2 is supported.
i dont even know how i came in here ?
me neither but i kind of recall your name from somewhere
i just want a explanation of what is "paper"
what will happen if i dont use paper when running a server
Bloody Mary will appear from your bathroom mirror
be for real please..
i just want to run a 1.8.8-1.8.9 kitpvp and i bought a host but idk how to change the version
nothing, we just won't give you any support if you don't use Paper
not the latest version of Paper though
bro paper suppots 1.8.8
no.
supports
This is not a hard concept
We provide the 1.8 jars
you are more than welcome to download them and use them
let's rephrase
This server does not provide technical support for 1.8 anymore
idk what paper is
pussys
paper is basically a modification of the vanilla server
I mean, paper is the server software
it does minecraft
if you want gamemodes ontop of that you'd need plugins or something
vanilla refers to an unmodified (original) version of the game
unless you're planning to use command block chains, no, you won't be making kitpvp with it
what do people make kitpvps with?
I don't care
people use 1.8.8 in my country
and most people use 1.8.9
i dont wanna make a UK Server or USA
Please don't brigade people onto supported versions
it does no good and just stirs the pot needlessly
drop your attitude

We don't know what people use for that specific gamemode on that specific version
what is spigot
i don't know what "brigading" is when this person is either completely clueless (nothing that google wouldn't fix) or trolling
something people used 5 years ago
anyways i got stuff to do, cya later
@vernal moth is spigot used for kitpvps? 1.8.8 1.8.9
Don't ping random people
nobody uses spigot
what does 1.8.8 1.8.9 servers use
dark magic
idk why don't you ask people that actually care about 1.8?
idk where to find them
well, maybe they don't exist anymore
they should
they for sure don't exist here
they really should not
lmao
Do you want to laught?
pazzitivchik - Today at 13:04
I have purple
Is it worth putting parina
Or puffer fish
?
kan1kkk - Today at 13:18
why not paper
pazzitivchik - Today at 13:18
Man what paper on vanilla server 1.18.1
kan1kkk - Today at 13:19
why not?
I just also drive to vanilla with friends
pazzitivchik - Today at 13:19
Many vulnerabilities small tps poor setup and a lot of minuses
For 1.18.1 shit
For version 1.12.2 I agree
go
But not 1.18
xDD
genius
mAnY VuLnErAbIlItIeS
also paper's antixray, exploits fixs:
Just watched a teacher at college Google Google and I died inside
whats wrong about googling google?
I still remember our IT "teacher" google why the internet is not working... while we didn't have internet.
my IT teacher watched a video where a 12 year old kid explained bubble sort in the break before trying to explain it to the 15 year old me
thankfully we got a proper teacher later that actually studied comp sci
a sorting algo?
ok, im google it
a pretty trivial one but its the basis for everything else kinda so it would be required to know it as a dev, lol
but first i need to get google's link. lets google it
You mean the best sort algorithm ever created?
Sadly random can be faster than Bubble. So we must use Bubble for consistency.
i like this idea
how long did it last?))
Bogosort >
hi how to download 1.16 ver paper server?
legacy at the bottom
ok
can you help me download legacy because idk how
cool website
Monke sort would be better. (Prob we are talking about the same algorithm where sorting happens randomly)
Quantum bogo sort is obviously the best sorting algorithm, running in potentially constant time.

my response is "there's a stream debugger?"
urg I hate everything about this
that's cloud
the actual license is like $150/yr
it's a php app so yes
no way to selfhost it without the full source code
xenforo is pretty stable / secure
no that's just wordpress
I like xenforo, with a custom theme it looks pretty nice
But PHP 🥲
no way, that's some cool shit
if it works
Jetbrains do be doing some magic shit
anyone know how tf to compile craftbukkit without having it re-obfuscate?
I can see how to remap it to mojang mappings, or fully obfuscated, but not the mappings needed for debugging
do I just comment out the special source thing?
is there a command line to not execute a goal of a phase?
ok, well commenting it out worked
oh ofc spigot doesnt have a command line option to disable watchdog
Why do you want to do these silly things?
I'm trying to fix this issue on paper, and I need to compare stuff to craftbukkit/spigot
Understandable
guess I can set the timeout time to a billion
😳
tebex join Overwolf 😳
Oh, tebex is the way people sell parts of the game these days
they have great pricing compared to competitors
We like overwolf the company, right?
No
no
Why should we?
tfw Mini 
Have you SEEM the launcher
its hard to like the company for that clusterfuck
I thought overwolf was a has been voice chat thing
Do they? Who are their competitors? The only one I know of is craftingstore, and craftingstore has way better pricing
Michael store coming soon
does craftingstore have an integrated payment gateway for like 40 payment methods with full chargeback protection?
and handles paypal through that gateway
tebex lacks in many aspects but checkout is dope
craftingstore has no integrated gateway, but they support several ones (Paypal, mollie, terminal3 etc.), you can even have a custom gateway
Oh, not even voice?
pretty sure they used to have voice
The last I heard of overwolf they were a shitty IM client esports people were getting paid to pretend they used
they recently bought curseforge off twitch
Huh
Overwolf was very well known for providing a TeamSpeak overlay
yes
curse voice used to be pushed for Smite
haha
they gave you an exclusive skin for one of the gods when u linked it or something
but was anyone actually using overwolf for real? It seemed like useless bloat to me
its trash
right but tebex is a one-stop shop
if you want to handle everything yourself, want to pay les fees & you don't have that many issues with chargebacks
just use shopify
hell their pricing isn't that bad
idk, mollie + craftingstore gives us way better pricing than tebex
a big + for using tebex is taxes
iirc, craftingstore takes nothing from your payments
I mean, once you set that administrative stuff up, it's not that much of a pain in the ass
I trust Michael he has BIGGEST network 
It all depends on the server size
if it is a smaller server, craftingstore is defo the way to go
if it is a huge server, tebex might be better choice
eh
an argument for that could be that tebex takes the hassle of said administrative things away
nor do you have to go through the pain of managing paypal yourself and hoping that you don't get blocked
I mean
Most server owner dont consider their own time being an expense 
Do you really need paypal tho?
Well, we have a local network (czech republic), most people use debit cards, paysafecards and SMS
you see someone using paypal very rarely
Then, you probably have a bigger network, therefore tebex might be a better choice as I've said.
and for mollie you need a registered business here
how else do you want to handle taxes?
I've just used patreon for my server lmao
it's already impressive enough to find minecraft servers with a legal entity behind it


I mean it all kinda depends on your country
JAVA MC server community tax fraud central
dont you technically have to pay VAT in all countries you sell to (where applicable)
only have to report it on taxes after a certain amount
Now I feel weird for getting the owner to register a business
no it's a good thing for sure
could get nightmarish pretty quickly
tebex handles this
whats weird about following the regulation (?)
I mean
yeah thats why i like the look of tebex
like the only thing you receive from tebex is being paid out in royalties
here, unless you have bigger income than about 1K USD per year, you don't need to tax it
people run pirated servers for pirated clients what makes you think they'll do taxes too
So many servers start with that, saying "We will get that stuff sorted out, when we will reach the limit"
1k?
@left swift not to mention almost all lootbox practice is illegal
what's wrong with children gambling?
gambling for underaged kids
Wont be surprised if Microsoft will step in next to fix that mess
does that apply to games like overwatch/csgo/etc?
that's the neat part, it's not (at least not here), until you can't get real money from that ingame things back, it is not legally considered gambling
with csgo theres like a bajillion loopholes
even in some EU country I dont remember they found a loophole to still offer cases
which was to just show you what ur case will give you before you open it
France maybe
or germany
I am sure some EU countires will disagree with this but ok 
the point is underaged kid should not have the ability to make such purchase
I mean, it is kinda the gray area, I remember this because when gta online added the casino back, rockstar disabled it here
idk why you would disable gambling on a rated M game
unless gambling is a higher age requirement where you live
yeah because regulation is different and unless you have a way to KYC there is no way for you to avoid say selling something to some kid
So someone wrote a message to our ministry of business or however you call it.
And they responded saying something like: "Until you cannot get the money back from the game (e. g. it is one way process), it is not considered gambling"
It is immoral for sure
But not illegal

EA actually won in belgium sadly
Hello gyus!
I got a problem with the brewing stand, it keeps repeting the process adding the nether wart to water bottle and never finish the proccess
Does anyone had same issue?
This makes me sad 
windows 10 is the best operating system ever made


Wait EA won the right to put gambling back in FIFA?
I wouldn't be surprised
that's the only reason to play fifa is for gambling
It's the worst kind of gambling too, it never pays out 😛
src?
You get all the psychological manipulation of gambling (gambler's high and dark patterns and such) but no one is getting lucky and coming out ahead
Depends on your perspective
If you are looking at it from the provider perspective
It is the best kind of gambling
death is when you finally win

Imagine a business where people hand you money and you hand them back absolutely nothing. Now that's the real American dream
well that's basically any ingame item selling
Well, no, some games sell stupid DLC like Fortnite (which has its own problems) but FIFA sells you the chance to get the thing you wanted
A Netherlands court overturned a 2020 ruling mmm yes belgium
So do all Valve's games
Ded's country actually di something good for once
its not even my country

Valve's you can even sell for Steambucks so it's even more obviously gambling
yeah because valve's credit has real value
unlike majority of Minecraft server
I do love steam market though
no other game allows you to sell your old skins for credit for other games etc.
Are Valve's loot boxes banned in Belgium?
“At Electronic Arts our approach to game design puts choice, fun, fairness and value first. Our priority has always been to make sure that our players in the Netherlands and across the world have a positive experience.”
yeah thats complete crap 
There is still RNG if you can't pick what you'll get next 😛
when you look into buying chest in Belgium Steam, it will indicate the content inside the lootbox.
*they show you what you might get
I guess that's the happy middle ground they came up with (?)
well its randomly selected beforehand, so its still RNG
no it's 100% @neon bramble
So your choices are to eat a shitty box and hope for the next one to be better or buy nothing
you just already know what you'll be buying
really
yeah
if your next box has "rare" item in it, it will show up as well letting you know.
what's the point of the lootbox then? Why don't you buy the skin instead? What is stopping you from choosing only lootboxes with expensive skins?
Or can you just stockpile a bunch of junk boxes and never pay to open them?
you cannot make the choice
Now I am confused
it rotate all the common one first with rate items from time to time and you can only see the "next" box
Right so you still have to pay for all the junk to get the item you want
yes
It just tells you ahead of time you're going to be disappointed
that's so stupid
enchantments are the Minecraft way of gambling 
That's when company meets regulation.
It is, and is basically taking the wording of the law and trying to find a loophole
Chinese did the similar thing as well
Their law requires all company selling lootbox to disclouse odds
They keep their business model, more or less
It's probably not as lucrative since I bet you don't get the gambler's high from that
so it's technically following the rule but the number is pretty much useless
But they didn't have to segment those countries off from the marketplace and just let them buy what they wanted
@worn ember isnt the item bought that way untradable outside of your country?
I forgot.
Steam does take measurement against this iirc
doesn't it just move gambler's high to the part where you purchase the box -> you are going to be revealed of its contents?
nah as a true addict here, that takes all the fun away actually.
hi
anyone can help me?
FATAL: The Gradle wrapper has not been found in these directories:

I thought you don't buy the boxes, you buy keys to open them
So you randomly get a box when playing, can see what is in it, then decide to not buy a key
what would stop you from just opening the nice boxes?
This is correct
so think of instead of opening them unknown
you are now opening box in a pre- determined series of drops
but you as user can only see the "next" drop.
So it's still RNG
yes
They just tell you more about the RNG
yes 
So no fun with same price
CORRECT
You can see that your next drop will be something you want then pay money to open a trash drop so you can play more to get the next drop and them pay to open it too
😳 I shouldn't support your addiction
Or if your next drop is trash too maybe you just stop trying and hit the marketplace or maybe you waste money on the trash hoping for better RNG later
yeah
It's still gambling, just detached enough from the spending money part and neutered enough to avoid the law
take DOTA for example
it is a really 2nd hand /developing country friendly place
as the western whales will buy out stuff and keep the items they want and dump the rest into market for 90% off
so if you dont mind getting the newest whatever set you want for the game, wait a month for 90% off official store price is common.
At least daddy Gaben has more moneyz for supporting Linux gaming 
I suspect Valve makes enough money without all this crap 😛
I would dare to say, that csgo is one of their main money sources
They make 10-30% off every game, DLC, etc sale
They have to run a store to do so, sure

no doubts on that
so uh
the tweet is in Spanish but

@quasi valley did CF deny your mod? 
They just don't appreciate art https://i.imgur.com/d3mMPHv.png
to me it sounds extremely descriptive 
😔
effort, also, I won't have to publish jars on three platforms then 
modrinth and GH shall be good
ew curseforge
CF and Modrinth both have an API to upload artifacts with, could simply hook into via gh actions on release. Ezpz one release
I'm using the former locally reading the github changelog :P
since when does modrinth exist btw? I feel like it kinda appeared over night but I also haven't looked at mods for a while
so not really that old
That’s pretty new
Thsts like before Covid!

maybe if he releases hangar, I might respect him
a tiny bit
Like, a slither

if we still at this point in summer ill just close discord and never open it again or something
(Then he'll breath another breath, and I'll lose all the respect I had for him, but, still)
Mini
