I have never played Minecraft so I would not actually know, but yeah, everyone who has played both says it's better. Now if only we could get a Distant Horizons feature on this bad boy....

Others have discovered that Gamboa has carried his rifle at other "non-right" protests while dressed in a similar manner. They may be a case of the shooter being jumpy.

Me. Porn is fine. Teach your children how to handle it. Teach them that it's not realistic and some of it is straight-up dangerous. Put a filter on your internet if you're too scared to talk to your kids about uncomfortable topics.

Florida judge rules AI chatbots not protected by First Amendment in c/news@lemmy.world

Unironically, the provider of the chat bot should be liable for anything the chat bot says. Don't fire humans so youn can hide behind a neural network.

But this ain't suicide encouragement.

The Rollercoaster Tycoon manual made up game mechanics that didn't exist.

I do not want the program to react when I left click ordinary text. The program should not anticipate my needs. It should wait until I've told it I need something (with a right click) before doing anything.

Added sugar to peanut butter is an affront to the mighty peanut. Just grind that shit pure and smack it in your mouth like nature intended.

Trying to Remove Fixed "Glass" From Door (midwest.social)
 

Do you guys have any suggestions for how to remove fixed glass pieces? It's glued in place very securely, and I can't pry it out no matter what I do. Do you know if there's any solvents that would dissolve the glue but not harm the plastic? I want to refinish the glass to get rid of all the scratches.

Fundraiser to Support Free Firearms Classes for Queer and Minority Communities (www.gofundme.com)
 

A Madison local is looking to provide firearms instruction classes to students who might not feel safe taking a normal firearms course. The classes are free to the students to make them as accessible as possible. If you can help out with operating expenses (classroom rent, study materials, etc.) you will help build proficiency and safety in a community traditionally under served in this area.

Thanks!

Fundraiser to Support Free Firearms Classes for Queer and Minority Communities (www.gofundme.com)
 

Hi all,

A fellow enthusiast started teaching firearms courses aimed at folks who aren't typically courted by the gun community. They've been doing this for free since the start of COVID and they are now looking to expand their operation and need to raise funds in order to keep it free. If you could chip in a few bucks to help with next year's expenses, you'll be making firearms proficiency more accessible to people who aren't welcome in other courses currently available.

Thanks!

YSK: The Search Engine Ecosia Plants Trees With Your Searches (midwest.social)

Ecosia is a German search engine company which donates 80% of its revenue to planting trees. They take Bing, reskin it, and spend the profits from advertising on planting trees. They're up to about 175,000,000 trees so far.

https://info.ecosia.org/what?_sp=c00c1905-82ee-49a9-a802-904ebfaef758

Edit: This is just a convenient way to turn something you do every day (use a search engine) into a force for good. It's a slow process, 1 tree ≈ 45 searches, but you were going to make those searches anyway, might as well plant trees! Think of it as the digital equivalent of buying local food.

An Anti-Porn App Put Him in Jail and His Family Under Surveillance (www.wired.com)
 

A court used an app called Covenant Eyes to surveil the family of an Indiana man released on bond. Now he’s back in jail, and tech misuse may be to blame. The app flagged one of the family's devices as having accessed Pornhub even though it didn't, and this was the only evidence used to throw the man back in jail. They didn't even try to prove he was the one who caused the app to flag Pornhub as visited, they just assumed it was him. The article contains multiple levels of "oh my god our system is messed up."
