If they open source it then that’s a win. Closed source models don’t help anyone because when the company goes bust they need to be reinvented again. People like to talk about the advancements capitalist industry has made but if they never publish any of it because of “tRaDE sEcrETs” they might as well have never done it because the next person will have to reinvent it when they go bust or kill it for money.
Well probably the best client is Fjord Launcher Unlocked (linked in my other comment) since it supports alternate Auth servers which effectively bypass the problem altogether. Ultimately though if Microsoft revokes premium status on accounts to get people to verify, using a different auth server or disabling it and going with offline mode will be the only real way forward.
I’m in agreement, Minetest is more of a curiosity than an actual replacement to Minecraft and it isn’t good to suggest it as a replacement to Minecraft.
Turn offline mode on and install a password plugin on your server. The worst Microsoft can do is revoke premium status on accounts, and offline mode skips all MSA account checks on servers.
There are also bypasses for that so you don’t need to actually connect, and forks that remove the requirement. Though I would say that bare prism is not the best thing to use considering FjordLauncher has authlib-injector support which means being able to connect accounts other than Microsoft and offline accounts.
It just allows logging in to alternate auth services like ely.by or littleskin.cn
Yeah it’s weird that they feel entitled to do that. It’s also a bit sad that a large portion of the community essentially accepts it. Well I mean that isn’t exactly true. In other places alternate authlib services like BlessingSkin and LittleSkin are very popular (mainly just for getting skins, not as use for auth) but beyond that you don’t see any real push to break away from Microsoft.
Fjord Launcher Unlocked is probably the best there is. Has authlib-injector support out of the box, retains FTB modpack support, and is patched to remove MSA checks.
Also for players on your server you should recommend people use No Chat Restrictions in case they still wish to use Microsoft accounts for whatever reason. I feel like maybe that mod should be installable on the server so you can require players to use it, but currently it doesn’t do anything when installed on the server.
If they do hopefully someone will expose them again for this.
It’s not really rude, no one really knows what your top upload speed is or how much of it you have to be able to use. Many people out there torrenting have horrible upload and download speeds but the benefit of the torrent protocol is that a bunch of people seeding a file with horrible upload speed can still result in fast downloads for you.
The only ones who might take issue with it are private trackers who might require that people have fast uploads or upload a lot in a specific time frame.
Wasn’t me who asked. I have been very strongly in favor of it though, guilty as charged. I will not shy away from that.
Again. I know people wish to scapegoat me and blame me for this (up to and including harassment). Like I said this would’ve happened with or without me.
Seems more like you want people to be furious.
I’m just making the observation that a lot of feddit users went into the thread and were pissed off about it happening, plus the fact that I got harassed persistently throughout the course of the vote.
If that is the case it doesn’t make sense why Feddit had such a strong and hostile reaction to the existence and progress of the vote thread.
Shouldn’t it be obvious I’m not? Read the post again:
I know there is a lot of desire by people unhappy with the outcome to scapegoat me as personally responsible (and take out their anger on me personally) but this is a community effort and would’ve likely happened with or without me.
Definitely seems sus.
You could always open feddit.org in a private window to check on them if you wanted. I checked recently and they seemed pretty unaware of it even happening. My guess is that they’ll be seething when they find out.
Yeah with CGNAT becoming way more common it actually seems kind of unreasonable.
My legit accounts are as follows:
Yes I know this is excessive and I created many of them either when I was less sure of the Fediverse or because I wanted some activity separation in who I follow or communities I’m part of. And also because of Federation issues as well. I also was kind of hoping Lemmy would have something in the future where accounts like this can be merged into a single nomadic account. I had heard of something like that but I can’t find it now :/
I created it a while back because I thought having the username occupied would prevent this sort of thing from happening. I was more naive back then and didn’t think someone would be pathetic enough to use misspellings and lookalikes to get around that 😔.
It’s only really capitalist AI bros who care about this and are crying about it. Most of us are cheering for it because it means more open source models, and OpenAI’s wet dream of being able to block people from using AI is dead or dying fast.
