Multiplayer servers have between 20-40 on it most days. So usually can find people to play with. Quite a number enjoy the game. Obviously not on the level of MC. They're a lot bigger with far more resources, but it's a pretty solid game. It's always special when people give up their free time to make the world better rather than tear things down ;).

I'm not trying to convince folk at all. I'm stating a fact that many prefer it because of it being FOSS. I don't think anyone could ever persuade you of anything. Btw, Karma doesn't exist here. That and your toxic attitude are better found on reddit.

You're on Lemmy here. There is many people who actually care about privacy and telemetry doesn't sit well with them. Many have been put off by the recent direction.

Cool idea.

On the topic of FOSS, and promoting it, could we possibly get a MineClone2 server hosted, please?

We set up a community here and favour it over reddit: [email protected] (edited in proper URL)

Humans can judge information make decisions on it and adapt it. AI mostly just looks at what is statistically what is most likely based on training data. If 1 piece of data exists, it will copy, not paraphrase. Example was from I think copilot where it just printed out the code and comments from an old game verbatim. I think Quake2. It isn't intelligence, it is statistical copying.

Yup. It's very slow to generate and quite buggy. It needs reworking. They platform from 1 node they start generating in and aren't too good at knowing when it hits ground or not. They generate with better platforms in deserts and foresty snowy biomes than they used to, but that's a short term solution.

That is true. Probably why there is a drop of blood hanging off the union jack. However, when someone is not only overwriting the British flag, but with the blue pixels and shape of the Scottish flag, it cannot be a coincidence.

Fair point. The ones ruining it are amongst that 45%, I would assume.

I think it's because the Australian flag has British flag in the top left corner. The blue part is Scotland, red vertical and horizontal flag is England. The red diagonal is Northern Ireland.

Basically, Scotland want independence from the UK, and probably don't want to be part of that flag, so that is likely why the blue is being placed over the red.

A bit of a delayed response, but I didn't want to ignore it. I do stand corrected on many of those points. I don't agree with the last sentence, but I appreciate the accuracy and will upvote.

For something to be a world series, I would hope there would be teams around the world that represents the sport and compete against each other. For example, in football (your soccer), you have a world cup which has countries from around the world competing, and you have competitions like the Europa Champions League (the best clubs in Europe competing). I think one individual from a country doesn't necessarily indicate country participation.

Rules are created to ensure that they work for people. If there is a set of rules to make it better for people, and it doesn't, they may need a tweak.
