Valve is holding the carrot, Microsoft the stick.

Well for the sake of context Mineclonia is a fork of Mineclone2, which has now rebranded itself as VoxeLibre. The project was forked due to personal and design disputes. In fact the most productive developer of Mineclonia, used to be the lead dev of mcl2.

Currently VoxeLibre maintains the continuity of the original project and the community which explains its higher popularity. Mineclonia by comparison has very little presence, the discord server was set up like a couple of months ago I think.

But in terms of code, mineclonia has been the faster evolving of the two. More features, more bug fixes, and advances from voxelibre that are deemed valuable are cherry picked. In terms of specific features, I really prefer the double digging depth, and the better villages. And voxelibre has significantly shortened the attack range which I find really annoying.

Other than that, mineclonia is more commited to being a true clone of minecraft, with voxelibre going out of its way to diverge, especially after the rebrand, which might turn out to be wise if microsoft’s trademark lawyers come knocking.

Indeed you can. Personally I find the phone interface a bit too clunky, but if your phone’s hardware is up for it, it does run, and all platforms that support Minetest are compatible with each other.

Nope, you can just use these mods for the time being.
On the flip side, it’s orders of magnitude easier to write a Minetest mod, and keep it updated with later versions and compatible with other mods.

Friendly, and unsolicited reminder that the Minetest engine + its game Mineclonia (or alternatively Voxelibre) are a pretty good open source alternative as of late.
Minetest is also getting some pretty nice upgrades to its graphics lately. The upcoming release should be looking quite pretty.

Here’s a tip for YouTube, than might come in handy.
In videos that have subtitles available, you can go to the bottom of the description and hit the Show Transcript button. It opens the transcript on the right, and you can search in it. The negatives are that it’s not always available, and when it is, and it’s automatically generated, it might be inaccurate/misspelled, especially for niche technical terms.

What? EEVEE is evolving!
EEVEE evolved into RAYTHEON!

Downside of making them so stealthy? Have they checked between the cracks of the couch?

My contribution to the discussion is that the Greek phrase for “(in) my ass”, if said in a hasty/hillbilly way, sounds pretty similar to Gollum. Might even call in to question the true nationality of this game’s visionary inventor.

Ah yes, China’s and India’s rivalry over supremacy over East Asia wasn’t enough. Now they can have KSA and Iran fighting over the Middle East, plus Egypt and Ethiopia ready to go to war over a dam, under the same banner. I guess if half the members of a consortium want to murder the other half it balances out?

The animal yes, the GNU’s Not Unix no. Same goes for GNOME and all derivative words.

Yes, and building. I’ve set it up to activate with out of the back paddles. Can’t live without it.

As far as I know the greek keyboard layout is based on the US style alignment, with the characters swapped. The Greek alphabet has fewer characters than Latin after all. The standard quick way to change the input in Windows, and the one I’m using in Ubuntu is hitting Alt+Shift. Spelling Linux phonetically would be Λίνουξ.

I use them in games that need precise aiming (hello Valheim) along with the gyro, as well as mouse based games. Also they’re great for binding a bunch of extra buttons that you don’t use that often, and they make the desktop experience much smoother if you don’t have m/kb around.
I understand that having them is a compromise, so the rest of the controls end up more cramped, but at least for me it’s well worth it. I wouldn’t consider a different handheld pc, or a Steam Deck 2 without them now.

Android is at 52%, desktop linux at 4% if you count desktop + mobile.

It says desktop in the image, I assume if it counted android it would be over 50% since apple is not as popular here.

I had noticed that we’ve been pretty high on global statistics for years, but hadn’t seen anyone point it out.
Και το βλέπεις και στη πράξη, οι linuxάδες δεν είναι σπάνιοι, και όταν μιλάς σε τεχνικούς/support δεν σε κοιτάνε σαν εξωγήινο αν ακούσουν για Linux.
