    …and this is how you keep people using mainstream services instead of FOSS / privacy respecting ones.

    The actual answer is convenience and not wanting to make their life more difficult, which brings ignorance into it.

    Not everyone is ready to flip their whole digital life upside down based on the privacy principles you and I care about - that’s why I too use the approach the parent commenter mentioned, and I’m also okay with people who just won’t make any switches, because while I don’t support it, I understand it.

    The long and short of it is don’t think of this as “us vs them” - we’re all people together and understanding and gently making people aware of these privacy principles and giving them realistic private solutions is, in my opinion, way more effective than saying “fuck 'em”


  • Hey guys, my Dad was always a neck bearded Unix admin so I’ve grown up my whole life on FreeBSD, then moving over to Gentoo during my teen years.

    I’m starting to have thoughts about switching to Windows given that’s what my new job uses, but I couldn’t find any instructions on compiling Windows outside of very outdated releases like 2000. Also, does anyone know if emacs and htop are compatible, as those are my most used applications?



  • Short answer: GeyserMC sidesteps that player authentication process Java players need to do

    Long answer:

    I’ve used and set up GeyserMC before. It sounds like the server you’re joining has online-mode on, which requires all Java players who are joining to have a valid Java account and current authentication.

    GeyserMC, being a mod to the server, entirely sidesteps this entire process. Your Bedrock cracked client requests to join and GeyserMC, being the way your client communicates with the server, just let’s you in. It just sends your client the chunks, the entities, etc. and lets you interact with them, and Java players are shown an additional Player entity (being you).

    GeyserMC actually has authentication a server owner can set up that does require a valid Bedrock account or valid Java account, but it seems the server(s) you’re playing hasn’t set this up.
