Ya, how dare a website gets revenue to pay their writers and server host.

I don't understand why Mojang, and especially now under Microsoft, doesn't host their own?

Why doesn't wiki.minecraft.net exist?

It's not as easy as people complaining, though. What are people going to do? Move to a city in 2500KM away in the next province over, because that province has slightly better infrastructure?

No, they'll complain, nothing will be done, and they'll stay where they are because they have friends, family, and a job here.

I understand that it's easier to do in a lot of European countries, but I can literally drive for over 25 straight hours, and still be in my province in Canada. It's nearly impossible to do any kind of proper public transit, and it's not feasible to move over it.

Until the end of the day and the bus still has to keep running, but it has 0-1 passenger. Running a big diesel engine all around the city and it's mostly empty is not great for the environment.

eBikes allow older folks and disabled folks to get out.

You guys are truly insufferable. You hate on cars, but then hate on people who rely on eBikes.

I guess we should stop making electronic wheelchairs, too. Quadriplegics should just sit and die.

Imagine if people understood that not everyone lives where they can ride a bike or take public transit.

Stop blaming people for being born into a country that essentially requires cars.

You live in a place designed around cars, that’s the problem.

Exactly. Then Europeans downvote people who say they need a car, because their country/city/state/whatever has terrible planning or public transit.

Not my fault I need a car. Stop blaming me. I didn't design the city. I didn't plan where the public transit will go.

Do you really think I love paying $1200+ per year for insurance, $120+ per week for fuel, and $20,000-80,000 for a new vehicle when mine borks itself?

Clearly I'm missing something, because it's not been updated since 2021. Nearly 3 years ago.

Unless you're talking about the not actually released, has to be manually installed, labeled "pre-release" version from GitHub? Which hardly counts.

Mine was the HTC Dream. Had some issues with the radio, so it would just lose signal (without telling you) for hours.

I didn't know anything about Android, but I heard you could flash a new radio. I followed some random guide, bricked the phone, and gave up on Android until the Nexus 4.

Solid Explorer.

However, when I'm VPNing into my unraid server, for some reason Solid Explorer doesn't work? I downloaded Xiaomi File Manager, and while it's EXTREMELY slow, it does work via the VPN.

Does anyone know why?

Edit: tried Material Files to replace the Xiaomi app, and it also lets me connect to my shares when I VPN into my unraid server. I wonder why Solid Explorer refuses to connect..

They're too busy protesting pronouns. Gotta find something new to be grumpy at.

"I know people who got the vaccine and died right after"

Ok. And I know 1,000,000x more people that didn't get the vaccine and died from COVID. Even if they died from the vaccine (they didn't), the vaccine is safer.
