As others have said, that's not the "banned" message. That's some overzealous automatic thing they've put in that seems to try and stop excessive traffic all coming from the same source. When it works "right" it mainly just pops up to stop people on VPNs (lots of traffic from a relatively small set of IP addresses).

It's stupid as hell, and just more poor decisions stemming from their attempts to prevent scraping by AI, but it's not a ban.

Fun fact: The band that made it, Lemon Demon, is just Neil Ciciriega. He's still doing wonderfully goofy musical shit, and weird ass funny videos.

Another great one (already 10 years old): https://youtu.be/0tdyU_gW6WE

Also telling people to "Explore"... in a bathroom.

This batch of jenkem is taking me to Strange New Worlds bro.

Why? Hate babies? Or all children?

Or just the giraffe baby? I'd understand that one. Fucker's always eating the leaves off my trees.

If you just want to do singleplayer Java edition, last I checked you can use MultiMc to launch with no account.

Still some bullshit even for those of us who transferred our accounts. We were supposed to get access to all future versions (and it was at least heavily implied that meant across different platforms) with our single early purchase.

Hey @mirrorwitch@awful.systems, your blog post really seems to be making the rounds now!


Edit: not sure why the downvote. It was originally posted by mirrorwitch, of the awful.systems instance, on the tech takes community there. Direct link: https://awful.systems/post/4558700

It also got noticed by Hacker News, which is funny to me given that the original community it was posted to is incredibly anti-HN. Also that roughly half of the comments are people who were unable to follow how it was written (funny given HN's overwhelming elitist slant). Link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44200773

If mirrorwitch doesn't want the shoutout, just say so or send me a private message and I'll take this comment down.

Yep, this discussion has been done to death decades ago when datacenters and other secure facilities started using iris scans.

Biometrics is the username, not the password.

It's frustrating that so many reporters and news orgs can't grasp this.

This is exactly why there are a decent handful of gym bros up in the top 100 ranked players. There is a surprising overlap in interest in incremental gains digitally and physically.

Man, I'm glad I didn't find my brashness when I was young.

"Sure, I'll demonstrate with this trash can!"

Not showing stickied here from the db0 lemmy instance.

Might be worth opening an issue on the piefed repo. Theoretically since it's all activitypub it should be as simple as marking it stickied in piefed and piefed supplying the valid "lemmy sticky" property. Wouldn't think there would be anything special for you to do personally.
