Piracy is Freedom, they are one in the same.

Definitely seems like an antisemitic jab, and yeah he way overestimates how much pirates use and care about Mega in this day and age.

Safe to say he’s definitely insane.

Fixed

Sorry, OOP deleted it due to criticism, I restored it through my own upload.

Yeah he’s really unhinged.

Yes, Open borders is the desirable outcome. The fact that people were saying they don’t want open borders shows they’re a lib and therefore not a real leftist.

It is not immigrants who are the cause of any problems in America, it is the right-fascists and oligarchs who shit this garbage out their mouths.

The counter to right-wing extremism isn’t right-wing liberalism, it is real leftism, the thing they are trying to dismiss.

If it is allowing you to connect to servers which require premium accounts it is a form of hacking since you are bypassing access control on a server you don’t own.

Even though like 90% of Minecraft server owners are pieces of shit and about 70% of those are P2W servers doing it for money it’s still not a good idea.

I think a big problem is that the majority of their plugin system is based on Python and when they switched from python 2.7 to python 3 they both fractured and largely in my opinion ruined the ecosystem. And maybe they did do that because people were using it for piracy. I said back then that it would cause fracturing and fallout, but people just said I was stupid.

Yet the community never really did recover from that

It really sucks sinc Kodi and LibreElec is probably the only UI out there for Linux devices for a TV type environment with remote/arrow key navigation. The only real other one out there is Gamescope/Steam but that’s more of a Gaming focused one.

They just don’t have any DRM on the client, but to answer your question in the past people didn’t call it piracy, they called it not using Minecraft with a premium account.

The only reason we do now is because Mojang and Microsoft removed the ability to play the demo mode from the official launcher (which is a piece of garbage by the way) and told people they needed to pay to play Minecraft. Unfortunately a lot of people are neoliberals and they take that advice to heart and consider it wrong to violate those wishes.

But I do agree with you that they shouldn’t I only do it with the display name of my community !minecraft4free@lemmy.dbzer0.com because it largely keeps the whiny neolibs who would whine about piracy away from the community.
