So... What a crazy ass world we live in! 🤦♂️ Any of you (I know @deebs does) remember when Minecraft was a kids games for kids and created by this awesome guy and was open source (I believe)? 🤔 -- That is until he sold it to Microsoft (who bought it for stupid amounts of money). What did Microsoft go and do with it? That's right kids! 😅 They forced everyone old and new ever wanting to play the game to have a "Microsoft" account. 🤦♂️ -- So my daughter has been wanting to play for some years now, I've said "No". But she's a bit older now, so its getting harder to say no. -- So she now has an account. But in order to protect her real identity and her email email address (I'm her father, of course I'm going to set her up in this stupid ass digital world properly 🤣); I had to 1) buy a random domain name 2) delegate it to Cloudflare 3) Setup Email routing. All this so I could setup basically "junk" / "throwaway" email addresses and create an account with "basically garbage data". 🤦♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net Back in the days my mates and I only played Minetest, an open source clone of Micecraft, that performed heaps better than the original, but also did not include all features from its model. More than sufficient for us who enjoyed and valued the building part. At least my appeal was to have unlimited construction blocks. We also operated our own server to build stuff together, like our CS building as best as we could. It’s been way more than a decade, though, when we had to compile it from source ourselves, not sure how well it works nowadays.
