  • I only really have a problem with ads that are for shite. Ads for things that specifically provide an ethically better alternative to evil and detrimental mainstreams feel more like necessary PSAs

    *evil:

    • uses slave labour
    • uses policies that lead to harm or death
    • actively works to destroy the environment more than fix it
    • funds or is funded by evidently cruel parties
    • Charges unnecessary profits (>50% of cost to make) to benefit upper management rather than fairly pay employees

    *detrimental:

    • farms its users for invasive data or provides the tools to do so
    • Scams customers by charging much higher costs than appropriate

    etc.

    For example, Fairphone is currently an ethically clean company, and with Framework, while the laptop division is clean, the management is not.


















  • According to Gemini:

    A modder named iamcxv7 developed a proof-of-concept mod that allows Hytale and Minecraft players to interact in the same world.

    How it Works: The mod uses “Packet Trickery” to translate data between the two games.

    Server Host: A Minecraft server runs within the Hytale Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

    Translation: The mod takes snapshots of the Hytale world, reconstructs them using Minecraft’s coordinate system, and sends this data to the Minecraft client via packets.

    Synchronization: Player movements, block placements, animations, time of day, and text chat are synchronized across both games.
