And to top it off, YT Music stopped working for me, and has done the same for many others on some accounts (the revanced team thinks it’s a/b testing from google).

I guess it’s time to update my local music collection.

It seems you’re mostly right (except there are rumours that a Taiwan takeover is part of China’s long term plan for economic dominance).

I’m worried at how many China shills there are around here.

I always saw it as TSMC potentially being a key reason for China to invade Taiwan so they get their hands on semiconductors, with this being LESS likely now, instead of more, because China no longer needs TSMC and their research.

If China’s already at 5nm, they’re getting close. Smallest in use now is 3nm, I think.

This poses the question, how long until China can achieve its goals without Taiwan and TSMC?

Java is easy, Bedrock is almost impossible.

For Java, there are plenty of cracked launchers. Just find one that is a jar file and make sure you have OpenJRE installed. I think I was using SKLauncher.

For Bedrock, your only real option is finding the cracked launcher AppImage that has the ability to use .apk files. The hard part is that if you’re on an x86 platform (anything desktop that’s not using Apple’s M-Series or Qualcomm’s chips), you need an x86 apk, and the x86 apks from TLauncher will not work, I tried. You could scour the internet and find 1.8, and 1.14 (Village and Pillage) x86 apks, but they’re super old at this point. In the end, I gave up and paid £6 (UK), for Minecraft on the Google Play Store, so I can play Bedrock. It’s probably the only digital game purchase I’ve ever made.

I REALLY want to try PlaMo, but I wish I could use Mobile Linux on my phone. I can’t, but oh if I could, or if I could run PlaMo on Android, it would’ve been great. I once even “riced” my phone to look like Plasma Mobile.

As a non-American, everybody jaywalked back in London. You just go with the crowd when there aren’t that many cars, so you don’t get hit by a car.

So it isn’t even local private AI but rather just an Interface for NOT-private LLMs like ChatGPT (which specifically stated, at least at first, that all your queries to it and their responses are being monitored and saved by OpenAI)

Yup. I call it the Steve Jobs principle. He wasn’t selling the hardware. He was selling a vision of success that you could only achieve with his products.
