It's more than that, it's a whole engine and launcher combo for (mostly) voxel games, most of which again are Minecraft like, but some are very different. It's made some huge leaps recently, graphics wise and functionality wise. The promise of the engine is also being fulfilled with more original game projects being developed for it.

There is a decent possibility he is a money mule, he may be unaware that what he is doing is illegal. There is some precedent specifically for criminals in China using people overseas as money mules.

"Oh, you're totally alright! I apologise about that. 😀"

Surely this was meant to be a geography teacher, with the map and pointer stick?

Even though I've seen TOS I never connected the dots! Didn't realise their characters had appeared before. Must watch those episodes again some time.

Legitimate question, did you temporarily disable it, or did it just not manage to block this post because those words aren't in the title?

I've seen something like that, believe or not, when at a music festival a small unattended tent that was not properly staked down got caught in the wind and a thermal updraft and went way up in the skt to be blown about. Had I not seen it with my own eyes I would have never believed it was possible.

What distribution are you on? What mod manager have you tried using? And what mods are you trying to install?

Also have you tried Skyrim Anniversary edition? It has some basic built in modding capabilities.

If some of them are users rather than admins, it makes sense and maybe it's a good sign that they don't have to know in order to use the service.

Cidona, it's basically a non-Alcholic version of one of the biggest alcoholic apple cider brands in Ireland. A gateway drug.

Sort of, yes. In it's earliest stages it was just an attempt at a FOSS.Minecraft like game, but it evolved into the engine/platform it is over the past few years. Minetest uses LUA as a.scripting language, which I believe Roblox also uses.

Nice and tidy setup. What specs do the Thinkcenters have? And what rack is that?

Does it work on Linux?

No, but I've started thinking about getting a plan B ready (despite being in very stable circumstances). I am a late arrival to tech, but came to this field because I'm genuinely interested in it and want to immerse myself. It's not my background and trying to catch up and keep up is tricky, but it has been interesting.

Yet, with what tech is trending towards (chat control, government IDs required to participate online, talk of banning adblockers and VPNs, the ever expanding reach of FAANG or whatever the acronym is) I'm not sure whether I can keep the enthusiasm up. What attracted me to tech was the scrappy underdogs in FOSS, the people standing up to the monopolies...but I've been losing some of my initial optimism.

AI is just the latest development in the saga, which puts question marks on the viability of a career in tech, as well as providing sort of poisoned chalice of convenience to somebody still starting out. I want to know and learn whatever I can myself, but my peers are ahead and using AI. Whenever I use AI I can feel my patience, curiosity and satisfaction atrophying.

I was a Star Wars fan all my life.

I became a Trekkie somewhere through that trilogy.

Is this an ADHD thing?

Beautiful little bird. How long does this type of bird live?

I'd second Luanti, but just clarify that these days it's more of a game platform than a single game. It has a built in content management system to download games, mods and texture packs.

The games available to install via Luanti range from Mincraft clones like Mineclonia, to semi-clones like Voxellibre, to original blocky survival games like Exile, all the way to arcade style games Extra Ordinance and platformers like Glitch, where you'd swear they were built on a totally different engine.

Mods for Luanti games are also pretty great, everything from fully fledged train systems to airships and everything between.
