Oh hey Hurst! They package these in my city. Back in college I used to make a pot of these and a huge batch of cornbread regularly all winter. Good memories.

I think we must’ve gotten hung up on some double negatives, sorry. What I meant is, the default UI on bedrock for large enough screens is the standard PC layout, just like on Java.

The weird thing is that Windows 10 broke that model. It always used to be that the even-numbered Windows versions were worse (after, let’s say, Windows 2000): ME (#4)? Bad. XP (#5)? Good! Vista (#6)? Bad. 7? Good! 8? Bad. 8.1 (#9)? Good! But then Windows 10 came out and threw the whole rhythm off.

You could pretty reasonably argue that 8.1 wasn’t a true version, and thus Windows 10 was the 9th version of Windows, but that just means that 8 was the combo breaker by becoming good eventually. In either case, Windows 11 being bad restores the bad version/good version rhythm.

Not on Mastodon. Some of the other fedi microblog platforms have had it, though.

I learned about this from the local White Castle.

They want us to upgrade to 11 so they can do that when they release Windows 12.

Same. I play on a realm with my kids who play on Switch, and it’s practically identical to the Java experience at this point.

It is now, unless you’re running it on a small screen. The touch controls disappear unless you have a touch screen, and the inventory UI is the same across all large screen devices.

It is based on the android version, but the UI is now the same as in Java version.

Great point. Their strategy at this point is holding a gun up to your hard drive and saying “upgrade now or your data gets it.”

I would assume it uses a different random seed for every query. Probably fixed sometimes, not fixed other times.

Yep. I have a few hunches about how it works (I would guess that the answer to your original question is “no” or “only kinda,” for instance) but honestly my hunches are likely no better than tea leaves and significantly less tasty.

YouTube doesn’t make public their view counting algorithm so that it can’t be gamed, so it’s anyone’s guess.

I’m pretty sure YouTube randomly “fuzzes” the public view count of videos specifically to prevent this kind of research.

Oceania has always been at peace with Eastasia.

I mean, I don’t think he’s actually all that important, but I’m willing to give it a try.

He didn’t deserve it, but I can still choose to be better than him and offer it anyway.

People learn to draw arms as toddlers, too.

Like I said, we have enough evidence for any reasonable jury to convict him already. Connecting in ambiguous or easily-explained-away evidence just weakens the case.
