    ...No? Faulty storage will almost always show up as I/O errors, modern storage generally doesn't want to send a block of data to the CPU if there is an error in it. If your bits ar…

    Huh, I guess I assumed that based on the behavior of most of the experimental flags offered on world creation. Has that always been the case? I think mojang is taking a turn away f…

    GLFW itself is supposed to work, but there are areas of the API surface that Minecraft touches that have been a problem, so Minecraft hasn't been able to enable it. I believe the t…

    Minecraft essentially only uses GLFW (and now SDL3) to create the window and accept input. The game itself is essentially coded in raw OpenGL (and now vulkan).

    They are explicitly a beta channel, and in fact if you create a world on a snapshot you don't have an upgrade path to future releases (unless you start hacking at your world files …

    The modern desktops seem to have some way to jam themselves if the lock screen fails. For example, KDE: https://preview.redd.it/plasma-lock-screen-messed-up-v0-zx7h... GNOME: https…

    The removal of dictionary definitions from google search (even if you use "define") is absolutely infuriating. Dictionary definitions are written with the exact amount of precision…

    Can't they just compete in separate categories? People have been making high-level computer mods years before even ComputerCraft, RedPower, or OpenComputers existed. And people wil…

    Not sure if uBlock Origin has a checkbox to turn off globally, but since it is an ad blocker, you could just manually add a global filter on all tags. Or you could rely on the comm…

    Cloudflare seems to be on a streak, boasting about new capabilities that are only useful for mass spam. When can we start blocking them for deliberately harboring spam?
