Ok but doesn't this imply no one would click their links anyways
i understand the point of paying creators, but the fundamental nature of advertisements is psychological manipulation. there isn't really properly ethical ads because the very practice is based on mental warfare
quilt primarily split because the other modloaders are made by bigots. this is why doctor4t decided to only use Quilt, because Fabric has weird transphobes on it as far as I remember and the forge team is just full of weirdos. Doctor4t says this explicitly on the Effective mod page. plus quilt is literally compatible with 99% of fabric mods so it's kind of pointless to get up in arms about it. i've used primarily quilt for modding as of recent and have found exactly 1 incompatible mod, which isn't even really incompatible, seems to just be a side effect of quilt waiting for 1.21 to start updating and patching it
also the forge/fabric split was somewhat justified too. fabric is comically less bloated and boots way faster than any forge setup. lexmanos is generally an asshole (and bigot afaik) hence NeoForge, and that isn't really shaping up to be much of a split because pretty much everyone seems to just accept NeoForge as the new forge now.
also the reason people say not to ask for forge ports is because they're doing this stuff in their free time and it takes fucking ages to port something to an entirely new platform
these ads are sponsorships by hosting companies etc, not mod developers or players. i mean i suppose some members of the companies could be minecraft players but it's not necessary to be hired, I'd imagine
well i guess that would answer that
Ever since a commit was made to EasyList, a conflict has begun between UBlock Origin contributers and numerous mod developers that use the Modrinth platform. This is because this commit blocked multiple sponsorship referral banners on mod pages, specifically on the Modrinth website. Modrinth themselves has come out against this change to the EasyList block list and due to UBlock Origin using it by default, this is primarily a conflict between UBlock Origin's main contributors and active mod developers on Modrinth.
Mod developers complaints primarily are that the implementation was commonly breaking their mod pages, leading to important support links for players to be hidden, and that the change negatively affects them monetarily as independent developers. Some mod developers have begun automatically changing their referral links to prevent them from being blocked every time a commit attempts so. Mod developers' are concerned their livelihoods could be ruined by this EasyList change.
UBlock Origin has retorted that the sponsorship affiliate links fit the Easy List definition for an advertisement and therefore they will not make an exception. This is likely because implementing any kind of acceptable ads policy is out of the question for them, as a similar policy is what led to the original UBlock from becoming sub-par and less usable, leading to the UBlock Origin fork.
This primarily raises questions about how or why these mod developers are losing money. The presence of concern implies that their sponsors and affiliates are able to track each individual click or view for their referral links, a practice I am sure most would consider intrusive. We can only hope that this puts enough pressure on these companies and groups to remove tracking from their links.
slime rancher posting
simply imprison people until we don't need prisons anymore
but unironically
Those chuds want prisons to stay around longer, ez paradox of tolerance dub
If you consider like Crime and Punishment and stuff, isn't prison abolition, while not achievable just like immediately under capitalism, a really important goal for a communist society to work towards?
that is a lot of sources, I concede defeat
I'm autistic so high level mocking sarcasm is lost on me. so what you're saying makes sense but "simple one track minds" is pretty out of line.
if someone is being sectarian against a GROUP than every individual in that group is targeted by proxy
no they thought people should eat bugs
here's an old comment explaining one of their posts
idk how but the meme about BMF turned into the opposite of what BMF believed, probably because their posts were just that confusing
they literally can though. US politicians are famously buyable
that's not how the sectarianism rule works
That's not what I mean
Are we just ignoring the weird cultural stuff they would focus on
Or the fact they would obsess over how real proles should eat bugs (ignoring beans and shit exist)
are we pretending these companies don't have the ability to just buy the creation of said software from the government? no matter the way you paint it it's still just them being cheap. nothing more, nothing less.
