Yeah children can’t do that. I just handed one my phone with the number dialed, and the screen didn’t recognize. She still has my phone and is starting to scream and curse at it.

I mean I tried calling the ISP in my teens. They wouldn’t talk to me and left us without internet for months. They would only talk to the bill payer, who was in Afghanistan at the time.
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 25 minutes ago
You are calling about a billing issue when ypu are not the account holder. You were not old enough to negotiate a contract so they could not help you.
The OP in the green text was calling about stolen power. That shouldn’t require talking to the account holder.

I got in a fight with Verizon and the FCC over bootloader locking when I was 15, some of us just have nothing better to do than be a complete and utter pedantic menace as kids
AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 15 hours ago
I think kids being pedantic menaces are a very important part of society. most of the times it’s over good things, but adults don’t have the time or drive to address it.

There a saying-- only do one crime at a time.
This guy was growing weed and doing just fine at it. Only because he decided to steal power also, he got caught.

Eh, doesn’t apply anymore. Only way to have any privacy anymore is crime.

Yeah grower Steve probably would have been totally sympathetic to the Minecraft plight too, base d on the stoners I know
x00z@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I don’t care about people growing weed and making some moneys.
But if you’re going to fuck up the electricity net or even stealing it from your neighbors, you’re a fuckhead.
Nowadays you can just use LED lights and a heat pump and be extremely stealthy. Maybe even put some solar panels.

Or move somewhere you can grow it legally, then you don’t have to be stealthy.
x00z@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Like the US? No thanks.
Worldwide there are not many places. It’s not even legal in the Netherlands to grow weed (with an exception for personal use).

As the father of a Minecraft-obsessed kid, this feels intended to fuel my dislike of Minecraft.
So did the movie. And all those obnoxious YouTubers.
Is that it? Is mojang just an elaborate put-on?
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
No, but Microsoft bought Mojang out 12 years ago, and Microsoft gonna Microsoft.

The YouTuber that got me into Minecraft was like 40yo when I started (I was already in my 20s back then for what it’s worth) and is anything but obnoxious. If you’re specifically looking for YouTubers and streamers who aren’t annoying, you will definitely find them. Have you seen regular old children’s TV? “Obnoxious” is just what children like.

nah dude Minecraft is great. sandbox game that allows creativity and problem solving and whatnot.
now, the microsoft-approved and promoted servers and ad content, fuck all that shit with bedrock. but basic Minecraft is great. just gotta get your kid onto basic java and away from bedrock where they serve you ads and shit

Aneb@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Its been a number of years since I played either version, dont you pay for java and for bedrock? Why do they insert ads? Back in abt 2019 I didn’t see any of that on Bedrock
Pechente@feddit.org 1 day ago
As many others have pointed out, Microsoft made Minecraft shit. 10 - 15 years ago it was an awesome little game. Loved to play it with my friends on our server. Somebody was always online and you could talk, hang out, explore or do a project together.
Nowadays you open it and it has a shop and some ingame currency and weird collabs with popular IPs. That’s simply not what Minecraft used to be and whenever I watch a modern trailer for it, I wanna throw up.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Java edition, my friend.
I have been playing Minecraft with a small group of friends on a self-hosted private server on and off for the past 15 years. No ads, no coin shop, no annoyance.
As for the screaming YouTubers, obviously they exist, but there are also some nice chill peeps out there. EthosLab or Bdoubleo100 for example - especially their single player worlds where it’s just them working on projects and building.

Have you all tried Luanti? I’ve randomly stumbled upon it when I was looking for open source games for Android. I’m not a Minecraft player so I can’t tell if it’s any good.
baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
minecraft can be very nice and wholesome, it’s just that nice and wholesome doesn’t sell (or rather big companies don’t think it sells in this case). hermitcraft is an example of nice and wholesome minecraft, just a bunch of people playing on one minecraft server for a year or more (and then they start a new world, restarting the series in a new season) and making videos about every week. the members are usually pretty creative and kindhearted, and I can’t really complain about them at all except maybe iskall, who had allegations pop up about him sexting women while married, who reacted to the allegations super unhelpfully and who left or got kicked off the server very quickly. major decisions like that are done by the server members voting on decisions instead of just one person being a bit dictatorish.
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Meh, minecraft is not so bad. Its pretty much legos. Did it change much? I played it in beta and never since.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 21 hours ago
Microsoft enshittified the fuck out of it
base Minecraft is still there (except in bedrock, bedrock is super enshittified with official servers and ads and stuff and they make it difficult to connect to your own self hosted server, it’s fucked)
but java, you can still play just like old times, for the most part. shittier launcher. more login annoyances. but that’s about it in my experience.
yakko@feddit.uk 1 day ago
Then you’ve played it more than me. I said my kid is obsessed, not me. I don’t know why everyone is chatting me up about it tbh
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The movie isn’t very representative of Minecraft and was probably designed for teenagers who love “brainrot”
Some non-obnoxious YouTubers are the Hermitcraft crowd, notably Grian

that’s the problem with kids in context of power and the state, it’s very easy to bribe them and they don’t have a bit of loyalty.

Green text usually follows “be me” with some indication of gender and age. Eg Be me 51m
