It’s voxel based, but definitely nothing like Minecraft. If you’re looking for something similar to Minecraft that isn’t just a clone of it you could try Vintage Story. It’s closer to the Terra Firma Craft mod for Minecraft than the unmodded game.

I would still recommend trying Veloren as it is fun. Just don’t expect it to be anything like Minecraft.

It’s because the Scouts (formerly Boy Scouts) started accepting girls in 2019, prompting the name change. However, they are a separate organization from the Girl Scouts so they still exist. But without that context it does sound sexist

Installing Linux doesn’t magically transfer over all your files. My comment did not reference the time taken to install Linux. Additionally, for a first time Linux user, it may not be immediately clear where certain things, like mods or save files for games need to go.

EDIT: you’d also have to install and set up all your software (independent of which OS you install). None of this is particularly difficult, but it takes time and you need to think about it in advance to avoid missing a bunch of files or programs

It’s not trivial to move everything over to a new device (which installing a new OS would effectively be). I waited about a year to install Linux as I was going to upgrade my computer and didn’t want to two of these moves in such a narrow time

It would diversify the complaints, but multiple transactions would need to be prevented to erase the reputation for bad copper:

Other tablets have been found in the ruins believed to be Ea-nāṣir’s dwelling. These include a letter from a man named Arbituram who complained he had not received his copper yet, while another said he was tired of receiving bad copper.[18][19]

I remember the space for the full screen ads (exactly what is shown in the picture) over a year ago before I stopped playing.

Being able to take multiple of the same class is also nice. One thing that was annoying in vermintide is if you’re playing with friends and two or more people want to play the same character (Bardin and Saltzpyre were common for us).

While I agree that we need more of the rules codified in law, the law hasn’t exactly stopped them from doing a lot of stuff either.

The developing news part does complicate things quite a bit. From what I have seen of the discussion, it’s not that they intend to counteract the bias (though perhaps they do and are just hiding behind other arguments), but that they believe there is sufficient reliable sources calling it a genocide and insufficient reputable sources to contest it in the lede (instead saving it for later in the article).

As you say, the Nazis would certainly have contested the relevant genocide claims, but that’s exactly why the editors of Wikipedia have placed less weight on government sources. Whether this bar of “sufficient reliable sources” is in the right place is a separate matter, but these matters are resolved through the RFCs they have. Wales’ statement came directly after such an RFC was held looking to reopen the conversation that was just closed, seemingly in disregard of it. If this statement had been made as part of that RFC, then it probably would have been received more positively.

Thanks for finding that, I’m at the airport so was being a bit lazy, though unless I’m looking at the wrong place it says 34 UN countries have recognized it as of 2025.

After briefly browsing the neutrality policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view), it doesn’t look like stating it is a genocide is a problem except in the case there is no source or there assertion it is a genocide is “seriously contested”. So they can say “the ___ genocide [1]” and aren’t necessarily required to say “____ said ____”. What qualifies as a good source or a seriously contested claim would fall under one or more of the other policy pages I think.

I should also add that while the Gaza genocide page discusses the people who claim it isn’t a genocide, particular attention in the neutrality discussion was placed on the opening sentences of the article which call it a genocide. The first paragraph in an article faces greater scrutiny for compliance with policy because it’s the first thing read and people may not read further.

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “international ruling”, but I’ll try to answer a couple of possibilities.

To quote one user from the rather lengthy thread I linked:

Unless you think we should deny the Armenian genocide, too, because only 30 or so countries have formally recognized it.

This would be one example of few nations recognizing a what is generally accepted as a genocide.

Perhaps you mean the UN specifically. Some bodies within the UN have called it a genocide, but the countries within the UN haven’t voted to declare it as such (to my knowledge). However, many argued that governments aren’t necessarily a good authority on this due to political conflicts of interest.

The ICJ has issued some warrants related to the genocide, but I don’t know if any of their language specifically called it a genocide.

I agree that Wikipedia should be neutral, but given the academic consensus and Wales’ conflicts of interest I think their neutral point of view policy is satisfied. To me it seems like an attempt to dress genocide denialism in the form of adhering to their “neutral point of view” policy, but this being my opinion is of course subjective.

EDIT: it does look like they discuss the opponents to calling it a genocide in the Political Discourse section of the wiki page

EDIT2: fixed some formatting in the quote, some of my text was accidentally included

Except less than a month before, Wikipedia concluded an RFC (request for comments) discussing this exact issue where 2/3 voted to call it a genocide. He could’ve argued for it here.

The argument primarily stemmed from governments which claimed it was not a genocide, which would also apply to other accepted genocides. He said that academics should not be considered above other sources for deciding to call it a genocide despite it being established policy on Wikipedia that academic sources are held above other sources. So basically going against well established policy which is applied to the rest of Wikipedia in direct conflict with the community consensus.

Wales also is a self described ally of Israel and has received monetary awards from them which presents a conflict of interest. If you’d like to read the whole exchange (or part of it) you can do so here. When people link to pages in the WP namespace (e.g. WP:NPOV) they are referencing established policy

I think they’re asking about the government’s refusal to use the money for SNAP they were given in case of a shutdown. I believe it would just be sitting in a bank account somewhere.

This does not answer your question at all, but your confusion reminded me of this, which you might find amusing

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about one. It was the gymnast, right? I forget the name.

In one of the episodes where Jake is going on a date, Jadzia mentions to Ben that she has been both a mother and a father in her previous hosts. I think this was pre-facial hair Sisko, so would’ve been an earlier season.

“All colors are beautiful” -> ACAB

I also just got one, don’t know what was installed on it before as I immediately installed Linux, but I now use that key to toggle fullscreen mode on virtual box. I have to use some Microsoft applications for work so I have a windows VM. If they didn’t shove all this A”I” stuff down your throat and take away your control over your device so that they can spy on you then I’d probably still be using Windows for everything.

Also it took 4 days for this “apology”?
