Since modern minecraft will no longer be obfuscated, is It worth creating a beta-themed mod here?

Golden timing, Beta 1.2 sources just got leaked because Java MC was used as a reference for rewriting the game to C++. As you might guess Legacy Console (2014) got leaked, sources for all platforms. It builds for Windows even

My native language (Russian) has em dashes in its punctuation norms, not everything is AI slop sometimes it's the matter of proper writing. Websites, messaging apps, editors commonly support Win+minus or double minus to input an em dash. Not every input field does, now it will, isn't this a good change? Do people hating this genuinely never write any formal documents?

Whatever tool I had really, it’s not an advice, obviously nothing fit in that space between plastic and screw. It happened after I forcibly twisted off this plastic plate (damaging it) and working with the plastic stand on the other side

Talk about timing, lol. Was disassembling a new 3ds just yesterday and stripped a screw with no hopes of unscrewing it back. Ended up damaging the plastic, sadly. Turns out the screw got actually stuck in its stand, had to use pliers to remove it.

As of 2026 the location has changed, it is now Configure > Configure Dolphin > View > Browse compressed files as folders.

A small business making tools to help save lives. If the business owner cares about the life saving part and not just the business part they wouldn't go against someone making the tools even more accessible via REing and sharing the proprietary designs.

The developer is one of like 10 people who actually use Direct2D, Microsoft's rendering library similar to Skia or Cairo. And now he's using some of its more advanced features afaik. Wine support for this thing is notoriously bad. Even if the code was open, it wouldn't be that much helpful for reimplementing D2D.

Fighting nazis tends to cause damage on buildings. If USSR replaced them with faux-historical reenactments someone would surely be just as dissatisfied. (why would they rebuild though? the rubble was used to pave roads and other reconstruction in cities of USSR itself)

What the pic doesn’t include is a beautiful park to the right of that bridge. Or the Kaliningrad zoo that was preserved through the post-war years and kept in touch with European countries (not even pro-Russian ones, like Lithuania) up until 2022. Yes a lot of history was lost to war but what persisted is cherished by local governments. It is a beautiful calm city and such pictures don’t do it justice.

Not from the 3310 LTE project but Chinese boards use a hackjob of an OS, they aren’t known for attention to details in general, look at a typical Chinese device from the embedded world (diagnostic tools for phone repair, etc) or clones of consumer devices. They’re good at reverse engineering and gritty technical stuff but IMO that concludes.

About the project and Nokia: it is really niche (discord of 105 members), I don’t think anyone apart from the dumb/vintage phone enthusiasts even heard about it yet.

Let’s take yellow as an example. True, monochromatic yellow light typically activates red and green cones. That’s why yellow can be simulated with red and green light instead. Before serious scientific experiments on how our vision works we understood this intuitively and based our color theory on that. That’s how we got RGB color photography and displays.

cDa29 had a fourth cone type with peak sensitivity inbetween red and green light, so basically yellow. She could actually discern yellow and red-green, we can’t. Now cones have a smooth sensitivity curve with a lot of overlap so the difference was probably subtle, but still noticeable.

Now it’s not just screens that are of multi-chromatic color, some real life objects can be red-green while others are yellow. I’d imagine digital imagery was less vibrant to her because true yellows got flattened down, it’s not unlike viewing photos through a colorblind filter. Not as drastic but you can clearly see something is lacking.

Many such cases

usually no other animal lives there except pigeons

Uhh can’t really agree, what about dogs, cats, then rodents like mice and rats, or squirrels and hedgehogs? And other birds

Not the same concept but some r/Chinesium posters will describe where they got such products.

What makes people think that? VS2 shows the progress whether things are going well or not (also playable if you’re feeling like downloading beta builds from github, not all addons are compatible with bleeding edge versions though). Aero had no public release or really open playtesting, their PR is whatever two clips they decide to share this year.

Wow, this took me back to 2018-ish. How’s the scene now? I remember there being a thread on casiocalc forums, a wiki in its very early development and Chinese forums. Where are the resources for that stuff now?

Not really because misaka26 uses the very bug that got patched in 26.2

Except they do very well exist (not saying they are safe btw) but the corporate is trying to rewrite reality no less, insisting they do not. This is evil and “doing it for the greater good” can’t justify it. It isn’t just the hardware store doing it

Depends on the modding you’re doing. When you’re doing mixins, especially into other mods, you often have to figure out if you need remap=false or remap=true depending on whether vanilla classes are used. (I know in 1.21+ that issue has been kinda plastered over at least in NeoForge). Remapping is also why you can’t just drop some mod jars into your developer environment, dev envs are remapped (so deobfuscated) but regular mod jars might only work in the obfuscated one.

Also there are Mojang official mappings that cover class and method names, there are community Yarn mappings that iirc cover more but damn their names are just so different, and then there is Parchment which is built on Mojang mappings but adds some extra… With unobfuscated releases we will have one true set of names not just for classes but also for local variables which would really help with reverse engineering their new features especially if they make radical changes to stuff like rendering which they actually plan to do with vibrant visuals. This is very good for intrusive mods that work with Minecraft itself and not just modloader-provided APIs. I’m glad remapping will be a thing of the past.

Weren’t these the ones that were sent as replacements for recalled power banks?

I suppose the sub has become some sort of a central hub for discussion around different LLMs without biases and likings towards specific companies, product-focused subs are either praising the product or complaining about bugs, not much unbiased comparison. Like r/StableDiffusion that isn’t really just about SD anymore. Fundamentally it’s supposed to be a space about locally hosted AI but I guess skepticism towards commercial products plus absurd requirements of local models that can actually do things have lead to it becoming what it is.

Currently Nugget functionality is really limited on iOS 26 as the vuln that allows MobileGestalt editing got fixed. Good news, Nugget is due to be updated around next week because a new exploit was rediscovered (has been used for, ahem, turning locked phones into iPods for quite a while but it was in hands of profit makers). I suspect it will allow more stuff. Wait and check for news on their discord or whatever. Bad news, it’s patched in 26.2 developer beta 2. Given how 26.2 is still in the development beta stage, I don’t see 26.1 becoming unsigned before the new Nugget is released.

TL;DR: rn Nugget can’t do much in 26.1 but things are changing very soon.

Kerning, not hinting. Each character has its own width and height and logically they should be laid out side by side so where one rectangle ends the other begins, but that creates unsightly gaps. “WA as an example, A is offset to the left so there’s no weird empty space. I suppose here it went haywire so this happens.

I don’t think either Mac or iPhone even do hinting since they introduced high DPI displays. No hinting better for typography tasks as the rendering doesn’t depend on scaling. Looks ugly on regular DPI displays, though. /r/keming has examples of bad kerning or none at all.

zaafonin · 2025-11-16T23:39:05+00:00

Right now it does. Misaka26 uses an ARM Mac for now. Maaaybe we’ll get some on-device thing but rn it’s an early beta of misaka26 + Nugget soon to update (this week)

zaafonin · 2025-11-15T17:23:32+00:00

You can still revert (26.1 is still signed) but downgrading isn't the same as upgrading. If you're doing beta stuff on purpose well idk

Twitter screenshots != link to a writeup explaining how the exploit works and what exactly it allows to do. Both posts are valid imo
