Minecraft

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

The previous maintainers deleted the MSA key, preventing the PMC launcher from authenticating Microsoft accounts.

• A fix was provided on the discord with a new API key for existing installations, and the new API key has been committed to the github project (Source) (A)

Thanks for this, and the info in general!

What a cluster fuck. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out, especially after the dust settles.

Uhh idk, maybe just take some time, plug in a mouse and keyboard and install MultiMC the hard way? PolyMC is dead because of the takeover and tranny bitching, and the tranny fork will most likely be even worse. The Deck is running an Arch fork, it shouldn't be too hard to just install it manually.

Here's a comment that I really appreciate. The guy takes a pretty good stance on this issue.

Unfortunately the owner of the site did not appreciate that comment as he is a massive faggot, and it pissed him off so much that someone had a different opinion that he locked the comments.

What a fucking faggot. What is the point of writing an opinion piece if you're going to immediately disable the comments? You're not proving your point if you just ignore alternate points of view, you're just proving that you're a little bitch who can't stand people not agreeing with you all the time. Faggots are retarded.

His account could be suspended by any Trusted User on AUR, not really by maintainers of Arch Linux itself, Trusted Users are essentially jannies for the User repository (not the official core/extra/community repos). Actually it might be quite a difficult situation because there seems to be a difference between the Maintainer in the AUR and the Maintainer in the actual PKGBUILD itself. Looks like lovetocode999 wrongly made the PKGBUILD.
Might be possible that the kicked off maintainer (lovetocode999) will use it to their advantage trying to get the AUR entry for their ownership.

Scrumplex seems to be taking over the reins of the project as he was prominent in the developer discord and on the FAQ page for PMC (he was the one who made contact with the MMC devs after the split).

He is also the one who seemingly reinstated the CoC (Link)


He also appears to own both the main and some of the derivative AUR projects for PolyMC as shown here (Link)


And on the PolyMC git AUR project his name is in brackets next to lenny (the dev) (Link)

[Solid Hyrax]

I don't really know my way around Github, I check the commit history, and some other on the insight tab but it seems like this Lenny dude, while he is the current owner of the repo, wasn't always the owner. Am I wrong? It kind of reminds me of the freenode takeover. Please enlighten me, if I'm wrong.

 

[John Freeman]

Probably because the one time it happened, it contributed to a bridge collapsing and killing several people.

True. Unlike programmers they make real tangible shit with significance and consequences beyond minor inconvenience if they fuck up

 

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

I didn't manage to archive the reddit before it went private, but I had it up on a browser. Here's the screenshot from around 1500 GMT today.

Lenny is listed as the mod, so take that for what it's worth.

Either:
- Lenny himself closed the sub to stem the tide of complaints
- One of the previous maintainers contacted their Reddit janny friends and had the sub locked and/or ousted Lenny

It will be interesting to see what happens with the launcher in the future and how much traction the Prism Launcher fork gets

EDIT to prevent doubleposting:

Some interesting comments on the AUR page of troons seething and dilating. Note Scrumplex and glorious-yellow (maintainer of the package)
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/polymc


The Arch version of PolyMC can no longer be trusted unless built from source.

The flatpak version has also now been taken over and Prism will now replace PolyMC instead of being a separate install
- Flatpak install page: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.polymc.PolyMC
- Recent Commits: https://github.com/flathub/org.polymc.PolyMC/graphs/commit-activity



The PolyMC flatpak will be replaced with the PrismLauncher.

Also the Modrinth (main alternative to CurseForge) announcement. (This user is an admin on Modrinth's website)

(Yes this Emmaffle is the same WaffleCoffee who was kicked from PolyMC and is a member of the new splinter project Prism Launcher)

It's a shame programmers aren't held with enough significance to warrant ignoring the CoC, considering there have been incidents where entities like the CIA used the CoC to boot people in order to install spyware in otherwise boring pull requests that would only ever be audited by anyone sufficiently paranoid about it.

Do you have any links for this? I'm interested.

 

[87q6839b]

it's late and I don't have time to elaborate much

Copied from my post in the thunderdome:

No hijacking has taken place since the owner stayed the same. The troons have instated a CoC. The troons have also done fag branding for pride month and set up pluralkit (a bot for people with split personalities seeking attention), without asking Lenny.

I hope the project does not die, the troons are trying to deplatform it wherever possible (sounds familiar?).

misc info: soyjak party raided the troon discord

Just a slight correction, you're thinking of Fabric rather than Paper. Also while Fabric was a completely new mod loader project built from the ground up to go against Forge, Quilt is literally just a fork of Fabric with more emphasis placed on jannyism and "le community".

Wasn't Quilt started because one of the guys behind Fabric was deemed "transphobic"? It's forks and forks to deplatform opinions they don't like all the way down.

 

[Faggotdog Niggertail]

This PolyMC fiasco is one of the big reasons I didn't even bother migrating my Mojang account when it came up. Not only is Microsoft full of retarded faggots, but a lot of the MC community is full of retarded faggots too. This event is just an example of the amount of tranny retardation that the community seems to mostly consist of. Makes sense as it seems to be just them, some youtubers who won't jump off a sinking boat, and children. And the Minecraft devs support this shit. I'll continue sticking with Minetest, thank you.

 

[419]

That's how I remember it loosely at least. In any case, when your fork of the project has more "community moderators" than actual fucking devs there's hardly any reason for people to take it seriously.

 

[Thorn]

Do you have any links for this? I'm interested.

None at hand, unfortunately. Most I can find with my Google-Fu is people talking about Linus Torvalds himself refusing someone's RNG solution in favor of Intel's, which has an unfortunate naming coincidence with some NSA/CIA anti-encryption effort. There's also this article from Wired from 2007 about the subject, so it's something the tech sector has been grappling with for a long time.

Wasn't Quilt started because one of the guys behind Fabric was deemed "transphobic"? It's forks and forks to deplatform opinions they don't like all the way down.

More like he didn't really care all that much that they had a problem with someone in the community being transphobic, iirc. When the initial drama that spawned Quilt went down, they went so rabid that any of their allies still on the Fabric team quit the community out of sheer frustration at being harassed by the very people they were trying to help since they weren't deplatforming people fast enough.

Right, I almost forgot that troon hysteria has gotten so absurd to the point where you're deemed transphobic and need to be deplatformed if you're in shouting distance of another transphobe even if you aren't transphobic.

One of the guys behind the alternative launcher PolyMC just "went rogue" and cut off the access of every other contributor and maintainer, and deleted the Code of Conduct from the repository. @ everyone pings are going off in every Minecraft related Discord server as we speak claiming that the launcher is compromised and telling everyone to stop using it.

[Jones McCann]

This is very fucking common with these "people", when Kovarex told a Redditor to shove his cancel culture mentality up his ass people dogpiled on Kovarex for being "transphobic" to the point where Kovarex himself was confused why he was being called a transphobe despite never saying anything about trannies. They always have to make everything about themselves.

This reminds me of when you start talking about the media and people call you anti-semetic. Really makes you think.

Removing these faggots from the CoC special individual list cannot be tolerated by them. The whole reason they even became trannies is because of the special privileges you get by claiming pseudo-minority status. By saying everyone instead of just the HIV+ and adjacent community, you're effectively removing their whole identity. Trannyism is a cancer.
