  • It does not unfortunately because the Hypervisor used is specific to Windows, and Wind doesn’t allow the kind of Ring 0 access required to make it work. Maybe in theory it could be done with custom software but it would be difficult and it would be better to just use a VM to run it or emulate a console version of the game.

    I think the real promise when it comes to HV bypass is it paves the way for other people to work on new cracks. Which isn’t easy by any means but could be made easier by the use of AI tools meant for decompilation (something many purist crackers would turn their nose up at for some stupid reason).













  • It’s really hard to find servers which actually use alternate auth servers like ely.by or littleskin.cn like as actual auth servers and not just a skin server.

    I think this is largely for two main reasons.

    1. It’s way more complicated and less easy to set up authlib-injector on a server
    2. There’s pressure and stigma in English speaking Minecraft communities not to.

    If it were as easy to setup on servers as it is on the client, we might see servers that use it in non-English countries like Brazil, Russia, and China. As it is though it’s too complex and a password mod that remembers your client username is simpler to set up.

    Offline mode servers are way less common in English speaking communities for the second reason. I really wish more people would build them and tell the neoliberals in the Minecraft community whining about piracy to shove it.













  • I’ll shed some light on the nature of the harassment, they were making fun of one of the mods for being a recovering alcoholic (they literally encouraged that mod to get drunk and kill themselves), they impersonated the mod and acted stupid. They made a lot of spam accounts and posted porn in threads discussing the mod. Many people also harassed me as well in my DMs (porn, death threats, the works). Absolutely inexcusable.

    But there is no ethical use of AI.

    Let’s be very clear here. dbzer0 is anti intellectual property. We do not support IP laws or arguments here, they and their apologists are seen as liberal garbage here. So any of the arguments about plagarism or “sTEAliNg aRT” are not only invalid arguments here, they are not respected by this community, and people here will laugh at you (and probably ban you) for spouting such liberal nonsense in a leftist space. It is baffling how many people come to dbzer0 with these arguments when it’s written on our front page that we are leftist-anarchist and fundamentally against intellectual proptery.

    Arguments about power and water usage are valid concerns if we’re talking about openAI or datacenters. However on dbzer0 people almost exclusively use their own hardware (their own GPUs) or they use computing power from volunteers. That’s to say they use consumer hardware. So the environment arguments don’t work here. Unless you also believe gaming is hurting the environment, and that we should all conserve our computing power.

    Me, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com and many others have had these arguments often, and no one has presented any other compelling reasons beyond:

    • Intellectual Property
    • Environmental Harm associated with Datacenters
    • Shitty AI corporate practices
