  • I used modrinth launcher since the whole platform is open source afaik. Big fan.

    That said, I stopped playing minecraft since microsoft has perverted everything I liked about it to make it a childrens game with microtransactions. They recently announced ramping up the breakneck speed of updates to make it more like a live service game which may devastate the mod community.

    I since made a voxelibre server which works surprisingly well. I also maintain a minecraft inspired texture pack since I dislike visual change.

    In any case. Good luck.








  • And I‘m with you on needing a phone that works. Sadly, wishing it were in that place right now doesnt help. On the other hand neither does just jumping in the deep end.

    With open source stuff, real people need to help out, either with work (eg testing) or with money, because the „build company, make open source thing, profit“ doesnt really work that way. Companies like pine64 deserve to be flush with money because they actually care to make something thats ours.

    So yes, I also have a main phone for work atm while tinkering with the postmarketOS phone until I deem it stable enough for daily use.

    And thats what I suggest to people who are willing and have at least one old phone they cant or dont use anymore.

    P.s.: the fact that there are this many distinct phones that do at least boot while they are barely able to pay one person for dev work is actually great news.
