I can’t lie, being accountable to nobody is pretty damn good. Like any action I take I don’t need to consider someone else’s feelings.

Ah, so I found the rules for this sub and I don’t see one that would have prevented me from asking my question.

The rules said no support for lemmy questions, which mine wasn’t.

I guess you could argue rule 5 if you’re being pedantic, the rule about creates discussion. Which I would argue my question did.

Thanks for pointing me in the correct place.

I guess “Capitalism” (image) is akin to my life.

I will try again, but I will say it’s quite difficult to want to play again knowing you might lose whatever you’re doing. So I’ve been on but kept saving every few minutes and I’m not sure if I should just do as I did and leave it until it crashes.

I’ve also been going back and forth between windows more than I would as I’m nervous about it 😞

If you could point me to the posting rules, I would be grateful so I can better find the best community next time.

I assumed AskLemmy implied you could ask anything, evidently I am wrong but I’m happy to learn how to understand the posting rules for each community.

I don’t actually think it’s the game that crashed though, more windows crashed and that prevents me saving, but when I try to save it corrupts the file.

I will have a look into the third party launchers though to cover all bases.

I am with you on I just want to install and play. I’m a nerd but I don’t have time to be a Linux nerd as well as an MC nerd too.

I’m glad you’re considerate enough to not just post a comment about hurr durr don’t use windows (as it really does help with this situation).

Yes yes Linux is better I know this, you know this, we all know this.

But… I’m a software developer that is dealing with nerdy stuff all day long. At the end of those days I just want a simple life and not have to be a nerd.

That said if this continues to happen, I guess I’ll have to go back to Linux but it’s been a minute and I’m just not ready for that rabbit hole as inevitably it will stoke the nerdiness and I’ll have to set it up the way I want otherwise what’s the point haha

Thanks for pointing out mods for auto save backups as I’ll have a look at those.

I agree it’s quite perplexing.

So yes you’re correct in that I can still play the game, like 90 mins after windows seemingly crashed. Once I decide I’m not playing any longer and come to save is when I realise that the whole of windows (aside from the game) has crashed as I can’t load the task manager or even shut down and have to just power off.

So I have duel monitor setup and I play fullscreen on one of them, but that screen still shows the start start menu (taskbar) whatever it’s called.

I will try those tips you suggested, once I’m less pissed off about the whole ordeal (which I get is silly as it’s just a game, but that game offers me a release from the stress of life and so I don’t appreciate the stress it’s causing).

I’ll update once I’ve tested. Obviously on a throwaway world.

Reverend went hard!

There isn’t a party leader that is interested in making any real changes that don’t happen within their term. They’re not motivated to be the best person for the world as a whole and really they’re motivated by the short term and re-election.

Oof.

I feel like this was a joke that nobody got.

I do.

I use SimpleLogin and ProtonMail.

Some sites have I’ll actually know you’re using SimpleLogin though and just say no, but they’re few and far between.

You could also use your own domain if you have one or buy a cheap one.

Then you can create as many as you like and just kill them as and when you need.

SimpleLogin has plugins for all browsers and phones so it’s not too difficult to create new addresses.

Ah survivorship bias.

I agree it’s still good to know these things.

I also think there should be reasonable limits on what data they can try to access. Like do Uber need to know my location? Obviously, whilst I’m using the app, but they absolutely don’t need to access my contacts.

I suppose it depends on why you’re learning a thing. If you’re seriously trying to learn a language then using a variety of tools that cover different aspects of language learning is vital.

For me and Duo (Spanish) I’m on a 438 day streak and I couldn’t talk to someone but I could read enough to get by, but I am not learning Spanish to learn Spanish. I know that sounds ridiculous, but learning new things for me is more about the journey and having fun along the way, without having any pressure of this is my end goal. I just like learning different things and often just move on as my curiosity changes.

That’s not to say that I don’t learn some things with an end goal, as an example I’m a junior software developer so I had to be more structured with that.

Duo has 6500 Spanish words too.

When it says purchase history, surely that’s not all your purchases?

Also, on iOS at least, many of these would ask for permission and be met with a “that’s a no from me dawg”. Things like photos, contacts, and location data for instance.

Although useful it’s hardly on par with Duolingo.
