@bluestaggo yeah this thing. i’d assume it would’ve downloaded by now https://files.betacraft.uk/launcher/assets/lang/1.09_17/English.txt
@bluestaggo is it normal for the window to be blank while the terminal says its downloading english.txt from the betacraft site
@bluestaggo fedora docs points to temurin

@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins @AppleAmps idrk about pornography but i’d say that reading star wars and harry potter as fascist is a bit less of an issue with star wars (and maybe harry potter idk) and a bit more of an issue with the hero’s journey lol
everyone's gonna play Super Climb Up!! when it comes out on the 20th and make me so so happies right? :)
@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins @AppleAmps ig just. “deeply uncultured [and] endlessly sex obsessed thugs” feels like a combination of the american stereotypes for black and gay people. and like. even if it’s true and you know the median working class brit in and out, are these things (except for the “thug” bit) actually problems? or are they just nontraditional personality traits?
