  • As a Portuguese person, I’d advise you boycott Portugal at the moment, or at the very least avoid AirBnBs entirely — sadly, they’ve increased to the point where, in many locations, the price of renting a house is higher than minimum wage. Furthermore, even in hotels, many staff get paid minimum salary — a lot of them are immigrants, so they’ll take anything. This means that, through tourism, the Portuguese people lose: rent becomes much higher, companies are incentivized to pay much less, and all of this is supported by the current government, which has refused to regulate AirBnBs and the like.

    I do apologize about this rant; it just seems that you value morals & ethics more than average.



















  • I know how late I am to the party, but here are some ways that Minecraft should be revolutionized:

    • Officialize mods, and make versions into mods (certain bug fixes should exist, but for “useful” bugs, make a toggle). Beta 1.7.3 could be the base/core.
    • Overhaul the rendering engine. An unofficial Discord server owned by Minecraft developers called “Vibrant Vanguard” says that they’re already doing this, and they’re also actively talking to optimization mod developers.
    • Recode in Kotlin. Kotlin is a JVM bytecode language, so it’s still compatible with Java, and has multiple benefits. This would also make the developers clean up code, making Minecraft more performant.
