Multimc is abandoned afaik - Prism is the actively maintained fork now

(MultiMC still works fine I think for vanilla but it's a pain for managing fabric mods compared to prism)

The Acela (faster one) is also several times a day now, but it's more like every 2-3 hours instead of 1

Boston to NY is more like hourly - Amtrak has a lot of trains going on the line from Boston to/from DC (DC also has a very good transit system for the US at least from what I've heard).

The problem with those trains is that they're expensive and slower - the Amtrak northeast regional costs $75-300 (depending on the date and time, as Amtrak is a company and charges more around holidays and during peak travel hours 🙃) each way from NY to Boston and takes ~4-4.5 hours. Driving can take 3.5-4 if you plan around rush hours in both cities.

If you can do an advanced lobby in a Celeste modpack you definitely have skill!

Also +1 for Celeste and Strawberry Jam

which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was

I don't think I'm alone in saying "light" and "well-optimized" are not words that fit the Windows 8.1 experience.

Mediocre in almost all aspects is the best descriptor for 8.1 and honestly that's pretty generous given how bad 8.0 was

A lot of sheep need their wool sheared off in the summer to survive. They'll die of heat exhaustion if it isn't. That being said, it's entirely humanity's fault for selectively breeding those sheep and probably not the case for wild ones.

Lemmy.one shut down so I wouldn't use that one anymore

I use refind also, there should be a setting somewhere to let refind scan entries from other EFI partitions. I have that setup and just created a second EFI partition for my Linux setup, so that Windows has no idea Linux even exists. I even have everything running off of the same drive (my laptop only has one nvme slot) and I haven't had any issues.

Please don't throw one of the only cities in the country with a semi-functional public transit system into the sun :(

Didn't know it only applied to UWP apps on Windows. That does seem like a pretty big problem then.

I don't still have a Mac readily available to test with but afaik it is any application that uses Apple's packaging format. It could also be that it needs to be in the "Applications" folder, but I'm almost certain it isn't an App Store exclusive feature.

I mentioned Linux specifically because something like this is the hardest to set up on Linux. I (wrongly) assumed that since you were complaining about it not existing, you were on a platform where setting these permissions up isn't straightforward. App-specific file-acess permissions are on MacOS out of the box as a configurable setting for all applications (in the system settings menu), and I'm pretty sure Windows 10/11 has something similar in its settings menu as well.

Edit: Also, if we're being pedantic, this is also a setting on both Android and iOS, with Android displaying the option to change access pretty much every time you pick out a file.

Not sure what platform you're on but on Linux flatpak can limit access to files, and things like AppArmor can do that for any native app as well (though it can be pretty tedious to configure)
