I love it how my exact search terms, written in frustration, yield the perfect results.

PNG is back!

https://www.programmax.net/articles/png-is-back/ (by Chris Blume)

A new PNG spec was just released! […]

[…] After 20 years of stagnation, PNG is back with renewed vigor!

What's new?

* Proper HDR support (future‐proof, too!)

* Finally recognizes APNGs (animations!)

* Officially supports Exif data

* General tidying up—fixing errata, clarifications, etc.

The kid knows the name of the song when she hears the first few notes of Master of Puppets. I'm proud.

Slack is sending me e-mails trying to win me back with AI after I already cancelled to get away from AI. Something tells me that they didn't delete my workspace as requested, so now I might need to threaten legal action to protect my data privacy.

Automatically adding AI to software that contains user data without prior explicit consent should be illegal. I will die on this hill.

There's no need to stop the game, which can be annoying if you use a lot of mods. Just exit to the main menu.

If you see degraded performance (short freezes) after re-entering the world: it might just be a memory leak from exiting to the main menu. Restart the game to see if it helps before you undo the cloud sync setup.

Example command (you need a junction):

mklink /J "C:\path\to\minecraft\saves\MyWorld" "C:\path\to\dropbox\MyWord"

I had a lot problems recently with my gaming PC, so I needed to reinstall often. Starting Minecraft games from scratch sucked, so I finally came up with this:
- Move the save folder to a Dropbox folder (or if you mod, the whole instance)
- Create a shortcut to it back in the original location, where Minecraft would expect it
- Seamless cloud Minecraft saves
