9Minecraft is a website about Minecraft, where you can easily download free resources such as: minecraft launchers, clients, mods, maps, resource packs, data packs, seeds, mcpe, addons, bedrock, and much more. This website provides a diverse repository for the Minecraft community to customize their experiences.

As far as email tracking goes, the main fix is to make sure eMC is set to ask before it loads external images.
Or, if you want to go full nuclear, you can disable HTML in your emails altogether. But then there is something of a security/privacy argument to be made for plain-text emails as well.

I read recently that an average email nowadays contains more than a dozen tiny images. I just went to check my professional email signature: 14 tiny images for my signature alone! That would be a lot of Shift-clicking!

Exactly. I want to 1) Block ONLY the tracking pixels / elements, not other graphic content (sometimes the graphics are useful and/or essential to be able to read or understand the contents of the email) and 2) See who is tracking me.

That would be useful except that a tracking pixel is not an image, or at least it is not an image when the email client receives the message. It is just a link within the message body to external content on the internet, and would appear no different to a 1600x800 pixel image link.

Now it works like a charm. Only
clients behind proxys have connection
problems with the TURN server. Maye I
change the TURN server software as
mentioned here:

Use the extent of the sketched geometry as an input for these methods. As you describe above, you could then for each point / pixel in the response use the geometry engine to determine if it is part of the original geometry.

My web pixel extension works in one development store but not in another. The pixel code doesn't load or fire in the problematic store, even though the GraphQL API shows the correct settings. I've checked permissions, deployment, settings, and browser console for errors. Both stores have similar apps. Clearing cache and cookies and reinstalling the extension didn't help. Any ideas or updates?

I am trying to create the Screencast needed to submit the app, but the same thing happens to me, works on the Test app I created using my account. But when installing on other store (one given by Shopify) it just doesn't trigger anything; I see the logs for the OAuth and everything works well, but the Pixel does not seem to work.

We need someone from the Shopify team to check this in case it's an issue on their side. Otherwise I think the documentation is missing something to make it work properly.

This useful little tool in your Facebook Ad Account allows you to track your website visitors and see what they are doing there. You can then tailor your Facebook ad campaigns based on their actions.

You can use your Facebook Pixel to track conversions from your Facebook advertising. It helps you to measure the success of your ads and will show you if your target audience is completing the actions you want them to.

After you connect your Facebook Pixel with your website, you can continue setting up your Pixel back in Facebook Business Manager or Meta Business Suite (whichever you started in)

Events are the actions people take on your website, and tracking them can help you make better decisions about your ad spending, create custom audiences and be more accurate with the people you target your ads to.

2. Click and it will take you to this screen where you will select the pixel you just created as a data source, name your conversion, add the website URL & conversion value, click Create:

Facebook will show you a list of default events (such as add to cart, or purchase) but you can also choose the custom conversion you created. To be able to choose this, that conversion needs to have occurred at least once beforehand.

All good? Congrats for making it this far! You're probably now an expert on how to create a new Pixel in Facebook.

I believe something isn't quite right when it comes to display scaling in the macOS Remote Desktop client. No matter if "Update the session resolution on resize" is checked or not it seems that the window is always rendered one pixel too small or too big. One way to see this easily is to run an application which does not make use of font smoothing in the remote session. In this example it can easily be seen that the white ADAT_TX text is mangled by the macOS app but displays 1:1 pixel accurate in the Win11 app. The fact that the red text is mangled anyway is due to the video encoding used I suppose - nothing much to do there.

Is there a way to force 1:1 pixel rendering to make the display look right in the macOS app, and even better, is there a way to render the image with full chroma resolution to avoid crushing things like the red text?

I was able to run versions up to 1.12 (the most recent before I got a new computer) on a computer from 2005-2006. Yes, "newer" versions, meaning newer than 1.6.4, ran terribly but they still ran. Also, note that the system requirements have been updated many, many times; the system requirements as of 1.8 still called for hardware from the mid-2000s (but better than what 1.6 had; the recommend for 1.6 is at or below the minimum for 1.8/1.9, which still only needs a Pentium D (2005-2010) and "Intel HD graphics", which seems to specify GPUs from 2010+).

Usually, when issues like this occur, and all versions are affected (FWIW the report states 1.9 under "system details" near the end; since 1.13 the game uses GLFW and will give such an error instead of "pixel format not accelerated") it is due to the GPU not having a proper driver; back in the day it was common for people to upgrade to Windows 10 and suddenly no longer be able to play the game (with the same error as the OP) because there was no Windows 10 driver available for the GPU. Indeed, the computer I currently have even states it doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 so if I upgraded and had issues as a result it would entirely be my fault (on my old computer I had a prompt to update to Windows 10 even though it didn't support it).

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

The macOS nomachine client forcibly does scaling/pixel doubling. This effectively means that I cannot connect to any HiDPI desktop without lowering the resolution, despite both client host and remote host supporting high resolutions.

I know that this can work, because if I use e.g. ScreenResX to turn off UI scaling entirely on the client Mac, the nomachine client stops being scaled, too, and the result looks very good. However, turning off UI scaling on a Retina Mac globally is not a good option, as everything is very tiny then.

So it seems the only way is for the nomachine client to just not scale, or pass the right flag to the system to stop scaling. I thought this should be really simple code-wise, but now I see that nxplayer is linked against Carbon, and maybe there is just no way to tell the (very deprecated) Carbon framework to do so?

This is a bit frustrating, because this one technically tiny (but effectively crucial) thing is preventing me from fully using nomachine. Everything else works fantastically for me, much better than any other remote desktop solution I have tried so far (but all the others support HiDPI).

As I said in my previous article on applying for freelance pixel art jobs, the majority of your time and energy as an artist should be allocated towards the actual creation of the work. However, a crucial and seemingly often overlooked aspect of being a freelance pixel artist is how you work with clients. Even if you are a capable artist, if your interpersonal communication is lacking you may find the prospect quite difficult. Though it can't make the process of artistic creation any easier, being honest, thoughtful, tolerant, and discerning is equally as important as your artistic abilities as a professional freelance pixel artist.

An important thing to remember is that the client/contractor relationship functions in essentially the same way as any other interpersonal relationship. Although all humans are flawed and have their individual social choke points, given open and honest communication, any issue that may arise between two reasonable parties should, in theory, be able to be resolved somewhat amicably. However, there are certain individuals who are just not reasonable or rational and are not willing to play ball. These are "problem clients," and the best way to deal with problem clients is to not deal with them at all. It may be difficult at first, but with experience you will find you can spot the red flags more easily.

Avoid potential clients that try to cut corners in whatever way possible to save money. While many budgets are limited, most non-pixel artists do not have a good idea of what makes something cost less or more to produce, and these sorts of negotiations rarely lead to a successful transaction.

Avoid potential clients who ask too much of you, outside of your actual work. While it's understandable for the developer of a game to want an artist who is as passionate about the project as they are, your normal rate does not account for your excessive emotional engagement. Of course it would be better to work on projects you feel good about and may enjoy doing, but some developers (especially first-time devs) are too myopic to see that no one is as interested in their project as they are. These types of people also tend to ask for the most revisions and re-dos, as they may not actually have a great idea of what they really want or what it takes to accomplish it. You will probably never be able to satisfy these people.
