As a Russian, i think 8:28 “God is with us!” Phrase is like a meme to me. TLauncher braindead admins were trying to call up to patriotism and etc, but every person with at least 1 braincell would laugh at that. Adequate people even making jokes with that, like “Two alcoholics are trying to catch a taxi and asked driver to get 3 onboard. Driver asked where is 3rd and alcoholics said, that they are Russians and God with us” Also, it such an irony, to radicalize every non-russian users by calling them nazis or racists. It’s like member of KKK trying to cancel others for slurs

[@limonlx7182]

As a Ukrainian, that part made me especially disgusted. So many Russians are just blinded by patriotism. Can you imagine your own grandma wishing you to be "freed" by the opposing country??

[@meloney]

This reminds me of certain ruling people in your country. Thank you so much for being open minded and looking at both sides, without the need to call everyone the Na- word because they're not from the country and disagree. The whole "patriotism" thing makes people really close minded to the things others say and do. It's like one person can say everyone is a naz I because they don't support us and just do it because we're russian. It's ridiculous and really looks almost like people are brainwashed to not think anymore because otherwise they wouldn't be patriotic. Thank you again!

Calling everyone racist is a tactic that I’ve been seeing a lot more of outside the US. It was nonsense here from the very beginning, but the media and “The Party” in my country has been pushing it for many many years, and forcing it on other countries as a divide and conquer tactic. Why take over by force if you can get people to kill each other for race while spending money and voting for them without choice?

[@ChannelIsDeadSinceImLockedOutD]

I don't use Windows, on my end (I use Linux as my daily driver) when I install a Minecraft launcher (e.g Prism), java gets autimatically installed from the offical repositories. On Windows though I would I have install java 8 and 17 manually for most third party launchers except the offical one which has it bundled.

@@sweet_keksik не, ты всё же немного путаешь. На оригинал был похож лаунчер от ру-м.орг, который имел точно такой же дизайн, но в своём названии и ресурсах ссылался на этот сайт. Там в комплекте была низкосортная неотключаемая реклама и троян, модифицирующий hosts. Затем в 2018 году на базе этого фейка был создан новый, но теперь уже продвигался сайтом тдаунчер.орг. Они убрали прежний троян (и судя по всему впихнули новый, потому что вскоре после этого "обновлённый" тдаунчер начал использовать компы жертв для участия в DDoS) и в старом фейке настроили канал обновлений так, чтобы он автоматически обновился до "нового" тдаунчера. Тебе, скорее всего, довелось пользоваться ещё старым фейком, от ру-м.орг. На нынешнем сайте тдаунчера всегда распространялся установщик фейка "с новым дизайном" - то есть, с платными плащами, скинами и прочей дрянью. Кстати, "старый" TL не такой уж и старый, он до сих пор обновляется и функционально всё ещё лучше своего фейка. Там и кастомизация UI, и автовыбор видеокарты для лучшей производительности, и поддержка Xbox Game Pass даже была, вроде как.

I've personally seen just two pirated minecraft launchers. One of them is TLauncher. The other one is TL (older version of TLauncher, as far as I know), which I've discovered by buying a disk containing a pirated version of the game (I haven't realised that it was pirated until that shop got permanently closed for legal reasons (yeah, you could buy a disk with a pirated game in Russia, that's a long story though)). Just two, and both of them were made by the same team. That's how popular TLauncher in Russia is.

@enrique amaya I know

[@lucasainenco704]

Well, I agree that TL sounds very suspicious, however I would like to explain exactly what the functions you screenshoted do. 5:03 This function sends telemetry about what version of Minecraft you have installed, and has nothing to do with the programs installed on your pc. 5:07 Another basic telemetry. 5:11 Now this is really bad. This way they are logging the ip addresses of the servers and thus they are directly violating your and the servers owners' privacy. 5:19 The cmd mentioned is actually called by TLauncher. You can see the command prompt window pop up when your game crashes and it shows the error stack and displays some launch logs. The Launcher runs Minecraft verbose in order to show these errors similarly how you would run your Minecraft server manually. 5:25 dxdiag cannot alter any drivers from your pc. The option "/whql=off" will enable dxdiag to display information about drivers that were not downloaded via windows update. As a conclusion TLauncher does indeed collect some stuff from your pc. This is a somewhat normal telemetry. Official Minecraft does this too. Your browser does this too. Even your wallpaper engine from steam collects some data. If you really really want privacy, then just don't play Minecraft and switch to linux, start using tor or even better become a monk. From a legal point of view all this data should be mentioned in the "terms and conditions". I am not supporting TLauncher tho. I am saying that your claims about the code are to an extent exaggerated. Stay safe and do not pirate games.

are you sure bro

[@reenouneer]

5:11 is actually used for blacklisting servers in launcher. And this is really cursed shit. Basically they promote servers and one of the most expensive server ad is adding server in servers tab ingame, and if you as server owner refuse to pay overprice(because often they say one price, and then that price can turn out to be many times higher) they just blacklist your server so players can't login on your server from TLauncher. Aggresive marketing, my ass.

what i most hate about tlauncher is once you uninstall it, it completely delets your .minecraft folder yet leaves trays behind with sus exe files.

And just like that, politics is now in Minecraft as well. As a Russian myself, I apologise for my braindead comrades. It's just because without TLauncher they most likely won't be able to play pirated Minecraft (not sure how many pirate launchers are still out there), and that would be a disaster to them. Piracy has become an integral part of gaming culture in Russia, and it's still growing ever so stronger because of current politics and sanctions.

[@PennyLapin]

Piracy in itself does not feel much like a bad action, when the volume of players looking to pirating doesn't overwhelm the amount that give the parent company (Microsoft in this case) money. I bought my account at a time where the price was lower than it currently is, so I know it's become less accessible for people who can't put money aside for a game. My worry is that when people struggle during times of conflict or economic recession, it's easy to form distrust of things that don't benefit you. Malicious people take advantage of this, they give enough of a good thing to satisfy struggling people in order to exploit them. That's what I believe causes this extreme following. I think people are satisfied by what they are given, and either don't think of the chance for better, or are scared that they will lose it.

The new launcher for the java edition that replaced the 1.6 launcher of the game downloads its own version of Java. The reason for it boils down to oracle tightening security on newer releases of the JVM. This means the fix mojang had introduced to allow versions that predate release 1.6 to run in other directories broke when running on a version of Java newer than 8. Forge also breaks when running on newer versions of Java. This being said, Mojang hosts downloads for Java. There is no reason to host your own versions of Java.
