It’s unfortunate they couldn’t use a Euro figure which would have made it much clearer.

Ah, apreciate the clarification.

Why does this feel lie a viral marketing campaign to get people to watch stuff on X?

“I interviewed Elon, got cancelled and he mad. Watch on X”. It just doesn’t add up to me.

Edit: It’s not on X, apparently. It’s on YouTube. So I was probably a little out on this. Very clever viral marketing still, but hopefully not to the benefit of X.

I did not know that. He really is a manchild.

Maybe, but I don’t think Musk is running twitter for money. He’s probably doing what every billionaire is doing. Buying media to shape public opinion. Turning twitter right leaning to build public support for conservative policies that will benefit his other business is probably the play.

Why worry losing 20bn when he could gain 50bn for SpaceX(SeX. Just seen that…) and Tesla? Sounds like a good return on investment.

Damn you, internet! I wish you was never born!

That’s even worse. When they’re hiring multiple devs from there, they cannot claim they didn’t know it existed. Also, if the product actually exists, they don’t need to see a patent filing to copy it…

Well if it was their IP, and they had it in a product, it’s theirs. They registered it over 10 years ago. Did Apple just magically come up with the same idea, or did they see and copy it?

A patent troll usually sits on patents they don’t use. This is a legitimate company with products. A small guy that cannot afford to file paperwork for all their stuff immediately shouldn’t be penalised.

One thing that is weird is that apple always has a lot of people ready to defend the big multi-billion dollar corp.

Never heard of them. We sure they’re not leaking this to build their reputation as top hackers? Surely this leak is an advertising gift to them?

I’ve been trying to bury stories that are going around that I have the biggest dick in Britain. It’s hard work.

I’m not sure of any. What’s wrong with Firefox etc.?

Because it is still Chromium… With crypto BS

If Google pay the best search price that funds browser development, why not? Firefox aren’t in the search market. They could easily go bing or yahoo like they used previously, but more income means more money away for building modern web browsers which are millions of lines of code.

Brave don’t need to do that because Google codes their browser for them.

It still is more browser share for Chromium. Business owners will see that share and use it as part of the business case in implementing WEI. If you want it stopped, you gotta use a real alternative such as Firefox.

Or… he’s just a dick. I don’t hate him. Hate is an unnecessary negative emotion.

However, his track record is pretty damning, and if you think people dislike him only because the media tell them, then I’m afraid your ability to see and appraise information is pretty compromised.

MTG - Minetest Game is the game. It’s in the name. Delete it, and you cannot play Minetest. Minetest is referred to as the engine. They renamed MTG and put it into maintenance mode because of the confusion. It was badly named initially. The team have already made the decision to remove MTG by default so it comes with no games. They are just waiting to redevelop the UI so it isn’t so painful when this happens.

Basically, you’re saying because an engine also has a packaging element (contentDB is the packaging and distribution part maintained by 1 developer, it cannot be an engine). It is both.

“Minetest is an open source voxel game engine with easy modding and game creation”. https://github.com/minetest/minetest

Historically, when you install windows, it comes with a game. Does that make it not an operating system?

I’m more inclined to believe the team who make it rather than some random internet stranger though.

Fair point, it didn’t feel like you were in agreement.

Apple has to classify their apps. Do they even have a game engine classification? I’m assuming they cannot class it as a productivity suite…

As for random people on Reddit. We’ve gone and hopefully can move on from the hive mind of regurgitating opinions and use our brains a little more. We’re not hunting karma and upvotes here, we’re here for better discussion.

Minetest fulfils the role of platform because of content db, which is a separate thing with it’s own name, it wasn’t always there, and it’s maintained by 1 person. The rest of the developers code the API’s which are used for making games. You know what else provides API’s for making games? Unity, Unreal and Godot.

Only you, it seems. First I have seen this assertion.

I could go into depth on why it’s an engine, but you seem to have already made your mind up and are going to stick with it regardless.

Edit: Actually, I’ll leave it up to the Minetest project… “Minetest is an open source voxel game engine with easy modding and game creation” - https://github.com/minetest/minetest

I really like MineClone2 (a Minetest game).
