No. It was communist.

The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not “socialists seeking communism.” When people say a country was/is “communist,” they mean it’s being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it’s achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.

The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.

Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.

Oh this could definitely be it, let the union exist, get the good press, and then fuck them hard in contract negotiations.

Microsoft has actually voluntarily recognized a gaming company union before. It seems they prefer to voluntarily recognize the unions and then fight them during the contract phase, not sure exactly why they do it this way instead of trying to stonewall the first step like most companies.

It’s objectively not. It was great back when Oblivion came out

It objectively is for their use case. What do you want them to do? Switch to Unreal? Switch to Unity? Switch to any other pre-built engine? They can’t, none of those will work for their use case without major modification.

Want them to create an entirely new engine from scratch? I mean, they could do that, but that would involve throwing away 20 years of innovation and experience on this product and would delay any projects massively.

Want them to massively update their engine? They just did with Starfield’s Creation Engine 2.0, which fixed or improved 90% of their engine issues and is a massive overhaul of their original engine.

This is a company that recently sold for several billion dollars, they’ve undoubtedly had a team investigating what they could to do their engine for at least a decade, and they’ve decided that this path is the only realistic one for them.

But I’m sure you know better than the large team that does this for a living. /s

It would be pretty much a copy/paste fix in the engine. They have just opted not to.

You either misunderstood the comment you’re replying to or don’t know how the unofficial patch works or both.

99% of what the Unnofficial patch fixes have absolutely nothing to do with the engine. For example, we’ll use the Skyrim Unnoficial Patch, easily the biggest and most popular. It fixes literally nothing in the engine, it fixes certain models not having textures wrapped correctly, it fixes certain meshes or textures having small errors like clipping, it adds a new flag for a town that didn’t have a flag in the original for some reason, the absolute closest it gets to an “engine fix” is fixes for different scripts that sometimes fire incorrectly.

Literally none of these are engine issues or fixes. Sure, they definitely should’ve fixed them before releasing the game, but it’s not like these are engine issues that have somehow persisted for 20 years. They’re very small bugs with models, textures, and scripts, which are all individual game issues, not engine issues.

The Solar system has vast secrets and riches, all for us, and we don’t have to share, because it’s our system.

That is until we find the massive moon worms whose tunnels we tried to colonize. /s

Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask jewish people living in occupied Palestine

That’s a tiny minority sect of Jews in Israel, a majority of Jews in Israel support the existence of Israel, that’s why they’re there.

A majority of Jews in the U.S. and globally also support the existence of Israel.

Yes, and it has to be competitive to show their true capitalist spirit.

This should be our citizenship test.

The development for morrowind sounds like it was absolutely wild.

Can vouch for Viture being much more open source friendly, there’s a redditor making a plugin for the steamdeck to make it work far better with the Viture’s, and Viture has apparently given them access to some things that Xreal has refused.

Their openness is what won me over for them over other AR glasses. Not only are the willing to help what’s effectively a competing software developer, it’s also incredibly helpful when the product is so niche, don’t have to worry about a company going out of business and your device suddenly becoming a paper weight.

The first game was funded through Kickstarter and a random Czech millionaire who really liked history. I don’t exactly blame them for not having the marketing budget needed to really make to first game as successful as it could’ve.

Hopefully, the amazing success of the first game can propell the second into being the Skyrim level RPG success they deserve.

But you see that small socialist elite proclaims it’s doing it for the working class, therefore it’s okay now.

Don’t look at those prisons full of attempted trade unionists pls.

It’s called second campism, and it’s been happening for a long time, it just used to make more sense when it could actually seem like there was two hegemonic camps during the cold war (still an oversimplistic view).

Now they just support any regime that’s anti-US/the original capitalist camp because they have no hegemonic camp of their own to support, just a broad smattering of authoritarian regimes with completely different ideologies.

There’s a massive massive difference between how Biden’s administration has uses the security state vs how Trump tried to use it last time and will use it next time.

There’s literally no point to draw an equivalence between Trump and Biden than to diminish Trump’s fascism.

Okay but again as has been pointed out to you, that has no bearing on government contracted products like this, whether that’s code or rockets or anything else the government doesn’t want to just share with the entire world.

Why do you think software would be treated any differently?

Okay but that has no relevance at all to what the comment you were replying to was about. Companies contracted by the government and DOD specifically to create rockets are guaranteed to be covered by ITAR. Meaning open sourcing them would be impossible, regardless of the first amendment or anything else.

There’s a massive massive difference between the software for a DOD contracted rocket like SpaceX makes, and hobbyist rocketry.
