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.
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.
I wonder if his goal isn't for Twitter to be successful. I'm wondering if political influence will help to get cushty deals or legislative changes favourable to Tesla or SpaceX.
Why worry about losing $30bn from one hand when you gain $100bn in another?
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
You cannot play default minetest without a game. It comes installed with minetest game (which is a crappy game and more of a modding base). Delete it and see if you can play, yeah?
Roblox isn't a game. Minetest is an engine (providing it's own APIs that game developers use to develop games), and a platform to distribute them. In a sense, Minetest is like Unity or Godot. Games built on Minetest include MineClone2/5, Nodecore, Exile etc.
Seems more than reasonable. In every case like this, I try to ask if I was in their shoes and I had that level of responsibility, what would I do?
I think anyone minded to check our piracy content knows where to find it and can register to one of those instances. This allows lemmy.world to remain a general purpose open instance for people migrating who don't yet know what they are after.
This could actually be an incentive for people to move away from world and that gives a little more space for people to move across and dip their toes in the lemmy ocean.
You suggest it us a bandwagon because many don't like Manjaro and multiple people raised issues. You're guilty of using your anecdotal evidence to rule out the anecdotal evidence of many.
I don't know the exact cause of my issue, I want to use my PC to do actual work. I did some research, reverted through time machine andd tried again in a slightly different way to rule out graphics card driver. It still failed. I want reliability and don't want to become an expert sysadmin. I specifically don't use Arch, or Gentoo for this reason. I dont have to be a chef to enjoy food. Manjaro claims to do more testing. The issues I faced on PinePhone did not happen on the arch version, it was specific to Manjaro. Kubuntu just worked and never broke after. Mint had been working for years. Manjaro is the only distro I have faced issues with. Maybe it was Arch, maybe it was Manjaro. It is irrelevant. I don't use either. Manjaro's reputation is well earnt and non of your shilling us going to counteract the catalog of failures that are widely documented and hard to ignore.
There’s a lot of Manjaro hate from people who’ve never actually used it as their daily driver and are just parroting what other people online are saying.
You first insinuate people who bash it, don't use it, I've made it clear I did with clear examples. Now it's on to blaming the user or expecting users to invest hours and hours to troubleshoot borked installs. Breaking software isn't, and shouldn't be the norm. I've never had it with Mint or Kubuntu, and before you throw a point about it being rolling distros are more up to date, I've been using OpenSuse Tumbleweed for over a year without issue. It hasn't borked once. Failure rate on Manjaro is higher and when you dig into how they operate, there are clear reasons why.
It seems you were very lucky in your Manjaro days, and now because you somehow avoided getting run over crossing the motorway blindfolded, you think everyone's experience is like yours.
There isn't a hate bandwagon, and you don't need to defend their honour. They are not a sports team you cheer on. They are a software project, and need to improve. You defending poor work just enables it.
The fact you raised points, they were disputed and you moved on to separate points to fit in with the theme of "Manjaro good", you're coming across as a Manjaro shill.
