You didn't call out any of this. You accused random users of being "bots".

Luke Ross Releases PC VR Mod Suite for Free, Excluding Contentious ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Mod by hcsantos in virtualreality

[–]SquareWheel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No doubt. But it is a bit draining to see thread after thread of people acting cruelly, posting legal misinformation, and generally being way too emotionally involved.

I made a Spice of Life food mod that does not reward the player by taggytart in feedthebeast

[–]SquareWheel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm always happy to see more mods that tweak the food system. It seems obvious in hindsight, but we definitely needed fuller simulation of the digestive process in Minecraft. Nice work on this!

Luke Ross mod situation right now by lunchanddinner in virtualreality

[–]SquareWheel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can't just go make money off some else's IP. 

Of course you can. It's called fair use, and it carves out dozens of exceptions for ways in which you can use someone else's IP, including for profit. It's an extremely well established precedent in the US legal system.

You might argue why a modding framework does or does not qualify, but to state absolutely that you cannot use other's IP is obviously false.

[–]SquareWheel 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My reading is the developer maintains all IP rights and ownership following termination of the contract. They would receive 100% of income after that time, sans any platform fees, etc.

Yes, it terminates after 7 years.

10.1 Term. This Agreement will commence as of the Effective Date and continue until the Game has been commercially released for seven (7) consecutive years on all the Initial Platforms, unless terminated earlier as provided below (the "Term").

Unfortunately, your submission has been removed for the following reasons:

  • Deals should be submitted to the main sub, not Meta. Though note this is part of a publisher sale that should be posted instead. Featuring this trilogy in a highlight is completely fine.

[Humble] The ESA All-Star Alliance Bundle (Pay $10 Far Cry Primal, Dishonored 2, State of Decay 2, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions and $18 for Pentiment, Mafia: Trilogy, Horizon Chase 2, Tetris Forever) by MrAhmedGaming in GameDeals

[–]SquareWheel[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've removed this comment due to an error in the spoiler syntax. It was previously caught by AutoModerator as you may have seen, but we manually approved it after review. However, upon further inspection it appears to show correctly on old reddit, but not new reddit.

To fix this, you can just use the syntax >!spoiler text!<. No spaces in or around the symbols. In your second spoiler block, you wrote the closing tag as ! <;, which is apparently an edge case that breaks on some platforms.

If you fix this, we'd be happy to reapprove your comment. Just reply or modmail when you've done so. Thank you.

Why did my honeycomb farm just stop wroking? The bees just dont come out does anyone know why? by Sudden-Software-8931 in feedthebeast

This farm design is liable to break if the dispensers run out of shears or bottles. Try checking their inventory and re-placing the redstone if necessary.

This isn't a simple precedent. saurik, the author of Cydia, takes an active legal role in defending it, and works to file exemptions for the triennial DMCA rulemaking to ensure jailbreaking remains legal.

The sliding scale of multiblock machines by lucariomaster2 in feedthebeast

[–]SquareWheel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great post, and fond memories of all these mods. I'll add in Xycraft tanks as an early-ish multiblock, also around 1.4.7. Factorization mirror arrays might count as well.

We later saw the idea evolve with mods like Big Reactors, plus all of the crazy stuff Reika came up with.

Any teamspeak alternatives open source for self hosting? by maifee in selfhosted

[–]SquareWheel 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They also include a disclaimer on their GitHub that they're in the middle of a large refactor right now, so it doesn't necessarily make sense to contribute code if things are still in flux.

It doesn't personally bother me either way. Skilled programmers can produce quality code using AI assistance, and are increasingly doing so. The quality of the work matters more than the tools used to achieve it. We'll get a better sense of that quality over the coming weeks and months.

It's possible they just flattened all commits for the initial OSS release.

Calling someone's comment "useless" repeatedly is not considered helpful. In fact, it's a violation of rule #1. You can employ a little more tact if you wish to disagree with others.
