No, I was following the human space campaign just fine (although maybe I didn’t go far enough along it for it to take me to alien space “naturally”).
I’ve also picked up at least one non-randomly-generated quest from the
Hai, namely, the one where you get the Anomalocaris.
I’ve also made it
through the Tangled Shroud to Avgi space, and maybe I’m legitimately on their main questline there (as I currently have a job marker for “Meet up with the Avgi Strike force at Navigeo Yards in the Symphony system” on my map)
It’s just that those last two things I mentioned, especially the latter one, don’t feel all that fleshed out compared to the human campaign.
I’ve wandered through the territories of a couple of other species, but they’re either hostile or I haven’t figured out how to talk to them yet.
Or a trading grind, depending on your playstyle. I’ve barely ever mined in it.
How are they doing on the campaign/storyline, BTW? Last time I played it (a year or so ago) I managed to capture a jump drive and explored a bunch of really interesting areas outside human space, but it really felt like I wasn’t intended to be there yet and the story wasn’t really ready for it.
Luanti (formerly Minetest) is a little weird, in that it’s really just meant to be the game engine, not the full game. Mineclonia is basically a mod that adds back in all the extra mobs and whatnot Minecraft has.
I find it hilarious that a government is sponsoring something with “UwU” in the name.


“Just as” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, IMO. Can they be subverted against the people they are supposed to serve? Of course. Is it as likely as a for-profit corporation doing it? Hell no, I’d say.


Pretty sure he meant something like “not a nonprofit or government entity.”


Why does this need to be a hosted service/web app? Why can’t it just be a regular-ass application?


Since Dodge v. Ford Motor Co (1919), if not earlier.

Permissive vs. copyleft isn’t an issue of more vs. less freedom, it’s an issue of freedom for whom. The “freedom” that permissive licensing gives developers is the power to take freedom away from downstream users and comes at their expense.
Permissive licensing is like the Confederacy demanding the “freedom” to own slaves.
