Stumbled upon this: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/black-white-2001-open-source-game-engine-sees-a-first-release/

Good timing for revisiting this classic.

I didn’t follow everything he’s been doing but I don’t understand the negative sentiment. Populous and Black & White were fantastic games IMO. But these games are old so maybe this view of him as a liar is more recent development.

And the Greens thought the economy ministry would be the biggest opportunity to enact green changes. But the FDP knew that nothing could stop change as effectively as having the finance ministry… And amazingly they got it. Surely because Scholz is not an idiot and knew that this would lead to a balance of power between his two coalition buddies, in a way stabilising his weak chancellorship.

You can’t always get what you want in a coalition government.

Sure everyone’s free to use it or not, contribute to it or not. That’s not related to my argument. I was only talking about making a connection between someone’s political views and how much trust they deserve when it comes to e.g. security.

So you think you can draw a connection between someone’s views on inclusive language and whether an individual or org can be trusted with software security.

I’m sorry but to me this line of thinking is bonkers. The two things have nothing to do with each other whatsoever. What if a conservative individual argued that they have trust issues with an open source project because it features inclusive language now? The person might argue that they don’t understand why devs would devote their limited time to such cosmetics instead of focusing on code quality. How would you view this argument? On Lemmy it would probably be ridiculed, and rightfully so. Yet it’s the same line of thinking that I see if I interpreted your comment correctly.
