Even Stalman treats games as a special category given the artistic game assets. I think he'd still prefer the engine was FLOSS though and I assume the DRM is definitely verboten.

What was wrong with working with Godot that made them want to fork?

I guess somewhere between 6 and 7....urm 6/7 👐 (and my kids say I don't understand memes 😅).

I've heard of him from his contributions to Wheel of Time but I don't think I've read any of his other stuff. He sounds quite prolific given this "universe" seems to encompas multiple series of books.

MI5 aren't a law enforcement agency but a intelligence organisation. They do work with the police though.

somehow I’m angrier about this than you guys.

Perhaps your news sources are giving a slightly biased view of what's going on in the UK?

It's certainly not illegal to protest in the UK - but there have always been public safety concerns. The right to protest doesn't give protesters free reign to cause massive disruption as some of the more controversial tactics of "Extinction Rebellion" had. While Magna Carta was an important document in our history its not an inviolable constitution - for one things most of us are not Baron's. We've always had magistrates and non-jury Judge trails - the current proposals don't abolish them but do change the boundaries of what will automatically be a jury based trial. We shall see if they get through the legislature unopposed.

I was mostly thinking of things like county lines gangs who exploit our current fragmented police system to fall between the cracks.

I'm upset by the recent PA arrests but i have some sympathy for the police here. They have been put in this situation by the government proscribing the org and they have to enforce the law. The protesters know this of course - almost any other formulation of the words "action", "support" and "Palestine" would be fine.

I'm not sure who is referring to them as the British FBI - it seems to be an unattributed quote.

I think this is less to do with emulating the US and more to do with dealing with crime that crosses county lines without having to involve London.

If you have ever read the "thought" process on some of the reasoning models you can catch them going into loops of circular reasoning just slowly burning tokens. I'm not even sure this isn't by design.

I'm on the fence about SFA. The third episode was quite funny but I get the feeling the trials and tribulations of horny zoomer students at Star Fleet 90210 might not be aimed at my demographic.

There are plenty of deep cut references to the lore though and production values are much higher than when I started watching Trek.

Evidently the whole population didn't move left because he won his second term with a popular majority.

I can understand parties triangulate because the center are where most of the reliable voters are. As you go further out both left and right it gets harder to maintain an electoral c coalition.
