This game is becoming what was promised at the Minecraft v1 during the beta.
Minecraft didn't need tons of news vanilla mobs and feature but decent performances and seamless mod support. Minetest is bringing this nicely.

I used it to play Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 a few years ago. That was a pleasant experience, I'm glad they now seems to works with more and more games.
Maybe one day an indy game will use this as an engine

So many confusion. The facts are: a professor of the MIT send highly problematic comment to a whole departement (students included) while the MIT was in a deep crisis and had to resign from his position of visiting researcher. Folowing its resignation from the MIT, he also resign from the head of the FSF. He still has FSF membership.

Quoting: GuestThey have also given Socrates the poison cup for no good reason. So it's not like the average person has changed.

He was planning a coup, hardly what I call "no good reason".

Quoting: razing32Curios what is the best way to handle this.
Should an organization terminate all contacts with an individual for their opinions ?

That has not happened yet. He is still part of the FSF. For the MIT, Grotendick who was a incommensurably greater genius than Stallman has to break tie with the French college when he starts saying that science should stop at his conference.
Some opinion are incompatible with some function, you have the freedom to voice those opinion and loose your function. It's liberal America, you also have the freedom to die from poverty and malnutrition.

Quoting: soulsourceStallman is not wrong about the fact that laws about this topic are different in different countries. Where I live, Austria, consent between a 17 year old and a much older person is legally possible, unless there is a situation of power or money involved.

Which there clearly was. It's hard to argue that a 70-years old academics has no authority over any 17-years old girl. The distinction is made so that you can have someone 19 and someone 17 having sex without problem.

The e-mails have leaked, anyone can take a peak and read what has really be written in it. Better than reading stuff from some journalist that will turn him in either a hero or a devil - he is neither-.

That guy was going to fall one day or another, he writes stupid mail like that on a regular basis. He totally misjudged the crisis where the MIT is and that, this time, it was the one too much.

The stuff at the MIT show is lack on public relation. He can be a programmer in the FSF but he can't be president. I rather have someone better at representing free software. That will let good ol' Stallman plenty of time to finish Hurd.

It is not because some of the english-speaking newspaper have a terrible coverage of the issue that a professor who relativizes rape on a mailing list containing its student don't have to resign.
Even with plenty of bad faith, that part can't be defended.

>Giuffre was 17 at the time; this makes it rape in the Virgin Islands.

Does it really? I think it is morally absurd to define "rape? in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or
whether the victim was 18 years old or 17.
I think the existence of a dispute about that supports my point that
the term "sexual assault" is slippery, so we ought to use more concrete terms when accusing anyone.

Then, he keeps going after a student ask him to stop. When he calms down and realizes what he has done, he was to resign.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: chancho_zombie

Quoting: spayder26but declaring his opinion against laws against consented paedophilia, which is somewhat much more controversial.

pretty disturbing and disgusting.

Well, consented sex with 17 year old is perfectly legal here (Germany)...

Prostitution of a 17 years old is not legal in Germany (nor anywhere in Europe for what mater)

Even without the prostitution part, consented sex will not work either in most tribunal because of age and social position difference.

P.S: Sorry for the double post

Quoting: EikeDoes anybody find it appropriate to do such talk about possible severe crimes without any knowledge of what actually has happened?

I don't think so. The situation appears more and more clearly as sexual slavery of teenager. Saying that an underaged girl taken far from home was totally able to consent and that it should'nt be illegal for a 70-years old academics to have sex for money with a 17-old girl is off limit.

P.S: I don't think the comment shall have been opened on this one, we'll see

Usual message about how minetest is cool to put under any post about Minecraft ^_^
Nah, seriously, if you have'nt tried Minetest, it has become very cool (I will probably stop putting message under every message about Minecraft on the issue, that can soon become annoying)
