Review sites have historically been almost worthless in judging how good a game is (user reviews are where it is at). However, I'm really hoping this game is good. Homeworld 2 was great; another installment would be quite welcome.

I got in on the 72 hour early access and have spent quite some hours in hw3, because it's so beautiful and such a return to the brilliant originals, with all the modern bells and whistles. I'm going back to play more now, but seriously, this game is just fantastic.

Promising. Not that I trust game reviewers to do a 3D RTS that hasn't had an entry in over a decade, justice.

The signature is a great idea. This should become more popular where people attach licenses to their content. Lemmy would then make it optional to display the content license.

These are just growing pains of a evolving ecosystem. But net net all of these additions are good

To be clear, I’m not objecting to applying a license to content.

I’m objecting to shoving a license in everyone’s face that’s bigger than the actual content.

Originally, I just had the Creative Commons license number, with no description, but then someone was complaining about not knowing what that was.

So then I changed it to just be a description of what it is, with no license number, but then someone was complaining about that.

So then I had both at a regular font size, but someone was complaining about that, so I shrunk the font, to be less conspicuous.

But then some Android/Apple clients don't display the Lemmy subscript/superscript fonts formatting properly, and I get people telling me it looks ugly, so I have to tell them to get their UI clients devs to fix their client issues with fonts, or to use the web client UI.

And finally, now, I have both the description and the license number in there, in a smaller font, and educating some people about their mobile clients formatting smaller fonts bugs, aaannnnndd, somebody's still complaining about that.

If it bothers you that much, Feel. Free. To. Block. Me.

The formatting is broken btw, at least looks that way on Thunder. Like there is an extra whitespace before the ] and hence, it looks like text and not a link.

There's an issue with some Android / Apple clients that don't render subscript and superscript fonts correctly. The web client doesn't have this issue.

You'll need to speak with the devs of your client to have that fixed.

You can refer them to this page, that has the formatting instructions: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html

it could say 'anti AI thingy'. Small and descriptive.

But what does it do?

Your description is missing one of the key points of it though.

But what does it do?

If you want the layman's version, look at the 'Canonical URL' link at towards the top of the page, and that'll get you to a laymans summary for the license.

Your comment signature is spam

One person's spam is another person's licensing of their content.

Feel free to block me, if you don't want to see it.

and you should feel bad.

This is the Internet. We're all supposed to feel bad/angry all the time about everything, apparently.

Just curious, where does the Anti Commercial-AI bit come from? The page linked does not include that term in the title or summary, and from what I understand of the legal situation it wouldn't make a difference to explicitly mention AI.

It's a description of the purpose of using the license.

and from what I understand of the legal situation it wouldn’t make a difference to explicitly mention AI.

Best not to hijack the OP's post by discussing this here. There's a different post that goes into depth on the subject and of the usage of the license.
