Minecraft as an example of desirable graphic properties :D It sure has its style and I stand by what I've always maintained about gameplay being infinitely more important than polished graphics, but that does sound ironic to my ears!

Sounds like one should be able to get a long way if you put down, say, 2 years of the new license fee and then never have to pay again I guess the trouble is that game companies can't really band together and pool money to make a good

Are there no fonts that are open for anyone to use, like what does a Linux distribution ship? Surely those can render Japanese characters? Maybe it's because it's a dumb question but the article doesn't really set the stage f

Who is the target audience of these free releases? I don't mind free and open information sharing but I have wondered what's in it for the people that spent unholy amounts of energy on scraping, developing, and training

I see it more as an extra reason to use it: - If only criminals want privacy, privacy becomes suspicious - If more people use an open OS, it's more profitable for commercial entities to not put in extra effort to block these devices du

Interesting perspective. As an OSM contributor, I've never had this thought. You presumably spend up to 8 hours a day mapping, all week long (depending on the week perhaps), which I can totally imagine gets old. I only map when I feel

I was afraid of that as well given the wording but, no, it's nothing to do with third parties at all. Just when you log into a new device, you confirm it on your old device so it knows it can transfer encryption keys for old messages t
