This should be a short term problem. Remember China has banned US contractors from acquiring their rare earth metals, so the US needs to start producing these materials due to the heavy exposure to imports.

There’s a big problem in the production of fighter jets because they (among other issues) need those materials that China is no longer willing to give, leading to contractors acquiring them “under the table”.

In response to this, the US rushed to advance rare earth metals production and invest in rare earth magnets production in Texas, which should start in late 2025. The reason why TSMC is starting a fab in Arizona is because the US’s first rare earth metals refinery is starting there as well, which means it should depend less on imports for these materials.

So hopefully, by mid-2026 it should be fine, that is assuming any of the other countless issues with the US economy don’t explode by then.

Donating money doesn’t give you free rein to be an asshole

If you think he was being an asshole in that sentence, then I guess we’re done here.

Nobody is against the removal of nazis.

They banned “developer” accounts who were being incredibly disruptive throwing a tantrum about the social media account celebrating games with a wide variety of perspectives. I don’t think there’s any actual evidence for them banning a single person who ever did anything useful

Sure, if by not doing anything useful you mean donating money to the project, and saying that the project should focus on the project [1].

They aren’t obligated to let you be in their community

Beautiful statement.

Don’t behave like a raging jackass and you won’t be called one. I’m not obligated to ignore bad behavior either. It’s perfectly OK to call bad people behaving badly bad people.

The fact is the mass banning was not justified, and people were not being “raging jackass”, no matter how many times you call them that. There’s a reason Godot apologized for the incident, yet you fail to see that.

You mean a few github accounts and a bunch of jerks on Discord, which you are bringing up on Lemmy?

No, I mean titanium level backer of the project. What does being on Lemmy matter?

You realize it’s open source and you don’t need their blessing to use it right?

Yes, everyone knows that. What they did is banned developer accounts, thus preventing you from contributing to it.

You’re not entitled to force people to deal with you being a raging jackass.

There it is. The community of inclusion once again unable to express their thoughts without insulting people. Almost comical, but I guess there’s nothing funny about hypocrisy.

That is until they kicked everyone out for being “nazis”

A Russian official has said that the game could face a total ban in Russia

The whole article is based off this unnamed “Russian official” btw.

I’m pretty sure that screenshot is Wayfire, not Weston.

That’s not what this is about. He’s complaining about hardware developers putting more work on kernel developers by making them patch all the CPU vulnerabilities that are introduced by trying to increase performance.
