  • I’m not disagreeing with your sentiment but just pointing out it’s highly unlikely to see the UK go against Israel - from the Balfour Declaration to the Palestine Act 1948, the UK played a critical part in forming Israel as we know it today and are ultimately the catalyst of the war.

    The history of the two states are deeply intertwined and no doubt benefit both parties (e.g a British ally to strengthen access to the Suez Canal).

    Unless there’s a monumental shift in the entire political landscape of the UK (even the rise of anti-immigration sentiment is actually in favour of Israel), the two states will continue their long-standing support of one another.








  • Stallman would disagree with you, I believe. The Free Software Moment has never been about not making money, it’s about liberty with the software you use. Free as in freedom, not free as in beer; free as in libre, not free as in gratis.

    Quote from FSF:

    Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding.

    Actually, we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can.







  • Who are you referring to when you mention most of the people have left?

    Todd Howard, Craig Walton, Matthew Carofano, Christiane Meister, Scott Franke, Ahn Hopgood, Steve Meister, Gary Noonan, Guy Carver, Brian Chapin, Juan Sanchez, Josh Jones, Ashley Cheng, Todd Vaughn, and more worked on everything at least since Morrowind until today.

    It’s quite surprising how little brain drain they’ve had to be honest. It also explains why their game design is dated - it’s been the same bunch tinkering in Gamebryo/Creation for the past 25 years.
