@Luanti@floss.social EDIT: I seem to have been misinformed, please ignore me.
Feels a bit ironic to complain about AI if afaik you also use it (and furthermore therefore can't actually say that you don't have any proprietary code in it)…
@Luanti@floss.social
Those AI systems are "shoot first, discuss after".
I just hope the counter-notice will not be manage by another AI ...
@Luanti@floss.social I absolutely utterly do not want to play this or anything else like it on a smartphone. (For me this belongs on PC or a console.)
I may install it from F-Droid anyway just to make a point.
Which assets?
Cubes, obviously. Everything that is cubic belongs to Microsoft now! Including all cubism art. Or something 😅
@Luanti@floss.social Yay, another complete BULLSHIT copyright claim! Just what we needed.
I love how you went out of your way in your blogpost to show HOW bullshit it is, even by showing literally all textures including in Luanti. 👍
This also proves yet again how important it is to also have libre games (and game engines) hosted on NON-Big-Tech infrastructure as well, because Big Tech can backstab you at any time (like it just did).
Speaking of Big Tech: Ditching GitHub when? 🙂
@Luanti@floss.social Tracer btw. claims to be using "AI For Good" by... doing shitty brand protection 🤨
@Luanti@floss.social This is the reason I don't trust Microsoft and Google, I still won't stop using #opensource. 😡
@Luanti@floss.social Resist! ❤️ 
The #DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct is yet again used by corporations to easily takedown legal competitors. Let's also use an AI to do automatic accusations to kill even more competitors! Bleah!
I hope Microsoft will share a big "whops sorry" as soon as possible.
@Luanti@floss.social Very unfortunate, and not the first time that Tracer.AI has erroneously bullied projects. Maybe @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social could talk about it in the next weekly news to give it more reach.
@Luanti@floss.social I'm so sorry this happened and that you have to spend your valuable time and energy to fight these claims. Copyright laws are not functioning as they should when the stifle innovation :'(
@Luanti@floss.social I hope things get better for you guys, you guys made the superior game engine, hope everything pulls through okay :)
@Luanti@floss.social Since #Microslop getting more and more hostile towards free software … What’s the official stance on not leaving GitHub in light of this situation?

@Luanti@floss.social well, at least it's still on fdroid, and in every Linux distro and BSD package repository. 😁
