14:54 coyote     is NMPR already useful for education?
14:56 Fixer      rubenwardy: problem? (waits for full loading)
15:03 Fixer      rubenwardy: minetest webpage needs more mods listed, stable and proven ones
15:04 Raven262   Wasn't all that about the screenshots that are to be displayed on the site?
15:04 Raven262   I agree that the first one in the page is somewhat empty.
15:05 Raven262   But I thought that it was meant to shaw what minetest is like, most of the time.

17:21 kilbith    there's a reason why singleplayer can't revoke all its privs at once?
17:23 sfan5      the player named by g_settings->get("name") has special behaviour
17:24 kilbith    that I know, but what's the rationale behind this?
17:24 sfan5      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
17:25 kilbith    yet another short-sighted decision, eh
17:25 sfan5      legacy behaviour, rather
17:26 kilbith    yes legacy and short-sighted are often connivent in MT
17:39 sofar      nobody is getting paid to work on minetest
18:30 sfan5      Krock: are you fine with pushing a revert of the version scheme commits to stable-0.4?
18:31 Krock      the PR from rubenwardy?
18:31 sfan5      not exactly, a direct revert of the last two commits
18:31 Megaf      If you could give some love to #6654 it would be greatly appreciated
18:31 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6654 -- error messages not having the mod attached
18:31 sfan5      since when 0.4.17 is released backports-0.4 (which contains these commits) will be merged into stable-0.4
18:32 sfan5      this comes closer to the true intention of the PR actually as its description says "This branch should only hold stable releases of the 0.4.x series."
18:32 Krock      bump_version.sh must not be reverted as far I can see - I'm fine with the other changes
18:32 sfan5      yeah no
18:33 sfan5      bump_version.sh will be updated when backports is merged into stable
18:33 sfan5      i mean it could be kept but reverting both commits outright is easier
18:33 Krock      ah right, I see. It's already on master. Go ahead reverting the comits entirely
18:34 sfan5      ok, thanks
21:37 Wuzzy      Can someone please reply to this question?: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9116&p=300876#p300876
21:39 Wuzzy      (it's basically about why we still don't ship a second subgame)
21:39 sfan5      the thread is not relevant because it's outdated
21:39 sfan5      even if the games chosen in there were good choices, they are no longer good choices now
21:40 sfan5      (that makes the chance of inclusion you asked for exactly zero)
21:40 Wuzzy      so. all subgames are garbage?
21:40 sfan5      wrong conclusion
21:41 Wuzzy      what is the criteria for inculsion then?
21:41 sfan5      the thread you linked is not relevant to a choice of potential subgame inclusion for 0.5
21:41 sfan5      that's all
21:41 Wuzzy      its not about 0.5
21:41 Wuzzy      it's about MT in general
21:41 Wuzzy      sfan5: if the thread is outdated it really should be closed
21:42 Wuzzy      its just wasting everyone's time. the thread is sticky even
21:42 sfan5      will do
21:42 Wuzzy      thx
21:43 Wuzzy      do you even *want* to include any subgame *ever*, even if it meets the quality standards (which I still don't know)?
21:43 sfan5      you're asking me to tell the future
21:44 Wuzzy      lol
21:44 Wuzzy      ok but no subgames for 0.5. thats no surprise
21:44 sfan5      i can only tell you that i'm myself not opposed to including additional subgames to 0.5
22:03 Fixer      Wuzzy: i've already suggested to include your subgame, mineclone2
22:04 Wuzzy      terrible suggestion
22:04 Wuzzy      its still too buggy
22:05 Wuzzy      Fixer: vote thread has just been closed. its no longer relevant and hasn't been for year (apparently)
22:06 sfan5      does this surprise you if there has been no further communication from the devs for a long time?
22:07 Wuzzy      hehe, not really
22:07 Wuzzy      still, having an irrelevant thread sticky is not good
22:08 Wuzzy      hmm you didnt write why you closed it. other users might be confused. 1-2  short sentences would be enough
23:14 sofar      +1 to making that thread unsticky
