I agree with the principle of it, but it's also a slow and tedious process, one that the complainer won't benefit from for years, if ever.

Not that you shouldn't do it, but it's not a solution to what happened here.

You're completely in your right to think that. I'm also glad there's an audience that thinks otherwise.

I get the sentiment, even though I wasn't too much a fan of the original series. That said, while sales don't equal quality, nor does sticking to the same thing. Changing style, direction or genre doesn't equal lack of quality. I was quite a fan of Origins and Oddysey.

The real risk is losing the original fanbase, which did happen quite a bit, probably.

A big difference is that, instead of leaving all content behind because it was only hosted there, you still have a lot of content as only a piece of the federated content disappears (or defederates, or paywalls, w/e)

Tried it a while ago, but without any success. I'm limited to a steam deck, and the controls simply don't work at all in when in Frame fighter.

And as an added bonus, trying to open this in "Calendar" would show up a blank screen, that closes again, opening again in "Outlook (new)" on Windows 11.

You'd think Microsoft would get the hang of versioning at this point...

I agree it's not fair, unless there's some human element to it that checks and corrects the AI's choices.

That said, modern AI is pretty capable of recognising something like harassment, I'd say.

Just to be clear, I'm not defending Reddit for choosing AI over human moderation

I agree. What's your point? I'm not defending the choice to use AI for that purpose. I'm saying AI from years ago can't be compared to the current AI

To be fair towards Reddit here, AI now is vastly different and more capable for this kind of stuff than it was years ago.

It's small compared to most flagship phones. I've used a Moto G100 for a few years before switching to the S24, and it's an insane difference

I remember looking into that a while ago, but it's not like I can just instantly hook up my WhatsApp or Telegram account into that, right? I'd need a server to act as a bridge.

And I wouldn't be so keen on giving that kind of access to a random server.

For me, the difference is how they go about doing it. The tracking Microsoft does is baked into the OS you use, for the sake of... well, not for seeing if people in your friends list also use Word or Teams.

Valve tracks a lot of data too, but also seems transparent about it. They show usercount, active players, it shows up for your Steam friends (if you want). And at the end of the day, they don't need to appeal to some shareholders. To me it feels like they track for the sake of their products, not for the sake of selling this data.

That said, I do think I'm pretty biased towards Valve in this, so I'm not sure how fair my view on it is
