It was right before realizing I'm in a burnout. Too much in my private life going on, kids, housing, study, full time jobs.
The last time before that must've been years, but I've been holding it in for as long as I could, I now realize.
I prefer good gameplay are fun cutscenes. Both add value, but I preferred the newer games over the old ones, in terms of gameplay.
This doesn't mean either of us is wrong or right, simply that it's okay to have different preferences.
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)
Can you explain what we could do instead? What can US citizens do short-term to help not letting it get worse?
That sounds like it has to get worse before it can get better. Having trump would create motivation to improve things for getting a better candidate next election, something like that?
Doesn't sound like a great option either. It's not like there's a 'good' option, just a 'slightly better' one.
Non-US guy here. I don't get why there's a choice whether to vote for him or not, when you know the alternative is Trump.
It's clear Biden isn't a great option, and there's probably plenty of reasons not to want him. But is any of those reasons gonna get better in the next 4 years when his opponent would win?
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
It's fine to do that kind of work for free for the sake of creating and maintaining a nice community for something you enjoy. It's like charity work.
The problem is that there's a big company that's profiting massively from this 'charity work'.
I'm not sure what it is. I suppose this is the case for the heavier web-applications, but the average website (which is where my expertise is, not actual applications) also feels slightly worse on FF. And as far as I know, I don't use any chrome-specific tricks or optimizations.
