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)

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?

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.

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.

No arguing there, the specific situation is shit either way

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’.

Imagine feeling like your phone’s brand defines if you’re poor or not lol

I like the contrast with this comment about how web is starting to do too much. I agree with both sentiments, so it would be great to find the golden mean.

In the Netherlands, it’s either “Jan Smit” (both a very common first and last name, but also a local celebrity’s name) or “Henk de Vries” which IIRC is the most common name here.

I also vaguely remember some old Dutch forum naming everyone Henk de Vries by default.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this rule would help with that. Removing a glass back has always been shit compared to just clicking off the plastic ones
