- Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain 6 months ago:
I don’t think that Proton sells my data to advertisers or trains AI using my emails and documents. As of laws, unfortunately any service in any reputable country has to obey them. You can always buy a server in some banana republic and set up an email service there, but even then there are some risks.

You can, but people won’t be as thrilled for TES or Fallout without Bethesda, for example.

That still makes USA easy mode compared to most countries.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 6 months ago:
I live in one of the grey countries. You can create an account, but Sony offers different stores in different countries, so you have to pick another country. They even sells consoles in many of the grey countries. The biggest issue is that you probably won’t be able to buy anything without extra hustle because your card is not issued in the country of your PSN account. Also, this is technically against their ToS. But you can create an account to play Helldivers 2.
With that said, I can’t speak for all countries. Maybe somewhere it’s really impossible to create an account without VPN.

Yeah, it’s not about privacy or anything like that. Which is why I don’t understand this decision at all. It’s not like they have to do anything besides public announcements on Facebook. What privacy are they trying to protect?

Kind of. I don’t know rules and traditions of all communities I see on the “all” feed!

- Comment on Take-Two is Preparing for a Mafia Series Announcement, it's Claimed 7 months ago:
You have to conquer areas of the city to proceed with the story. You go to some place like a factory, kill everyone, leave, a boss of the factory becomes alerted, comes to the factory, you go back and kill everyone again to get to the boss, kill or hire the boss. And that’s like 80% of the game. I think there were 20-30 repetitive missions like that with 0 substance. But Mafia I and Mafia II are fully focused on the story missions.

That’s a long lasting tradition to use “we” even in solo authored papers. We believe even Newton did this

No.

That’s the best known case, but it’s not limited to organ donation of course.
they want that slide that says x many million users of Copilot…
I didn’t argue with that.
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 7 months ago:
No, because most people stick with the default option regardless.
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 7 months ago:
Ultimately, most people stay with the default option, that’s why they have to be aggressive. Look at the amount of screenshots even in advanced PC communities with ugly useless search bar enabled, which is taking 1/3 of the taskbar. I’m not even speaking about casual users who have no idea this can be disabled.

Oh, don’t blame people. Don’t bring irrelevant details if you don’t want to distract them from the fucking point.
- Comment on Spec Analysis: PlayStation 5 Pro - the most powerful console yet 8 months ago:
First of all, who are you to decide what I need and what I don’t need? Secondly, okay, 1500-2000 EUR for a mid-range PC. Even the lower boundary is 2.5 times more expensive than PS5. With Xbox the difference is even bigger.
