Because it’s a supported copy that I know is getting the latest patches and I’m already paying for it…? Also, as long as I can transfer save files, I could use them down the line on a sale copy on Steam for Steam Deck or whatever else.

No, not sure how they handle it. I think the upgrade applies to either a purchased version or Game Pass version, but if you don’t buy or sub, you wasted $35

Anyone know if save game files from the cracked version (aka Steam version) can be transferred to the GamePass version?

Have to buy deluxe. Timed exclusive bullshit.

This article is clickbait. There are exceptions for devices that are “waterproof” or have batteries that last a certain number of cycles.

This isn’t going to change a thing (especially it EU judges allow IP68 to be considered “waterproof.”)

Well I didn’t say it was more secure, I said it was the most secure for most people, which it is.

iOS is the most secure platform for 99.99% of people. Custom ROMs on Android got harder and harder to deal with. De-Googlifying made life so difficult. I finally gave up and jumped to iOS and knowing that I’ll have day one updates for 5+ years on any phone is such a relief.

Everything is backed up, E2EE, and just easy. I used to think about smartphones all the time… Now I hardly ever do.

Exactly, and that’s why the response has been so negative. Every instance that federates with another stores a complete copy of the posts and comments from every federated user.

If the majority of instances do not defederate from a Meta instance, that Instance will inevitably become the primary destination for discussion, even between and by non Meta-Instance based users, just because the communities in that Instance will be so large and active. And even if they don’t, Meta Instance will have a stored copy of every community whose Instance is federated.

Meta will then have carte blanche to collect data on a huge collection of users from outside their own Instance.

I acknowledge that they could get the same data by scraping the public Instances anyway, but still… Fuck all of that.
