And hungry dog in the bottom right

Depends on your needs. There are a whole lot of great games for the PS5 (my partner finished Blood of Dawnwalker just a few days ago) and most of them run really well but let’s be honest, 95% of what you want to play is also available on PC.

If you are looking for something to just plug into your TV, sit back and play a game, go ahead, buy a classic or slim PS5 they are great. I wouldn’t recommend the PS5 Pro. Sure, it has a bit more power but so far I haven’t encountered any game that would have needed it and I doubt many will come out before the end of this generation. If you have enough budget for a PS5 Pro, you probably have enough budget for a Steam Machine instead.

Statistical models are not technically algorithms

Which makes “opt out of algorithms” even more wrong.

They should define a bare minimum baseline of data points that should be made available to users to control the content they want to see

I’m not a fan of specifying too much here. Many platforms don’t track location while other fields that we can’t think of in advance might be useful. Finding a more general rule that still gets the intent across might be hard but I’d rather have it a bit under-specified than suddenly requiring a social media site to track my location every time I post because someone wasn’t careful enough when writing the text of a law.

Other than that, I agree 100%.

I really really REALLY hope this is phrased well. Otherwise it is impossible to implement. People don’t know what an algorithm is.

Sorting by date uses an algorithm. Filtering by tag uses an algorithm. Even counting out a number of posts uses an algorithm. An algorithm is not some magic oracle but just a list of instructions like a cooking recipe.
