> if found violating its rules, the users will forfeit their account balances, any content licenses they may own, and their Xbox Gold Membership time if they run afoul of these new rules.

>Microsoft didn't respond to questions about what it believes to constitute "offensive language," and how it determines when someone's account should be suspended or banned. The company also didn't reply to questions about what prompted these recent changes in its Service Agreement.

>Microsoft clarified some of the issues for us and said that "Microsoft agents do not watch or listen to your Skype call." However, the company didn't clarify whether or not software or machine learning algorithms are used to monitor Skype calls or other services in real-time for Service Agreement violations.

>In the full text of the agreement, Microsoft included the following paragraph, to which the above paragraph refers:

<Don’t publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity).

>One of the issues with banning of accounts, especially if the violation isn’t too severe, is that such action could represent a major disruption to a user’s life.

For instance, Microsoft has been encouraging users to use Microsoft accounts to log-in to Windows instead of using local accounts. It has also encouraged users to encrypt their laptops using the same Microsoft accounts, where the keys are stored by default. Those keys can’t be recovered without the Microsoft account, so the user would no longer have access to the laptop’s data if the account was banned. The same user may also be using Outlook and Office 365 with their main Microsoft account, too.

It happens but you can always run recovery toolsets

The problem is that keys stored are in the same service host process that manage network - all of your encryption keys are sent over the network even your wifi password and drive encryption password

If services keep pushing their luck with even more draconian (((TOS))), growing numbers of people are going to get burned, and this will eventually culminate in movements to fight back against said (((TOS))).

I mean, there is an unreal disconnect with real life. If you go to Walmart and some faggot bumps their cart into yours, you won't get kicked out for calling them a careless dipshit. At best, security will laugh at the other faggot complaining. On online websites, you'd get banned on the spot for "offensive language".

A teacher told me to hand in an assignment in a PDF file produced from TeX. He just told us to install Texlive or MikTeX and left us on our own, without bothering to provide any reference material or guide. He eventually caved in after enough people complained learning TeX was 'too hard' and told us to use MS Word (not even Libre or Open Office) math formulas instead.

I don't know how he expected Kikebook-obsessed normies to study and learn a typesetting language on their own without any handholding.

It only produces paper (it's main feature is that it can arrange the letters to fill the lines and pages) and if you want it to look good you'll have those "include" dependencies.

You can also have the best of both worlds and use Lyx, but only if you can keep your autism and superiority complex in check. Lyx provides you with good WYSIWYG but produces pure Latex-based outputs. I've used it for ages and it is just fucking rock solid. Even with documents with hundrets of pages, images, external links and dependencies. Never crashes and has even a good documentation. I use it on loonix with a nice tool chain consisting of matlab, libre office and some more. But as I said. Text-based-only neets with superiority complexes need not to apply as this is real just-get-your-work-done shit without any ricing of front-ends or spending ages to tweak some init files. yes i'm slightly mad

I like how they're unwilling to clarify or define offensive language. As far as you're concerned saying "I had scrambled eggs for breakfast" could be considered offensive hate speech if you're talking to a vegan and then microsoft just confiscates your money and accounts.

Well no shit, of course they don't have agents listening in 24/7 on every Skype conversation. Not when you can automatically record any conversation and have an AI analyze it automatically instead.

Saying that Microsoft agents are not listening to Skype conversations is like saying that guns kill people and not people kill people. The end result is the same, you are just hiding behind a technicality.

This isn't surprising at all considering we're talking about Microsoft services. How Skype became popular with the goy is a mystery to me. Have they actually banned people for using offensive language in private conversations which Microsoft claim to not be monitoring or are we just talking about some random text they have in some legal document? Can't be bothered to skim through all this.
