Wow, how is this allowed? She’s 13

Do you understand a source is? How can one provide a source to a subjective statement with a comparison that doesn’t name a particular service? Provide me a source that my favorite dish is yakisoba.

Well, it was hard enough because it still needed some work and about 18 months to get to a crappy build but yeah

Note how it took months of no progress then mere weeks after the first jailbreak was released. The jailbreak is the innovation here, the emulator itself barely changed to accommodate the Switch 2, relative to the initial work of building the Switch 1 version.

Google doesn’t care about the profitability today. Just look at how they are integrating the AI into Maps, Android, Search and now those “Googlebooks”.

What they want is for you to die, and for a whole new generation that can’t interact with computers or information in any other way except a chatbot that can filter and control what they see. That’s when profits go through the roof.

As I understand it the way this usually goes is finding a vulnerability but there‘s nothing mentioned.

It wasn’t mentioned because it was already disclosed and people are already using it, it’s extremely popular. The Switch 2 was jailbroken using SmileBASIC as a userland exploit plus a filesystem exploit for privilege escalation. If the game can run in a jailbroken Switch, you can decrypt and dump it.

Then as far as emulation is concerned, the Switch 2 is just a Switch 1 with a newer Nvidia chip, updating the emulators isn’t that hard.

Wanted to give it a try, accepted into the beta, but the beta only accepts the full annual payment… which is ridiculous for a beta product.

Talk? I use it daily on all my devices

See? You’re almost helpful. But I do have to ask you if that password manager has a name?

Sure, had you asked about a solution rather than trying to write some sort of gotcha. KeePassXC is a fully complete password manager, better than whatever subscription crap you’d rather push, and it stores everything into an encrypted local db file you control. Now guess what I’d recommend for syncing that file across other devices.

hat advice is not helpful, though. Most of us used to store passwords on our computer: In our internet browsers. In plain text for anyone to grab. So store them in a safe password manager in your computer.

The vast majority of people don’t know the difference between 2FA and passkeys, and you want them to manage their own self hosted solutions for everything?

I didn’t mention self hosting nor do I think it’s necessary, unless you consider any service running in your desktop as “self hosting”.

I said this before, will say it again: do not migrate to another subscription service.

People went through all the trouble to migrate from Google to Proton, then now they must migrate from Proton to whatever else, and the cycle will repeat again.

Subscription services, cloud software, they all strip you of agency and control. You don’t have direct access to the files, you don’t control the GUI, they are filled with proprietary formats, you are at their hands if they decide to change something you like, or pricing, or if they simply go nuts.

Keep your things in your computer. Need they synced? SyncThing will do that for you on any device imaginable.

Your comment is the reason I had to go make another cup

Users love big tech. They pretend not to, but they love their shackles.

For instance, when Twitter was bought by Elon and people had that big migration wave… Mastodon was right there, a fully matured ecosystem, same or even better features… yet the majority picked Bluesky, the “features” Bluesky offered are there in Mastodon, the only difference is Bluesky is also owned by private tech bros.

It’s simple, really. Steam allows 18+ games, but it treats them under a special regime, you can fully disable them from view. AI games should be the same.

“Oh but developers will just lie” yeah they can lie about having a +18 asset in the middle of the game too, but as soon as they are caught and it’s proven, they are banned. Same if they hide malware.

“Oh but no game developer will disable Claude from VSCode, now what?”

There’s a difference between the kind of AI slop that dominated the latest demo fest vs using Claude in an IDE.

What point are you making?

That if I have to suffer through bad curation and filtering any way, paying for the service becomes irrelevant and I might as well get the games for free? The whole “piracy is a service issue” is GabeN’s most famous quote.

You know who also doesn’t "gatekeep"developers? Piracy websites, which I shall now use.

Steam is only worth it so far as it’s convenient and user friendly. AI slop flood is neither.

They don’t have to. It’s backwards compatible. You can ignore it and we can keep on happily using it.

Fuck Google, fuck WebP.

Google tried to sabotage it in favour of its own WebP standard.

Nobody gives a shit about WebP.
