They mean “They have threatened to and will burn down our entire civilization to keep fucking kids”

So what… pay with monero?

What are the gmail replacement options?

Then they will decide that links to some news stories aret appropriate for kids. No more pesky videos of ICE executing people in the street.

When do social media companies actually do anything to protect kids??

Agreed. Tools aren’t the problem generating all the slop, it’s the vibe coding mentality.

They. They outsourced it. Did we ever really have a voice in this? Did we have a choice in what they do with the capitol they control when they wish to reshape society around it? We need to commit to anticorporate lifestyles and genuinely reject their products and services at scale. Until that happens we’re spending our resources to enrich our enemies who use it against us.

Yep. It’s absurd. Who spends that much on a 4TB?

Wait, are you dismissing the impact of pandemic as the single biggest factor in handheld sales from 2020-2021?

Would switch 1 have done anywhere near what it did without pandemic? Every last model of the DS is still incredibly expensive on the aftermarket, due to pandemic. Before that used consoles of previous generations were pretty readily available at cheap prices.

Point being if pandemic made even a bygone generation of handhelds revitalized and holding value for 5 years. It’s impact on Switch 1 sales cannot be underestimated.

We’ll see how the holidays go for Switch 2 without the power of FOMO and existential nomadic existence.

If this means the device is usuable and reasonably secure for 5 years, this is fine.

It precisely means that is not going to be the case.

The phone will stop getting security updates in less than 3 years. It will still be a perfectly good phone by then. The battery won’t even have degraded out of service life.

Agreed but battery life is clutch with mobile devices. Dead phone batteries don’t facilitate travel. Or waiting for your car to get fixed and having this in the glove box … I mean your argument is basically against all retro handheld devices.

It is genuinely a public health epidemic. People will look back and ask how we could be so ignorant in the face of the OBVIOUS problems.

A year ago this comment would have gotten deleted from nearly any subreddit. Today it’s recognized as fact.

I can’t wait to run Linux on my Pixel! No way are nerds going to stand for this.

I cannot fathom why they would go this route after Archive.org was targetted and so thoroughly lost. They could have hosted it on a different site.
