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.

Yes definitely. It’s not that unusual even.

It’s loading a lot of content locally, and very very slowly before you can even use it.

And the right will use this media frenzy to further their anti-immigrant agendas.

What they did in the US is highlight criminals, then use that confusion and outrage to allow them to target all immigrants. So be really careful how you respond to what is being pushed to you about this. If your gut is telling you it doesn’t sound right, or it doesn’t align with your direct experience, be very careful you are not being used to condemn.

I agree. And you know what, Facebook’s sponsored algorithm makes more Nazis than Nazis alone. What we need is to be able to subscribe to community notes and misinformation alerts from trusted sources. There is room for everyone, even the fucking Nazis. We just need block lists etc. And before someone cries echo chamber, you know it’s kind of up to you to monitor your “trusted” sources over time. Things change and being informed is being informed. Apolitical people or people too thick for ethical decisions just don’t need an algorithm pushing political propaganda to their feed every moment of every day.

You’re wrong about this. It’s a reasonable position during the first Trump presidency, but under this one it is not “equal opportunity oppression”. White people of privilege being murdered in the streets by cops isn’t the new equality… It’s the new ceiling. It doesn’t mean everyone else has new company in the oppression floor, it means everyone now at the bottom will be shoved into darker depths than some might imagine.

Mental gymnastics are energy intensive!

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.

Okay, but what’s the source of the data?? This is some what meaningless without that. Info like that is pretty important. Many people already sharing this without any questions.

Any Arch/Debian. If you’re picking Distros based on which UI they package, you’re doing your self dirty by ignoring options that might be more what you want. You can always swap out the UI. It’s not a corr part of most distros.

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.

Could be slightly more catchy?

As if we needed any more confirmation that these people are actual Nazis… Walking in and claiming this is what nurses need to write down on official documents is normal for them.

This is actually a good article. It’s not just about recording and streaming. How about don’t upload videos to Google Drive you don’t want DHS to be able to subpoena? Also I includes advice on how to best avoid altering the files or doing anything that will make them less useful when we are putting these Nazis on trial.

I didn’t clock the scale of this, and I doubt most people have. When 2 million lives violently ending is just background noise it really makes you wonder what’s coming globally.
