Neat, you're at odds with the definitions used by the entire switch CFW community, but I'm glad you get to feel like you know what you're talking about.

Erista is v1, Mariko is v2. 'First gen' means Erista. This is how I've seen it for the entire six years I've been developing homebrew for the switch. It's how my documentation lists it, it's how everyone else's documentation lists it. Otherwise you're trying to delineate between multiple asynchronous hardware revisions, which with nintendo's arbitrarily applied board codes boy does that get convoluted...

And here I am, too damn poor to afford a fiddle...

Some 1st gen switches do not need a modchip. The tegra exploit was patched long befofe the release of mariko units, and those patched models still require a modchip to run CFW.

At what point does nintendo make the process of buying their games so complicated that it actually becomes easier to learn how to install a modchip?? This is just ridiculous.

Those duplicitous bastards.

Yeah, the scenarios where a breakup of the union is feasible are... limited. Governors aren't going to be able to seize the nukes or military assets needed to establish themselves on their own without some truly extraordinary changes that just haven't come into being yet. Maybe one day, but it's going to be a damned rough road before we get there.

Nah.

I think the crux of the issue then might be what I am / you are calling disinformation. I see very little true disinformation on .world, and what I do see I either counter, or someone else beats me to it. It seems likely that our own ideas of what constitutes disinformation are quite different.

So you'd prefer the admins allow you to pretend they don't exist? I know that's not what you're trying to say, but its not an unreasonable extrapolation of your position from the comments you're making. You feel the need to fight for what you believe in because it's right to stand up for what you believe in, but you would rather you didn't have to. I think that's probably the most universally agreeable statement I've ever heard, sincerely. I would, too, like for this to be the case. We just disagree on how to achieve that happy state of affairs, though it's nice that neither of us prefers a solution like "round up all the .ml/.world users in a big camp" unlike, you know, real world opinions...

also, implying people are cowards for wanting to flee your hate instance is despicable and privileged ass-take. fuck you.

That was pretty clearly self deprecating. Who in the hell calls someone else a 'base coward', anyways? For that matter, who would even take seriously being called a base coward? I think you might genuinely be treating everyone else as hostile as a means of self defense, which while understandable is in itself incredibly (edit: exhausting is a much better term) to interact with.

I have real comments here, along the lines of what you mean by promoting disinformation and the moderation standards you would prefer to see, because those are sincerely interesting. But come on, what's the point in trying to have a discussion when you treat everything like an attack on you & yours? I'm not even trying to be hostile here.

Oh good, we agree then. There's a certain necessity to engage with opinions counter to our own instead of pretending they don't exist, even if it's personally uncomfortable to do so.

Ah, a blanket denial of everything I said. How glad I am that I'm above petty things like pointing out the comically stereotypical behavior of users from other instances. It's nice up here, on the Mountain of Sarcastic Moral Superiority.

As an actual counterpoint, the primary way that new users get onto lemmy is always going to have the highest concentration of toxic users. Society is, if you haven't noticed, incredibly toxic. Commonly espoused ideas like trans people being human or civil rights being important aren't commonly supported by society at large (source: the entire world right now). The easiest way for people who support those things to find their way to instances where those ideas are popularly held is to join the most popular instance and see both the need for other instances with heavier moderation, and what those instances are. How many people hear about blahaj or sh.itjust.works before signing up to lemmy, vs. sign up there as their second account? Personally, I'm pretty grateful that the most toxic opinions are largely self-segregated into a place where people aren't required to interact with them. It's less pleasant, sure, but it's also the best place in the fediverse to get an accurate idea of what the real societal opinions are. And if it gets to be too much, I can always just flee .world (or .ml, I mean seriously guys) like a base coward and spend time under one of my alt accounts on a more heavily moderated instance like .blahaj instead.

... Then why are you here, participating with that which you revile?

Isn't that kind of the point, that it's an inherently broken situation?

no one would target me specifically for being a man

I think you've misunderstood. The commenter is not saying that random attacks don't happen to men, that's obviously true. But those attacks won't target you specifically because you are male, which is an additional justification for violence that women have to deal with. I'd argue it's even more common than women being targeted randomly - or even that random muggings/assaults are actually random. I mean, who's jumping people that they think are a threat?

Unfortunately it’s very difficult to pull apart big data sets accurately

The actual fuck? It's significantly easier to pull apart large data sets, especially to answer demographic questions like this. This is literally Data Science 101, you're just making shit up!

This from a user on an instance that's known for their open villification of any opinion that goes against the moscow and beijing dictated groupthi--

Wait, wait hold on. Could it possibly be that we both have deeply subjective views of the other large instances, because humans fall to tribalism faster than a kitten on a sock full of catnip? Maybe there's a vested interest on every side to keep the early adopters of a decentralized social media platform infighting over meaningless stereotypes based on the letters that come after their username, making value judgements based entirely on dictated preconceptions instead of experiential conclusions and honest interaction?

... nah, probably not. And besides, it's way more fun to just sling mud. Screw u, u commie scuzbucket.

Dead.

If empty platitudes could strike down the bourgeois, you'd be the greatest hero our world has ever known.

When the people can't even afford the lumber to make the guillotines, what do we do then?
