Unfortunately not Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which was one of the games I was hoping would have improved support implemented before Nintendo took down Yuzu and Ryujinx. There's the Steam version, but being able to play as Fox makes it feel like the Star Fox game that the Switch is missing.

While I originally did get the game on my Switch, I'd much rather play it with the rest of my games on the Steam Deck.

I imagine it'll run much better on the Switch 2, given how well it runs on my Steam Deck, though I imagine that it would take a lot of adjustment to get used to using joystick controls versus the touchpad controls of the Steam Deck. Perhaps however the new 'mouse-like controls' work will be more helpful in that regard, but I can't imagine even that would match the precision of a trackpad.

Don't intend on supporting Nintendo's crazy price increases myself, and will only get a Switch 2 if a way to hardware mod it becomes available, but I think it's a bit ironic that the one non-first party game someone would specifically want to play on the Switch is also the one that not only never goes on sale, but also got a price increase.

Accidentally deleted my original comment, so I rewrote it; not sure why other people copied it verbatim.

Generative AI data center energy usage is environmentally wasteful and will just raise the cost of energy for regular consumers.

Why aren't they matching the 104%?

Nintendo opting to forgo selling retro games piecemeal and instead expecting consumers to rent access to them in perpetuity is an anti-consumer move.

I have no problem paying for games when they're sold at affordable, reasonable prices, so until that's the case for Nintendo's library, better to just emulate as much of it as possible.

The U.S. government can get Central American governments overthrown on a whim, but can't get someone who's been illegally deported there back?

[X] Doubt

And after they've deported so many people who've come to the country to work hard and pay the taxes that American billionaires aren't, when employers can't find anyone to fill jobs, they'll just spin up the lie of young people not wanting to work, rather than recognize the contributions of hardworking immigrants to American society.

James Borghesani, a spokesperson for the Suffolk County DA, said in a statement that they were “dismayed and surprised” when Martell-Lebron was detained. He said their office asked ICE to return Martell-Lebron.

I'm sure they'll drop him right back off at the courthouse if all the kindhearted prosecutors do is ask nicely. /s

Without Manifest V3 support, better to just use Firefox instead. Or, for Firefox extensions that are not specifically marked as Android-compatible, a fork such as Iceraven instead.

In most cases, most release groups already fine tune encoding settings towards various balances of file size and quality, so the best option is to decide on a set of release group whose standards meet your needs and just use the files as they come without further modification.

Applying lossy compression to a video that's already had lossy compression applied to it degrades it unnecessarily, so if you're going to compress it yourself, it's best to start with the remux, aka the original media file.

I'd personally recommend releases from members of the qxr group and Vyndros.

I guess when their teeth start falling out they'll just say that it's god's will for them to have less teeth. 🙄

Seems like the new spam technique is sending it as an image rather than text:

Privacy and security isn't an all-or-nothing matter though. While a Pixel running GrapheneOS would indeed be more secure privacy-wise than an iPhone, not only would one have to be willing to do without a digital wallet, among other features that unfortunately have telemetry injected into them, but would still depend on the user not installing any of the common apps that would harvest data, even on a de-Googled phone.

Apple disabled the feature in the UK because the alternative, per the British government, was to add a backdoor to it.

RT is a Russian propaganda outlet, full stop.

Apple charges unreasonably high profit margins on its products as its primary business model, along with locking down their ecosystem to push overpriced subscriptions to the detriment of competitors, to not need the same level of invasive data collection that powers Google's advertising business.
