Hell yeah.

I didn't buy a switch 1 and have no plans on buying a switch 2. Spent many hours playing Smash on Yuzu though!

My last console was a PS3, because that's the last one that didn't force me to pay an extra fee to use my own internet connection.

Fuck greed. Fuck useful idiots. Fuck nintendo.

Xitter links are against our instance's rules, could you please switch the domain to xcancel.com instead?

[–] Pro@programming.dev 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, no problem.

I just did that.

When posting, it is indeed better to post to nitter instances, but for yourself, you can just get an extension that auto replaces such links.

Better to use a general foss redirect extension than slowly accumulate various service-specific ones.
Libredirect natively does xitter -> xcancel, bluesky -> skyview, fandom -> breeze, reddit -> redlib, and like 50 more. All with tons of prefilled mirrors and uptests ...

It's a great place to find those alternative frontends. If you're annoyed by some enshittified platform, good chance you can just enable a redirect in there.

can't they run like a matrix server instead of discord? cuz u can get a take down notice on discord.

[–] brownmustardminion@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This frustrates me to no end. I follow piracy and privacy communities that only use discord for discussion. It defies logic.

[–] toad31@lemmy.cif.su 2 points 1 day ago

It defies logic.

Until you realize most people can't think for themselves and are doing what everyone else is doing.

They don't even weigh the option of "discord vs. matrix" to them, it's "discord without question."

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's the same with all the stupid cryptobros who post on twitter. Whatever happened to their love of decentralization? Fucking scammers.

[–] toad31@lemmy.cif.su 1 points 1 day ago

We're bringing it back.

[–] gnawmon@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sadly that's the norm these days. Surely Discord will die like the IMs before it.

Discord is already dying. It's been enshittifying for a while, and it's about to go public

Pressing X to doubt

[–] Sebastrion@leminal.space 24 points 1 week ago

Bullshit, this is a Scam. There is no know way to dump ROMs or get the decryption key. How are they archiving this without a Hack for the Switch 2? The only way would be if they had their own hack and their own emulator, both developed in 2 Month.

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 week ago

Meh. Honestly don’t believe it. Stuff like this was before too and it was apparently fake.

[–] byte_0verflow@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How did they get the rom for the game?

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Possibly with custom hardware. Cartridges are essentially glorified SD cards. However, they would need a dump of the decryption key, which is not possible to obtain yet. This is most likely fake.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't have the know-how, why couldn't this group do what's needed to get a dump of the decryption key? What's needed to make this possible?

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 7 points 1 week ago

Two ways: undisclosed software exploit, or decapping and using an electron microscope. The former would be a world first as AFAIK no hacking group has claimed to be able to do that yet, and the latter is very expensive and extremely hard.

[–] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

They didn't, and the console doesn't have a CFW to dump ROMs yet.

this is a hoax and you all are voting up this complete bullshit image

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

lmao, inb4 it's just a shitty .exe with video files inside like last time

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] sonalder@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As there is (prove me if I'm wrong) no current way to dump and decrypt Switch2 games this is a highly probable hoax. I wouldn't consider this to be true and be extermely careful.

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Oh

Thanks for the heads up
