Clippy still wins though because you could have him duck off.

"Looks like you're writing a letter"

No I'm not, fuck off Clippy.

Turns out we just hadn't coined the term for computer intelligence being wrong as hallucinating yet.

I'm saying that the pricing scheme Nintendo has for the S2 ecosystem is not conducive to pushing volume. This is evident to my other comment from talking to my local game store. Console demand is high, while games, accesories and controllers are not. If the average consumer's S2 library goes over 10 games average for the lifetime of the console, I'll be surprised unless pricing changes. The people who have purchased a S2 are holding back on other purchases that usually accompany that purchase. The people who haven't yet purchased and who will not purchase are likely aware of the prices as well. My rural local TV station ran 2 stories on price increases. Even if not all games are $80 each, the preconception is there for quite a few people that all S2 games are $80 each no matter if you've purchased a console or not.

Do you think parents or casuals know that, or do you think that they only know of the TV news reports of the console and game price increases? The biggest story revolving around the Switch 2 before launch was the price increases.

My local game store said demand for console is high; MKW bundle being the most popular. The demand for games, accessories and controllers is not high. I can't imagine that lack of demand to blamed on anything else other than pricing or uncertainty of the economy.

Yeah, turns out $80 for a game will have people only buying must have games or in my case no games at all.

If you can install SteamOS on it, it'll probably run better

Yeah but can it run SteamOS?

I meant in the ToS, but no, troll not my intentions. I thought I was agreeing with you and just expounding on your point.

Just did a cursory search for harm on the YouTube ToS. There is no definition that I saw, but it does say "may cause harm". So my suspicion that anything could be construed to be harmful to YouTube's business is likely correct. Quoted sections of the YouTube ToS containing the word "harm" as of 2025-06-06 17:20 GMT.

Exactly, I haven't read the ToS to see if it is defined or references anything in there. I usually default to the standard definition of a word unless explicitly stated otherwise. For example, Sony changed the definition of purchase to remove any notion of ownership when buying content on their streaming platform.

 

I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.
