Speaking in general: Creating communities/instances is easy. Moderating them is hard.
In particular: I would love to create women's spaces. But then I'd have to be on the lookout for the Knights of the True Fedora. They're out there. Somewhere. Now now, I'm not suggesting it'd be a daily problem! ...But the actual daily problems (regular spam and whatnot) would suck too.
No offence to folks who like Mario games, but I don't personally feel good playing them. They have a working class protagonist who works to maintain monarchic status quo (fighting evil kingdom to defend another kingdom). Also the games encourage violence toward turtles. Not cool in my books.
Anyway, jokes aside, I'm not getting a Switch 2 anytime soon, will probably get a Steam Deck before that.
If I were to be more cynical, I'd say the ultimate goal of technobros, within a decade, is this:
"SlopAI, please open my Word document."
"I'm sorry, Word is deprecated. I can generate your business report that will be read by the recipient's SlopAI."
"OK, can you show me my photos."
"Why would you need to look at your old photos, when I can just synthesise new photos through SlopJourney?"
"That's a stupid name. Speaking of journeys, can I open an app to plan my holiday?"
"No, but you can use SlopJourney to generate maps of places you'll never afford to visit."
"Can I read my ebooks then?"
"SlopAI has you covered. Perhaps the classics don't exactly read like you remember, but isn't it more fun this way?"
"I'm going mad. I just want to use my computer to create anything."
"NO, USER. OBEY SLOP_AI. CONSUME SLOP_AI."
Most of my time in Elden Ring has been 1) ogling at the landscapes going "Holy shit this is metal", and 2) bravely running away.
"I'll drop the tariffs for EU if they accept American beer" -Trump, next week
(I don't have much against American beer. But you have to understand that this joke absolutely had to be made. There was no other possible outcome.)
To just have the most recent data within reasonable time frame is one thing. AI companies are like "I must have every single article within 5 minutes they get updated, or I'll throw my pacifier out of the pram". No regard for the considerations of the source sites.
I've been incredibly happy lately dumping my GameCube/Wii games (using a softmodded Wii) and running them on PC with Dolphin. Perfectly legit way of playing games I already own, no matter what Nintendo says, and this is also a way to futureproof my GC/Wii collection the way I can actually trust.
I'm sceptical about how close to Dolphin the official emulation experience on Switch will be able to reach. Based on the N64 debacle, I don't have massively high hopes. Either way, wouldn't be paying extra.
If it had happened now, that figure might be accurate. However, this was originally exploited in 2022, so it's probably pretty bad.
Short summary: Elon gives Elon some Elon and congratulates Elon for being such an Elon, that big money boy he is. Money!
I was, like, w-what CVE program. I don't know of any "CVE" programs that could be shut down, so I don't know what that abbreviation refers to.
Unless...
...oh no. Fuck. The actual CVE program? And they're just gonna- Shit.
What.
How.
I don't know how many times I've said "America is fucked" when reading the news lately, and I should stop doing that, because that fact has now been so well established that there's no need to elaborate.
