I found this version to be much more tolerable: https://youtube.com/watch?v=oY9O-WbMxO0

You are correct, I should have done more research before stating that. However, the sales for first-party Switch games still seem much more hard-to-find as well as much less of a discount than when you compare to the PC market. For example, if you look at Super Mario Odyssey, the linked site lists an all-time low price of $29.49. Compare this to a AAA game released the same year, Horizon Zero Dawn, which can somewhat regularly be found for $12.49 on Steam. The Steam sales throughout the year also make it much easier to find PC games on sale, and as far as I’m aware the Switch doesn’t have something comparable. I just believe it’s much harder to find good deals on Nintendo games than the vast majority of other publishers, which is why the high price tag is hard to justify for many.

I agree that there has been a lot of misinformation surrounding the Switch 2 (especially that $90 price). It’s important that consumers know the truth about a product when they are considering what to buy, and misinformation never helps.

I think one of the larger issues that people here have with Nintendo pricing is not the initial prices, but the fact that Switch games released by Nintendo just haven’t gone on sale. AAA games from other publishers commonly go on sale years after their release, offering a more affordable option for people who can’t justify $80 on a new game. The last time I can remember Nintendo doing this with their games was Nintendo Selects on the 3DS and Wii U.

Another issue people here particularly have with Nintendo is freedom to do what you wish your hardware. Nintendo has always tried to prevent users from running their own software on their devices, and it’s easy to see how people are upset by this behavior (especially on Lemmy where there are many tsch-savvy Linux users who are greatly offended by this).

But it shows up as “******” for us

Yeah, and browsers are running the same engines across platforms, so there are very few differences between using Firefox on Linux and using Firefox on Windows. My best guess is what @Chronographs@lemmy.zip said, that it’s just allowlisting new Windows user agents and was intended to target people running ancient versions of Windows.

Yeah they’re not blocking access or anything, I was just infuriated by the message

Yeah, I can still access it just fine, but the word “Upgrade” didn’t make me very happy…

Not with the asterisk! The shell automatically expands the asterisk before sending the args to rm, removing every French language pack in your root directory.

I think you linked the wrong video, this should be the right one

First time I’ve seen it. Maybe your Lemmy account is haunted?

The AI used doesn’t necessarily have to be an LLM. A simple model for determining the “safety” of a comment wouldn’t be vulnerable to prompt injection.

My instance admin is also extremely oppressive.

Gramatically correct but I was definitely confused at first as to what the “it” referred to (the “war on Christmas” or Christmas itself)
