I used Kagi for a year then switched back to DDG after I had concerns with privacy. Where you can ensure DDG isn’t getting your data by using a trusted VPN and a fingerprint-resistant browser, you are forced into a “trust me bro” situation with Kagi due to the need to verify your account subscription. Kagi’s proposed solution for this is privacy pass, but this article calls that into question as well. Privacy pass must also prevent you from using the customization in Kagi due to the supposed privacy benefits, which takes more away from the reason you would use Kagi in the first place. I do find it odd how a proprietary paid search engine seems to get such a large amount of praise within privacy communities when there are fundamental challenges in making a paid search engine actually private.

PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean??

It seems to be pretty lighthearted to me personally. There might be some context that would make this a dick move but it doesn’t look that way based on this meme

😳

This is probably the most catchy soundtrack for me in any Nintendo game. I will put the Mario Kart Wii disc in just to go to the options menu and listen to this masterpiece.

I worked at a Topgolf for a little over a year, and it is incredible how much some companies will spend on corporate events there

Nice try. For people looking for the real link, it’s here.

What’s the source for this? Can’t seem to find details about this online.

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.
