I can recommend namecheap ( https://www.namecheap.com ), but domains are never going to be free, because there's an annual registrar fee. Before I had a credit card, my first few domain names were given to me as a gift from friends/family.

Actually, just tried it on the Switch, and the text area is all wonky. I am interested in finding a better coding editor and providing some web hosting to BDNS users too.

For example, vgmoose.bdns.dev but replacing vgmoose with your browsedns username. Kind of like Tumblr or neocities.

What websites are examples of "this text editor isn't annoying to use" on Switch? And is USB keyboard support good enough, or should it try and support the builtin one?

Also, I haven't tried it, but it's worth mentioning that the game FUZE4 looks like the ideal of "coding games on Switch".

Here's a full screen version, for switch users: https://vgmoose.bdns.dev/dvd.html

This is using CSS animations, and no javascript, so it works embedded within an SVG, which can also be embedded within BDNS profiles.

Example on my profile: http://bdns.bio/vgmoose

Profile embed:

![dvd](https://vgmoose.bdns.dev/dvd.svg)

HTML/CSS:

<body>
<style>
body {
  margin: 0;
  background-color: darkblue;
  background: linear-gradient(to top, #3204fdba, #9907facc), darkblue no-repeat top center;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

img, div {
  width: 110px;
  height: 66px;
}

.x {
  animation: x 6.5s linear infinite alternate;
}

.y {
  animation: y 3.5s linear infinite alternate;
}

@keyframes x {
  100% {
    transform: translateX( calc(400px - 110px) );
  }
}

@keyframes y {
  100% {
    transform: translateY( calc(400px - 66px) );
  }
}
</style>
<div class="x">
  <img class="y" src="https://vgmoose.bdns.dev/dvd_logo.png" alt="dvd" />
</div>
</body>

Sorry you’re going through that. I can recommend mindfulness meditation to help clear your mind and take better control of your thoughts.

There are some guided meditation videos on YouTube to start with, and scientific evidence is growing that this kind of meditation can positively affect the brain: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/04/harvard-researchers-study-how-mindfulness-may-change-the-brain-in-depressed-patients/

But, still, if you have counselor to talk to, their professional advice will often have better results than self-researched solutions.

You can check your serial number to see if your Switch is a model that's easy to mod: https://switch.hacks.guide/user_guide/getting_started

If you got it in 2017 on release, it very likely is! That guide also details the process, and the NH Discord can be used for any questions that may come up: https://discord.com/invite/C29hYvh

We got to 15k signatures!... And change.org accordingly updated the goal:

I knew they'd give us another goal (really, the goal is "always" just "more" signatures...) but it still just says "becomes one of the top signed", which I guess will never stop being false.

Thanks anyway everyone! I may post an update to the petition within the week. I'm hoping to get to the point where other sites start covering the petition to increase the public pressure on Nintendo to add a real browser.

I should also note that the browser is powered by NetFront, which is maintained by Access Co Ltd. Maybe it's worth sending some love / attention their way as well.

I don't know what kind of deal they have with Nintendo, but it seems straightforward enough to imagine that there's potential revenue they're missing out on by not being a fully fledged browser app.

Repair.wiki has some info on Switch BSOD: https://repair.wiki/w/Nintendo_Switch_Blue_screen_of_death_Repair

iFixIt link too: https://www.ifixit.com/Troubleshooting/Nintendo_Switch/Blue+Screen+of+Death/481689

But it seems like a tricky hardware repair. The Switch has a few other diagnostic codes, like full screen yellow, green, or red, and blue usually means physical CPU or memory error.

The Switch 2 browser is actually a bit nicer than the Switch 1's, but it's very similar in terms of the limitations (20 minute timeout, no video support). I'd say that the OG Switch has a ~2015 browser, meanwhile the Switch 2 has a ~2022 one.

So it has better HTML compatibility, higher resolution, and a little bit more power. This means it can render some more "modern" pages at faster speeds, and even render ads surprisingly. But if it's one of your primary use cases, it's not worth getting just for the limited browser.

@sillysora99 That's a serious topic and it's not appropriate for these forums. Her position however absolutely was not "promoting murder". I'm going to consistently push back when these are the kinds of claims being made.

@Skye_twitch Harris was the Attorney General of California, an elected position, as well as being the VP of the Biden administration for the last four years. She's absolutely qualified for this specific job. Biden and her have passed significant legislation (Inflation Reduction Act), even with a totally gridlocked congress.

Trump by contrast, in addition to having very limited experience in politics, was totally ineffective his first 4 years from 2016-2020. He didn't understand "the system" that he talked so much about fixing. His new slogan is "Make America Great Again"... again. He already said he'd make it great and was unsuccessful.

It's hard not be pessimistic about our next four years, knowing that our best case scenario is that he will continue to divide us. For a very quick example, Harris conceded the next day that she lost, and Trump is still denying he lost 2020. That is not presidential.

My two cents on this topic is: In this thread, we're currently discussing a law that, if passed, would make it forbidden to even discuss whether or not that law is fair. This thread itself would be in violation.

You don't have to be on any "side" to see how that's using government to restrict free speech. While the bill says that sites can filter certain problematic content for Michigan users, most website owners won't take that risk, as it would open us up to potential fines and lawsuits.

@proxzi said in books:

If you're looking for a book that's more historically based and quite interesting to read I'd recommend Great Gatsby.

Great Gatsby is also freely available (copyright expired) to read here: https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200041h.html

I'm still recommending this!

This channel (ClayKramer) has a bunch of KK Slider covers of popular songs, which I keep listening to lately:

It's not anything modern, but http://vgmusic.com has a ton of midi's from different video games

So there are some page errors on the 3DS browser due to it being out of date. The browser is using Webkit 536.30 (or Safari 6.0.5).

I started to fix some icon sizes / text, but I think these fixes will need a special 3ds theme that's more lightweight to work correctly.

Specifically, the main issue for the layout is CSS variables are not supported, and some fonts fail to load. Then there are some javascript issues below:

(Found these errors by using "Developer Mode" (holding A+B+X+Y while the Internet browser is loading))

I never heard of browser.lol ! that seems really useful
