I'd love for automation to come in and save everyone. How many of our jobs can machines just do instead? Give people more time to focus on their own endeavors! (Creative, family, a fulfilling job, etc).

Stephen Hawking said this on robots/automation:

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

don't inhale glue!

whaaat halloween rocks!

yes!!! Well, the first season is, at least

@betterthenyou if you have a homebrew'd Switch, BrowseNX allows you to use audio and video, and has no timeout. For this reason, I think the petition actually has a decent shot of getting Nintendo to allow these features. Like, they already have them, they're just disabled.

let's go on record: whatever most people decide we should do in this thread, is what we'll do to such accounts

We're working on some better tools now to report inappropriate chat messages, just because something happens in DMs does not mean harassment of other users is tolerated.

something similar to how flagging of users/posts works, or similar to this: https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security/report-a-tweet

Please don't make threads targeting specific users and don't try to get people to group up against others. If there's an issue with a specific user, you can block that user, and if there's a deeper issue that violates forum rules, report/flag the user.

We're on the Internet, so take anything that anyone tells you with a grain of salt. Actually, you can probably assume that people online may exaggerate the truth. But that's ok, and it doesn't need to be dwelled on unless it's actively harmful.

@Felixa-Lee though, don't make off topic posts. If you want to talk about your life/career/experiences, use the Blogs or Writing categories, not unrelated threads, or messaging users over DM. If someone doesn't believe what you're saying, please don't take it upon yourself to continue messaging them to try to change their mind.

yeah, the Switch has a few security features, including their browser not supporting JIT compilation, which is how a lot of web exploits work. It's also running webkit, which is the same underlying browser that most phones and computers use.

Also, Nintendo also has on their end a kill-switch: if they find out something in the browser is exploitable, they can force disable it until the next system update. In homebrew circles, this message is called the super nag (displays when trying to launch the browser):

In the past, this has been used to prevent PegaSwitch from working. It should also be noted though that even when this happened, there wasn't a virus that was maliciously targeting Switch web users, only homebrew users using it to hack their devices.

here's what PegaSwitch looks like when it activates (only works on older Switch firmwares):

I would like to support push via an app some day! Higher on the list is to offer IP-based login support (instead of passwords, like how it is on Switchbru).

Even though the forum fits well into a PWA, converting it to be web-bundled app (aka, be served locally without a server) isn't as straightforwards.

I just checked visiting https://browsedns.net on 3DS, it kiiind of works You may have to accept a security warning, and probably one of the custom themes might make it easier to use.

Actually, if anyone wants to report some usability concerns on 3DS/2DS and which themes are good, that would be very helpful.

@LTempral we (current mods+admins) should probably come up with actual criteria / a process, not just me vaguely suggesting essays be written. Althoooough, for topics, I'd imagine something like, maybe reviewing a website or discussing that site's use/role on Internet devices like the Switch.

Normally on a forum, you have global and category-specific moderators (eg. a Writing category mod) too.

This site is not really large enough for this to totally apply, but for instance, if you comment a lot of productive stuff in one category and "understand" what good vs bad threads/posts look like in that category, you're kind of fit to be "in charge" of it.
