You’ll probably have a while to wait.

The Switch 1 was able to run homebrew due to a hardware exploit in the CPU which allowed injection of arbitrary code. The interesting thing about that vulnerability being that since it was a hardware vulnerability, it couldn’t be patched out even after it was discovered.

Following that incident, I’m sure Nintendo has been working especially hard to ensure there are no similar vulnerabilities existing on the Switch 2.

That said, console hackers are an amazingly creative and talented bunch, so I wouldn’t be surprised by anything.

Microsoft would absolutely love it if people had zero computer literacy and had to ask an AI for help to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.

Because then the AI becomes indispensable.

The idea there should be some definitive, canonical domain for the Fediverse is somewhat at odds with the core tenents of the Fediverse itself - decentralisation, and no single point of ownership or control. And on that basis, we absolutely should not care about a particular domain, or assign any level of ‘specialness’ to it.

I understand your worry - that some ‘bad actor’ could buy the domain and do something anti-Fediverse with it and mislead the public, but my response would be to simply not worry. The strength of the Fediverse is that we are diverse and unbothered by whatever nonsense some centralised platform is trying to pull. We don’t have a profit motive. We don’t care.

People who want to find the real Fediverse will absolutely still find us, all on their own, regardless of who owns some random domain :)

Or, the other way of looking at it, prices are not impossibly low like we have come to expect from disposable fashion produced by exploited workers in slavery conditions.

Same with Heinz. German immigrant parents, American brand.

In 2025, things staying the same as they are rather than getting worse counts as a ‘big win’ :|

I confess I have a secret love for pom bears, despite my age being long out of the single digits XD

Yeah. Looking at this diagram as a British person it’s like the US stuff is our entire selection and none of the alternative brands exist here :(
