nintendo's really having a blast telling everyone to pirate their games! so far in the past couple of months, nintendo has:

- shut down the eshop for wii u/3ds
- issued a DMCA to lockpickRCM, preventing switch owners from legally obtaining keys needed for emulation (and it caused a switch emulator to shut down due to fears they'd be DMCA'd too)
- sent a new 3DS update that blocked all free methods of homebrewing the console
- and just recently, they told steam to take down the dolphin emulator

remember: pirating nintendo games is good.
(edit: fix'd some info!)

Hello fellow fedi admins

In case you needed yet another reason to block newsie.social, and every other site that Jeff runs, newsie.social has now decided that platforming far-right hate is appropriate:

i did a funny

nintendo told steam to remove dolphin from their store, allegedly due to it's hardcoded inclusion of the wii common key

so here's a flag that represents the wii's common key, in hexadecimal form :)

EDIT: oops inkscape fucked it up in the export, i fixed it now lol
EDIT 2: fix'd info, everyone was wrong apparantly! doesn't change much but still

Heads up fellow #FediAdmin, do not enable the content cache retention period feature in mastodon. It is worded terribly and actually irreversibly deletes users’ boosts, faves and bookmarks by clearing out remote posts regardless of whether they’ve been interacted with. Huge loss.

Would you let her in?

Forgot to share the important recent discovery (not by me) that Japanese Klik & Play has exclusive smoking Pacman ghost sprites.

I need some Black gamer friends, and disabled ones. There any gamers around? I'm disabled, an introvert, and I have friends, but most of them aren't gamers or don't play the games I do. Even if I was gung ho about going out, a lot of them live too far, I don't drive, and all of us lack money. I'm really lonely and feeling insecure today. Trying not to smother my sis and husband...

i was a major contributor to Rust's documentation tooling in 2017-2019. i'm now a major contributor to Swift's documentation tooling since 2020. if you appreciate those documentation experiences, it's likely i've had a hand in it.

i'm also trans. the growing tide of rhetoric and legislation targeting trans children and adults in the United States is terrifying to me. i have had serious discussions with my partner about whether we should leave the country for our own safety.

i've already had to evacuate my home state, Texas, having never lived anywhere else since early childhood, because of the specific political climate there. i can never move back. i could maybe go back to visit my parents or my sisters who still live there, but if it follows Florida's lead, even that might be difficult.

if you think that "politics should stay out of tech", you are putting your colleagues' lives at risk. you might be able to stay here and keep working on your projects, but the rest of us are looking at immigration law and losing sleep wondering how long it will be before even the "safe" cities and states are too dangerous to stay in.

please. stand up for us. if we have to do this alone, we may not be around to do it much longer.

HOLY SHIT DON'T UPDATE YOUR 3DS

having a hacked 3DS is SOOOOOOO FUCKIN AWESOME OMG if you haven't hacked yours yet you totes should

Definitely getting to the point where I'll be putting word filters up again.

I don't wanna be "blind" to the shit that's happening to #trans folks lately. I just can't take that being boosted onto my timeline every time I open up fedi. I'm genuinely begging you to CW. You're making fedi inhospitable to the folks you're trying to rally for.
