  • I bought a game on switch for like 40 bucks that ended up being really bad, and tried to get it refunded within about two hours of purchase, after about thirty minutes of play time. Couldn’t get the refund.

    Ever since, I was VERY slow to buy anything, because, what if it’s unexpectedly bad? I have to know I mean it, otherwise I shouldn’t buy it. I want to buy a game, not flush money down the toilet.

    So, now I kind of just don’t want a Switch 2.










    1. It isn’t misinformation.

    2. Someone like this board member being a traitor to his species isn’t covered by “opinion”. No normalizing nazis. It’s such a low bar. He couldn’t clear it.

    3. He blasted his treachery over the public airwaves. His privacy isn’t being violated.

    This whole comment feels like an exercise in using all the best words to miss the point. We know, as does this probably-lying board member, that Republicans are only going to go more authoritarian, and the only reason they would pretend to care about big tech abuses is to grab the steering wheel from them to commit far worse abuses. No company that gets into bed with traitors is going to become the new center of my digital life.

  • What are you supposed to put in the “server url” field in Pixelix? I put the instance I have an account on, because I don’t have any other information that would make sense to put there, but nothing happens when I tap the arrow.

    Also, what the fuck, fediverse. It’s exactly this kind of bullshit that’s why nobody joins you. Fix it for Christ’s sake. Something this unintuitive doesn’t even belong in a beta build. If I was a paid instagram plant making this app to frustrate people into going back to instagram, this is the splash screen I’d use. Stop making it impossible to recommend you in good faith to people I like.
