Yea, just sold to a prominent retro computer YouTuber (though I'm blanking on the name atm) so I think it's in good hands now (though too soon for this product, it was literally like a week or 2 ago they closed the deal)

Yea, it might be a wait. I picked up a launch unit just for the purpose of future exploits. I'm just leaving it sealed on a shelf, worst case, I can probably get back what I paid for it in a few years since sealed Nintendo stuff holds their value decently enough.

Like most other people seem to feel about, there's just not enough of a pull for me to want to play it LMAO

Especially since I already haven't played my fully modded Switch 1 in a few months as is xD

 

France has announced a “historic” accord with New Caledonia in which the overseas territory, rocked by deadly separatist violence last year, would remain French but be declared a new state.

“A State of New Caledonia within the Republic: it’s a bet on trust,” the French president, Emmanuel Macron, posted on X on Saturday, hailing a “historic” agreement.

Receiving the signatories later, the president said that “after two agreements and three referendums, New Caledonia, through what you have signed, is opening a new chapter in its future in a peaceful relationship with France”.

Macron had called for talks to break a deadlock between forces loyal to France and those wanting independence. New Caledonian elected officials, as well as political, economic and civil society leaders, gathered near Paris to hammer out a constitutional framework for the territory.

After 10 days of talks, the parties agreed that a “State of New Caledonia” should be created.

Manuel Valls, the minister for overseas territories, called it an “intelligent compromise” that maintains links between France and New Caledonia, but with more sovereignty for the Pacific island.

The priority now is New Caledonia’s economic recovery.

Last year’s violence, which claimed the lives of 14 people, is estimated to have cost the territory 2bn euros ($2.3 bn), shaving 10% off its gross domestic product, he said.

The French prime minister, Francois Bayrou, said Saturday’s deal – which still requires parliamentary and referendum approval – was of “historic dimensions”.

Home to about 270,000 people and located nearly 17,000km (10,600 miles) from Paris, New Caledonia is one of several overseas territories that remain an integral part of France.

It has been ruled from Paris since the 1800s, but many indigenous Kanaks still resent France’s power over their islands and want fuller autonomy or independence.

Unrest broke out in May 2024 after Paris planned to give voting rights to thousands of non-indigenous long-term residents. Kanaks feared this would leave them in a permanent minority, crushing their chances of winning independence.

As part of the agreement, New Caledonia residents will in future only be allowed to vote after having lived 10 years on the archipelago.

The last independence referendum in New Caledonia was held in 2021, and was boycotted by pro-independence groups over the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Kanak population.

It was the latest of three since 2018, all of which rejected New Caledonian independence. Since the 2021 referendum however, the political situation in the archipelago has been deadlocked.

Macron declared in early June he wanted a “new project” for New Caledonia.

The 13-page agreement announced on Saturday calls for a New Caledonian nationality, and the possibility for residents there to combine that status with French nationality.

Under the deal, a “State of New Caledonia” would be enshrined in France’s constitution, and other countries could recognise such a state.

The deal also calls for an economic and financial recovery pact that would include a renewal of the territory’s nickel processing capabilities.

Both chambers of France’s parliament are to meet in the fourth quarter of this year to vote on approving the deal, which is then to be submitted to New Caledonians in a referendum in 2026.

I'd just turn it off and keep it offline so that you're on the lowest possible firmware for potential future exploits

Then 🏴‍☠️

Original question by @[email protected]

 

As the infamous mushroom trial comes to a close at the same time as the coroner’s findings in the inquest into the killing of Kumanjayi Walker found that former constable Rolfe, who killed the Indigenous teen, is racist and so is police force’s systems; the media outlets who set up teams to cover the trial will now obviously shift those recourses to covering the police’s structural racism.

“We’ve shown that when we want to, we can have entire teams dedicated to covering people being killed,” said one newsroom editor, “it would be a failure of our duty as news outlets if we don’t give the same attention to the people being killed in police custody.”

“Plus, the there is way more to cover here considering the amount of police brutality we are seeing not just in the Northern Territory, but nationwide. So many more deaths, and while sure none of them involve beef wellington, it would be ridiculous if that mattered in our coverage.”

Uh huh, just like how the instance/user block being horribly implemented to where it's just a barely functional mute is just a (4 year) "oversight".

Funny how their "oversights" just so happen to have benefits to their efforts to push authoritarianism

Probably what all "good cops" think, "I can change the system from within" or "It's just a couple outlier bad cases, but I'll make sure to only prosecute actual bad people"

Yea, but it's in Rust, sooo that's prob why no one has done it yet

I've also thought about forking it and re-writing it in something I actually know like C#, but I've only ever rewritten something from another language I didn't know (C++) a few times and they were MUCH smaller projects than something like Lemmy so it'd be a massive undertaking for me alone LMAO
