Although the wood-grain Atari 2600 was also my first thought upon reading the title, I think the Wii's minimal footprint is impressive considering that—in the case of the original model—it's also a GameCube.

Wii Mini, Wii, and Wii U

In contrast to the Wii's 2006 release, the Wii Mini is arguably not yet 'retro' with its 2012 release, but definitely looks a lot sleeker, albeit not worth the loss of GameCube functionality for its minimal size savings.

Compared to both, the Wii U is super bulky, and lacks much use beyond improved emulation capabilities now that nearly all of its exclusives have been re-released for the Switch.

That's not going to keep them from selling it.

Their defense is the need to keep Firefox "financially viable", but if that keeps them from being able to broadly state that they won't sell our data, it's better to use a fork that prevents Mozilla from accessing that data in the first place.

For all non-fascists, the Gulf of Mexico is not a disputed name.

As long as scarcity increases revenues from enterprise customers, they have no incentive to increase the supply of gaming GPUs back to a level that fulfills all demand at a price that doesn't rip off consumers.

That's not foreign aid funding, it's payment for services already rendered.

Conservative anti-vax idiots are responsible for the measles outbreak in the first place, so Trump and his administration are entirely responsible for its impact for encouraging a distrust in science among conservative idiots.

The feature works as expected for communities, for which it's up to community moderators to label their communities as being NSFW or not. Maybe the community you found wasn't set as NSFW for some reason?

Not sure how it's set on a per-instance basis, but it definitely doesn't seem particularly useful in its present form for filtering instances if most SFW communities are from instances counted as NSFW by the Lemmy Explorer filter. A small problem in relative terms, but still something I thought was worth making note of. 👍

Had a question about instance blocking that I didn't want to create a whole thread for, so I thought I'd post it here as a reply instead.

In blocking all the communities I wasn't interested in, I noticed that several were neither loadable nor blockable.

In some cases, this seems to be an issue with the community itself, such as !thunder@lemmy.world not being blockable via Arctic nor the settings page of my lemmy.dbzer0.com account. In noting down the communities for which this occurred, I noticed that several have since disappeared, so perhaps federation glitches were the cause in other cases.

Yet for some (retarded.dev, xn--mh-fkaaaaaa.schuetze.link, endlesstalk.org, overctrl.dbzer0.com, lemmy.nine-hells.net, lm.boing.icu, flamewar.social, lemmy.parastor.net, and lemmy.tespia.org), I wasn't able to block the instances or their communities via Arctic, but was able to do so via the settings page of my lemmy.dbzer0.com account. Not a major issue, but still thought I'd make note of it.

Thanks again for your hard work in developing Arctic!

Not a common suggestion, but the Scrabble PS1 port holds up surprisingly well, all the more so for how few Scrabble video games there are.

And the same idiots would vote for him again in a heartbeat.

They should have thought more about his agenda beyond nodding along to his lies before voting for him. Although most people under-anticipated the insanity that has come to transpire, arguably making Trump's first term look tame in comparison, any level-headed person should still have been able to recognize the dangers inherent to the right's extremist rhetoric before the election and voted against it.

Just goes to show how easily swayed so many social media addicted Americans are, and although many of them might not admit it, tolerant of xenophobia and transphobia to the point of seeking perceived short-term gains at the expense of the civil rights and wellbeing of millions of their fellow Americans.
