This is so cool I can't wait for Nintendo to shut it down

What Nintendo are doing sucks but I don’t see them going after mods themselves. Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry hypothesises that shutdown of Switch emulators this late could mean they would be too much of a leg-up in building Switch 2 emulator. Nintendo, in their mind, didn’t have much choice. They don’t understand that piracy barely contributes to lost sales and benefits them in many other ways.

False. They have gone after mods including some BOTW ones

Those cases are consistent with their approach to current gen emulation. You’re not going to play those without emulators or mod chips they went after. Nintendo drew a line that was not crossed before.

What a lovely reading experience this is. If you close them they come right back.

I mean.......have you not discovered adblock?

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This is how it’s shown natively inside Voyager. Unless there is a way to install adblock onto the ios version, I’d have to pop every link out to a new browser. Not the end of the world, but then at that point I’d just browse lemmy outside of the app.

Adguard, it sets up as a vpn so it blocks ads in all apps.

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It seems the free version only works on Safari. And also does not appear to work on my phone once installed. I likely have to update everything to the latest versions. I’ve generally just stuck to firefox focus which does block things if I am on the browser.

One of the downsides of iOS I guess.

On android voyager can render web links inside Firefox without leaving the app

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yep. No matter what my default ios browser is set to, I think Voyager uses safari, could hopefully be a future update.

Adding to the other reply - I don’t have a VPN based Adblock on my iPhone, just Wipr and superagent for Safari, and this seem to be working in Voyager internal browser view as well.

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I may have to bite the bullet and just pay for something.

I guess the rule of "shutting the fuck up" regarding Nintendo fan games and mods doesn't apply to news sites.
