I think it's interesting how text communication has shifted since nobody pays per message anymore and they're always displayed in a threaded view,
so you can split stuff into multiple messages as a rhetorical device

Hey everyone, me and my boyfriend @Stereoscopic need to replace our bed as soon as possible. We are both heavy so we need a sturdy, high end bed that will last us long and allow us to sleep well, as the poor quality of our sleep currently has a negative effect on our health and well-being.

We cannot afford such an expense by ourselves just now so we are making a PayPal pool if people want to help us. Please consider helping if you can!

"You’ve likely never heard of 82-year-old computer scientist Lynn Conway, but her discoveries power your smartphones and computers."

Thanks to the @haecksen I even have a sticker about her on my laptop with the phrase "hack the cistem". Her story has to be heard, and she's an inspiration for trans women.

(Content note on some cissexist wording in the article)

this is in addition to another new feature that lets you access the Switch's screenshot storage via USB, I'm assuming they just present it as mass storage

this media transfer feature is done in a really cool way that ensures most device with WiFi and a web browser should be able to use it:

  • the Switch opens a wifi network
  • the first QR code is a Wifi QR code containing the SSID and password (you can just type it in, just press + to display the info)
  • the second QR code opens 192.168.0.1/index.html, which is a webpage hosted on the Switch
  • from that page, you can just long press and save the images, or click a link to download the video files

there's some other good stuff in this update too, like a way to see which games are popular among your friends, a shortcut to Switch Online from the homescreen and some new Mario icons
