I get it but eh... You've released games that allowed worse to be honest.
Among the restrictions as explained on the japanese website, it seems to basically remove the easiest options to share, forcing to either use USB transfer or simply the SD card. You can still share, just intentionally harder.

To support Nintendo’s commitment to creating experiences that are welcoming and enjoyable for everyone, we have decided to place restrictions on certain image‑sharing features in #TomodachiLife: Living the Dream.

Microsoft is already under active consumer boycott due to BDS. If that didn't sway you to stop spending money on Xbox and Activision and Bethesda then maybe this will.

With “Wikimedia Enterprise”, AI companies have to use (and pay for) dedicated APIs to scrape data, which helps to limit the strain on Wikimedia servers. (See eg arstechnica.com/information-...) This is a good thing for Wikimedia and for its readers.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

The concept of "Trying to trick people into giving specific answers in what amounts to a customer survey" is wrong at so many levels.
Like, you're supposed to WANT to get accurate answers in those.

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!
