        Nobody wants to do business with unstable nazis people

        Plenty of businesses ready and willing to do business with stable (and rich) Nazis, dictators and slavers. Look at the line of people and businesses more than ready to make deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, etc

        If you are rich and have a stable government, there’s no amount of human rights violations and genocides stopping corrupt fuckers from trying to make deals with you and profit.

          It took Nintendo years to enable Bluetooth on the switch. The same tech the pro controller and joycons use. Years. Modders had it nearly day one of opening the console.

          How do I get a screenshot to my phone?

          • Turn off WiFi, enable it to make a temp local wifi, scan a QR code. Then open a web page and download them.

          PlayStation and Xbox:

          • You can just upload them to the network you already pay for, or put them on a flash drive.

      You’re likely right. At the same time, consoles integrating Twitter made it look more legitimate, like a part of people’s daily lives. Twitter’s legitimacy continues to decline.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The integration was removed as part of the Nintendo Switch’s 18.1.0 update, taking away the ability for users to link their X account with the console, or post in-game screenshots from Super Smash Bros.

    The removal of these features comprised the majority of the 18.1.0 update, which also includes some general stability improvements and ditches support for linking social media accounts via the Switch’s Friend Suggestions feature.

    Nintendo announced these changes last month but didn’t explicitly state the reason for pulling support for X.

    Given Switch users can still share their content to Facebook, it likely has something to do with pricing changes to the X API which now starts at $42,000 a month for enterprise customers.

    Microsoft didn’t mention X’s API update when it removed the ability for Xbox consoles to share game uploads to the service last April, nor did Sony when it followed suit in November for the PS5 and PS4.

    Cost may not be the only factor as Slack said it had also pulled support because the API updates impacted the functionality of its own X integration, but regardless of the reason, console gamers will now have a hard time connecting directly with the platform.

    They all have ways to send screenshots to the mobile apps if I’m not mistaken and with Twitter jacking up API prices since Elon took over, it makes perfect sense just to discontinue support

      I haven’t used the PlayStation or Xbox ones, but the Switch mobile device media transfer is remarkably awkward to use. The Switch will broadcast an ad hoc SSID which you can connect a device to and then hit a web server hosted by the Switch to get your pictures. As if that wasn’t already kind of awkward lots of phones will fight you on connecting to the SSID because it doesn’t have an internet gateway, so they consider it a bad connection and just automatically switch back to mobile data.

        It is classic Nintendo, to have some annoying awkward system for a thing that has been already done well for years.

        I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not, but I will assume you aren’t.

        You see, X is the terrible new name for Twitter that we all hate, and so these vidya game companies are removing Twitter integration from their consoles. They’re axing the integration (meaning they’re killing it with an axe). Axe sounds like X.

      Twitter has a pretty solid metal (music) community that I’ve come to know and appreciate over time. We share new bands, our opinions on albums, all that good stuff.

      Not everything has to be related to politics. People aren’t “suspicious” because they don’t share all your views.

        This is problem with platform lock in. Be it discord, X, FB groups, Reddit. Communities form and then fragment as the members who realize there are better open options leave.

        The users of the web have enough desktop and laptop cpu cycles to spare for passing a few decentralized messages around without killing battery life or performance. We don’t need these experience degrading/dehumanizing ad platforms to underpin our internet. That’s just a narrative peddled by companies who aim to make obscene profit on top of their already obscene profits.

      Why? I have an account because I follow about a dozen people I’d like to see the updates for. I don’t post or search around. Some journalist and sports people. Just because someone you don’t like owns it doesn’t mean anyone who uses it is a piece of shit or whatever. It’s still functionally the same for a lot of functions. Do I use it as much as I used to? No. But I haven’t seen anything worse there than I did at Reddit or here.

        I’m sure you’re not a piece of shit, but by still having a Twitter account equals to supporting the platform and its owner (a proven piece of shit). Even if you’re not giving it any traffic by being logged in or following users (which you’re doing), you’d be giving it your support.

        By unfollowing your sports people and quitting the shithole altogether you’re sending a clear message that the platform is dying (it’s already dead for many) and it’s high time for people to find alternatives.

        You made a coherent argument as to why you use a service, specific to yourself. You get downvoted for doing so. Never change, lemmy.

          I remember when I was a kid, at some point in early highschool we had a colleague who was a bit dumb and had blond hair (in a country were that’s pretty rare) so he was commonly bullied and called “piss head” and I did join on the bullying once or twice.

          Still to this day I sometimes think of it and feel guilty of, even as a kid myself, having been an asshole to that kid simply to feel I was part of the group.

          Sometimes I have the impression that even here in Lemmy a lot of supposedly adults either were always assholes and will always be so, or didn’t go through that part of maturing were you figure out that pilling up on somebody just to be “one of the crowd” isn’t exactly a mature adult thing to do.

          Or maybe I’m just overeading it or projecting.

        When you describe someone else’s grievance as “someone you don’t like” or “says something you think is bad”, you’re adding an implication that the actual reason is irrelevant. It makes it look like you don’t understand the reason at best, or are deliberately minimizing it at worst.

              No it’s because you brought up shit I’m not talking about. I just mean someone might use something for a purpose despite what the owner of the the thing is. I hate Elon Musk, I think he’s a garbage person. But so is most large company owners. There’s still some people that I follow that use it so I’ll use it. It was a sess pool outside certain communities before musk, and it will be now too. Just like Facebook, tiktok, Reddit etc, everything has objectionable content and harmful content by somebody. And every platform has moderation.

    Surprised that they didn’t remove it earlier

    At $42k per month I would have removed/disabled it immediately

    Why would I need to pay that kind of money to let my users to post on your social where you’re monetizing it with ads and using the content to increase user engagement? Should be the opposite!

      It’s not that simple. That’s not fair to their innocent user base who used that as their primary login. That’s why this is actually a big deal, it’s technically difficult since it’s so integrated, and it screws over some of their users. So giving them a fair chance to migrate off is the right thing to do.
