Nobody wants to do business with unstable nazis.
There are stable ones?
There are stable geniuses, but I want nothing to do with them.
moooom I’m seeing Nazis everywhere again
Lmao

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.
Nah, plenty of people want to do business with nazis. Unfortunately.
Five people here think Nazi business is fine. Yikes.
e: wait, 6.

It took them this long? Impressive. Idiotic, but still impressive.
They probably just waited for the contracts to end hehe :')

Elon Musk comes out onto a stage and announces that Tesla is entering the game console market when?
I believe you can already play games on the Tesla’s screen.
I do hope they’re disabled when driving…
Just rented a Tesla on holiday. None of it works while driving.
Have to say though I do like the car!
some do work, but not fullscreen restricted to the passenger side of the screen
I would be interested to know how much of Twitter’s use was from these integrations. This could be an absolute drop in the bucket.
I used this exclusively to get screenshots off my switch easily. Still very happy about bigger companies cutting ties with the muskrat.
Getting screenshots or videos off the Switch is laughably arcane. Nintendo is so weird about modern tech conveniences.
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.
Steam Deck: Syncthing automatically sends them to my computer :)
Syncthing is a god sent tool. Maybe I should use it for that if I can on my Xbox and Switch. I know I can for steam screenshots.
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.
The original article contains 272 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 27%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
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 mean 50k per license por console seems insane
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 recall being baffled by the Wii friend code system when Xbox live was so clearly better in every way
Looks like we just aXed Twitter integration (get it? Because X)
I don’t get it, can you Xplain?
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.
I would’ve Xpected you to get their joke!
Yeah honestly I’m kinda bad at this.
Good. Frankly at this point if you’re still on on Twitter I think it’s suspicious.
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.
Metal bands that hang out on the Nazi website? Okay.
I hate to break this too you but there’s Nazi bullshit on every platform.
“Nazi” website lol. Ok buddy.
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.
Long past that point… If your not on mastodon I don’t really care what you have to say. Bluesky is just another capitalist platform used to motize working class people’s content.
I’ve oddly seen lemmy posts on mastodon lately and it kinda secured to me this is the real “web 3.0”
nah, this is how the web was always designed to work.
If you’re on social media I don’t really care what you have to say, if it was anything important it would be in traditional medias.
🙄 what a brain dead take. Why didn’t you go with, “nobodies idea has any value unless they get paid to said it” fuck your stupid ass hierarchy.
Whoosh!
Obviously 😅
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.
…Or, perhaps, do change. Y’all can still sniff your own farts if y’all pull y’all’s heads slightly out of your asses.
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.
Given this choice, I’m confident Lemmy will double down, every time.
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.
“If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.”
Nice straw man
Just because you don’t like my reply…
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.

Fucks sake
Interesting that X only pays you that much to include their integratio-
Oh, they want YOU to pay THEM…!?
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! The social network paying the game console maker in order to get preferential treatment and prominent share buttons
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.
Twitter as a login doesn’t need api access and it’s still free
They need to pay the absurd fees when they post screenshots on behalf of users. So, since it’s not a very important feature, it doesn’t make sense to pay at least half a million dollars per year for that
Because originally it was extremely cheap advertisement for your console and games?
Fucking good, everyone that still supports that wannabe fascist tool wears it as a badge of stupidity, at best.
Was a horrible idea before Musk also.
It wasn’t tho. It was a really great idea. It just became shit.
It was honestly pretty good being able to post clips and screenshots directly from a game
I’m not a gamer or a xitterhead but what would these consoles do with xitter integration.
Sharing screenshots and video captures.
The only place where I tried to use it was on Xbox back when Xbox One first came out, and I didn’t like the way it worked back then, so I didn’t really use it much. It didn’t send the actual media to Twitter, it posted a link to the file, and Xbox screenshots got deleted after 30 days. If I wanted to properly post it so that the media was actually hosted on Twitter, I had to save the full res media anyway.
(In fact actually saving full resolution Xbox screenshots used to be needlessly difficult. Only much later they added a way to save screenshots to OneDrive, which occasionally worked, and only very recently they decided they don’t bother with the Xbox screenshot hosting at all and auto-upload everything to OneDrive.)
you mean twitter? it’s called twitter
Xitter being pronounced “shitter” is pretty apt tho
no it’s pronounced Twitter as in Twitter
I agree and hate that you’re getting downvoted lol It’s fucking twitter. x is a letter
For uploading game clips I’d assume
For Nintendo, it was the only way to upload your screenshots to the internet if you don’t have a PC or phone with an SD slot. The other consoles have other integration you could use for images (and they all have YouTube for video) so this kinda sucks for Switch owners that have literally no other way of getting their screenshots online.
Nope there’s a feature that lets you download the screenshot to your phone wirelessly
Yeah, and it’s extremely janky.
It is. Last time I needed a screenshot I tried that, it never worked and I ended up removing the SD and reading from it.
Are they going to integrate mastodon instead?
No. They’ll integrate with Threads.
You’re joking right?
Remember, it’s Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. Not angels.
They’ll make their own fediverse. With blackjack. And hookers.
Nintendo: 🙋♂️
Fine, Nintendo, you don’t have to have the hookers.
Nintendo: 🙋♂️
No, you cannot dress Pikachu up as a prostitute.
Miyamoto: 🙋♂️
You can do whatever you want.
