mccLots of people looking at the Twitter free API shutdown and going "well I guess you won't be able to [X] anymore!!". But we're overlooking another, much worse possibility, which is that many of those things will keep happening, but now Twitter will be getting paid for them.
I still have my Playstation and Switch logins linked to Twitter accounts because even if I don't use Twitter the easiest way to get screenshots off those systems is to post them to a tweet on a burner account then download the image elsewhere. So when the free API goes down in a week, will that feature just stop working? Or will Sony/Nintendo cut a deal, and I'll just be earning Elon Musk five cents every time I save a screenshot? Horror
abadidea@mcc honestly it’s weird that this has always been the most practical method to extract screenshots. surely they can come up with a method other than “power down the fun device mid-game to extract its very small fiddly memory physically to stick it in a computer” or “authenticate to a third party website the player may or may not use that has no obligation to humor you”
@0xabad1dea The playstation app for mobile has a way of getting screenshots off but only if they were made in the last 14 days. Why? The playstation is on my wifi network, it's in the next room. Also as far as I know this doesn't help on a PC.
