What is your favorite new word for Tweets?

I heard “Xclamations” somewhere which I will admit is somewhat clever. Too long though. And also “X” sucks. “Twitter” and “tweet” are way too iconic and this was a terrible move. Musk’s reputation is what’s killing the service, not the branding. The name and logo were a couple of the only things the creators got right in the first place.

What I find when I follow tags is that my feed is now totally flooded with hundreds of new toots every time I log in - how do you deal with this? It’s way too much for me to ever go through and get anything meaningful out of it.

Vinegar is a Safari extension for iOS that turns the YouTube media player into a generic iOS one, completely bypassing all of these restrictions. I’m not savvy enough to know if it’s something Google can kill or not, but it’s working great for me right now. Even lets you do PiP and background play.

Build a personal Steam-like gaming platform for your video game collection

As a guy who has a lot of experience with old emulated Nintendo games and things like that, I keep a bunch of ROMs on a cloud storage service for backup. But all those files add up and eat storage space. For a service like this, do you just have the installers themselves stored for easy installing/uninstalling? How big are those files, for storage purposes? I have a lot of PC games, but, you know, I don’t like paying for all of them. Are you able to have tons of “alternative” Steam games or does storage space run out quick?
