Is anyone still playing OpenClaw? I've already shut it down!
Previously, I installed OpenClaw on a Linux mini host and experienced its functionality, which was indeed quite good.
Although the power of this host is only 12 watts, I really don't know what to ask it to do for me, so I turned it off.
It's a cool Microblogging platform! I like here.
Although it looks like X or Tumblr here, Minorblog's interface is cleaner!
And I think the black style is cool!

Making it on YouTube these days isn't about "going viral" anymore—it's about building a scalable ecosystem.
If you're waiting for that AdSense check to pay your rent, you're playing a losing game. The real money is in the architecture you build around your content.
First off, niche down until it hurts. General lifestyle vlogs are a graveyard for creators. You want to be the person people go to for "mid-century furniture restoration" or "high-yield backyard gardening."
When you own a specific corner of the internet, your audience isn't just viewers; they're high-intent leads.
Once you have that core tribe, skip the middleman. Affiliate marketing is the low-hanging fruit. If you're using a specific camera or a specific fertilizer, link it.
That passive income often eclipses ad revenue in the first year. But the "pro move" is launching your own digital products.
Whether it's a specialized LUT pack for editors, a 4-week fitness program, or a detailed PDF guide, selling directly to your fans keeps 100% of the profit in your pocket.
Don't ignore sponsorships, but don't sell out for cheap. A brand deal should feel like a natural recommendation to a friend, not a commercial break.
If a product doesn't fit your brand, say no. Your integrity is the only thing that keeps people coming back.
Lastly, treat your channel like a funnel. Use Shorts to grab attention, but use your long-form videos to build trust.
Every video should have a clear goal: sign up for the newsletter, buy the merch, or join the community.
Stop checking your view count and start checking your conversion rate. That's how you turn a hobby into a career.
The recent White House meeting with Canadian leaders got way more chaotic than people expected.
Everyone thought it would just be routine trade talks, but the "51st state" topic took over the whole conversation and sparked huge online debates across both countries.
President Trump made it clear that the idea of Canada becoming America's 51st state is not a joke during the oval office meeting.
This statement immediately triggered backlash from Canadian officials and netizens.
Most Canadians see it as disrespectful to their national sovereignty, while many US netizens are split on the bold comment.
Beyond the controversial topic, the two sides barely made solid progress on cross-border trade and security cooperation.
It's funny how a casual provocative remark overshadowed all practical diplomatic discussions.
This awkward meeting definitely strained bilateral relations a little bit.
Consumer confidence has dropped to a new low this month, and honestly, no one's surprised.
Ordinary people are feeling more economic pressure every day, and it's starting to affect every household's spending habits.
The main concerns are super clear: lingering inflation risks, ongoing Middle East military tensions that threaten fuel prices, and unstable trade policies.
Many families are cutting back on non-essential purchases like travel, dining out, and luxury goods.
Small business owners also report weaker customer traffic and lower monthly revenue.
Economic analysts warn that low consumer confidence could slow down domestic economic growth in the second quarter.
Right now, most people are choosing to save money rather than spend, worried about future price hikes and job market uncertainty.
I really hope the government can roll out effective policies to stabilize public confidence soon.
Honestly, I was pretty surprised to hear the latest ruling from the US International Trade Court this week.
The court officially struck down the federal government's 10% global import tariff policy, saying it lacked valid legal basis under the 1974 Trade Act.
This is a huge win for American businesses and several state governments that filed the lawsuit.
A lot of local companies have been struggling with rising import costs for months.
Small manufacturers and retail shops bore the brunt of these tariffs, with higher material costs forcing many to cut profit margins or even raise consumer prices.
The court's permanent ban on the tariff for involved enterprises brings much-needed relief.
What's interesting is that over 20 other US states failed to join the successful appeal due to insufficient evidence.
It shows how divided state and federal trade policies can be right now.
I hope this ruling pushes the White House to rethink its trade strategy instead of sticking to rigid tariff rules that hurt ordinary Americans the most.
When talking about the most influential video platforms in the US, YouTube and TikTok always top the list, yet they differ hugely in overall traffic, user scale and audience traits in 2026.
According to latest American social media data, YouTube still dominates the US video market with an overwhelming traffic lead.
Its monthly website traffic hits over 12 billion visits, far surpassing TikTok's roughly 560 million, creating a massive gap in overall market reach.
In terms of user coverage, YouTube holds a 93% penetration rate across all American age groups, appealing to kids, adults and seniors alike, making it the most universal video platform nationwide.
By contrast, TikTok has a smaller overall user base and traffic volume in the US, with around 150 million monthly active users.
It fails to cover diverse age groups like YouTube, but it boasts unmatched youth influence and user stickiness.
Nearly 70% of American teenagers are active TikTok users, and local users spend an average of 95 minutes on the app daily, higher than YouTube's average usage time.
The core difference is clear: YouTube relies on long-form content and powerful search functions to attract stable, universal traffic for study, work and entertainment.
TikTok thrives on algorithm-driven short videos, focusing on casual scrolling and high interactive engagement.
Simply put, YouTube wins in total traffic and full-age coverage, while TikTok dominates young American users' daily screen time with stronger user activity.
A huge shift I've felt recently is that TikTok is slowly replacing Google for young Americans like me when it comes to daily searches.
It sounds unbelievable, but it's totally true for our generation.
Whenever I want to look up travel tips, quick cooking recipes, college life hacks, budget fitness guides, or even honest product reviews, I open TikTok first instead of Google or Bing.
Traditional search engines are full of formal, lengthy articles, corporate content, and outdated information, which takes too much time to filter through.
In contrast, TikTok offers short, straightforward, visual videos posted by real people with real experiences. For casual daily questions, video content is way more intuitive and easier to follow than plain text.
2026 social media reports also confirm that under-30 American users increasingly prefer TikTok search over traditional search engines for lifestyle and daily queries.
Even though TikTok still ranks behind YouTube, Facebook and Instagram in overall US traffic volume, its search function is rapidly gaining traction among young people.
It's fascinating to see how a social video platform is rewriting our daily information-searching habits and becoming the most practical lifestyle reference tool for American youth.
The rise of AI agents is taking the international tech world by storm.
Both GPT and Claude are adding more autonomous features, letting AI plan tasks, do research and finish multi-step work without you guiding every single move.
This is definitely the next big wave of artificial intelligence.
It’s wild how fast OpenAI keeps upgrading GPT.
Every new update brings smarter logic, better conversation flow and way stronger multimodal ability.
I use it for daily chatting, content drafting and even simple problem solving, and it never fails to surprise me with how human-like its responses are getting.
Lately I can’t stop messing around with different AI tools overseas.
GPT and Claude have totally changed how I study and work.

I've been using Claude a lot lately and I have to say, its long context window is still unbeatable.
Reading huge research papers, long business documents and full-length articles is so effortless.
No other AI model overseas can handle super long texts as smoothly as Claude does.
Honestly, the global AI race right now is absolutely insane.
GPT, Claude, and Gemini are dropping new updates nonstop every single week.
It's crazy how fast their reasoning, multimodal and creative skills keep getting better and better.
You can really feel how artificial intelligence is changing everyone's daily life overseas.
I thought no hackers would bother with the new website, so I didn’t activate any defense measures.
The entire website was tampered with today, and even the wp-admin backend is unreachable.
Then, under Gemini’s guidance, I rebuilt the website and restored the previously published articles.
