the UK actually fucked the lives of every single person born from 1996-2006 and they actually need to pay for their crimes WTF IS THISSS

GB News exclusive Starmer spends correct allowance on Downing Street flat Meanwhile Nigel Farage can’t quite recall how his girlfriend’s impoverished parents paid for his £850k house in Clacton You know, the one he forgot he didn’t actually own Journalistic bin juice ☝️

Like Angela Raynor's £1,500 'minor administrative error', only 70 times bigger.

@unfamiliartunes OGs use Xfer LFO tool when too last to side chain with a compressor

ok but genuinely what was THIS. why did people pay 15 bucks of their own money... for THIS THING what were we thinking

"I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house at college graduation," Median age for first time buyers in the UK is 34 In 1979 it was 26 years old

Exactly 1 year ago, to the second the Silvertown tunnel was officially opened, and as of today the bike shuttle bus still exists, therefore @jayforeman is now obligated to eat his bike, or at least a small portion of it. Thank you all for this!

Let me explain exactly why Apple still uses drag-to-install in 2026, because the joke here accidentally proves Apple right. A macOS .app is a single self-contained folder disguised as a file. Every dependency, every framework, every resource lives inside it. Drag it to Applications, it works. Drag it to Trash, it's gone. No registry entries. No leftover DLLs. No uninstaller that misses half the files. Windows installers scatter fragments across Program Files, AppData, the registry, system32, and a dozen temp directories. Uninstalling a Windows app is an archaeological dig. Five years later you're still finding config files from software you forgot you owned. Linux is worse. Dependency hell is so common they named it. Entire package managers exist to solve the problem of "I installed something and now nothing else works." Flatpak and Snap were invented specifically to copy what macOS bundles already did natively. The macOS bundle architecture came from NeXTSTEP in 1989. Steve Jobs brought it to OS X in 2001. The core design hasn't changed because the core design was correct. An app is a folder. Installation is a copy. Removal is a delete. Three operations that map perfectly to how humans already think about files. The drag-to-install window with the arrow isn't lazy UX. It's the entire thesis of the system made visible. You are literally just moving a folder. There is no "installation" step because there's nothing to install. The app is already complete. Every other OS eventually tried to get here. Windows got MSIX. Linux got Flatpak. Mobile figured it out from day one because phones shipped after Apple proved the model. The pattern everyone else converged toward is the pattern this tweet is calling outdated. The funniest part: the app being dragged in that screenshot is Claude. An AI that can write code, analyze documents, and reason about complex systems. And the most advanced step in getting it onto your machine is holding down a mouse button and moving your wrist two inches to the right. That's not a design failure. That's a 37-year-old architecture so good that the most sophisticated software on earth still ships inside it.

@TomMisch Thankfully now I have a great reason to order multiple copies

@boot15_vu But the social contract in recent years doesn't work like this when young people are financially priced out of home owning and starting families with normal jobs and goals. Where I grew up a standard family house was ~2-3x salary in 1975 and now it's ~14-18x

What a profound little paragraph ...... "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." ~ Dr. Adrian Rogers

@natemixing Composition plugins are lacking imo. I do use Scaler and it's good in many ways, but I think it's a bit clunky

What plugin you dream about but it doesn’t exist?

We often think that the effects of class background are washed out by education. But we show that two people who did the same subject at the same university at the same time, and got the same grade …. end up earning quite different amounts when they enter the labour market

Got to say, if the research of Goodwin's book was conducted mainly by AI, then he's done a terrible job of hiding it

@Quodvox5 @LoftusSteve But that's my point - the fact I personally have met older people who are less informed isn't representative of the whole, and everyone's anecdotal experience is pure speculation driven by experiences

@Naishig @LoftusSteve Your anecdote is so useful.

I always find these fascinating. There's a high percentage of people under 30 that have absolutely no clue about anything but are absolutely sure in their opinion based on nothing but vibes.
