@RyanGurry @TweetGoblin14 @securitybrahh at an individual level you have to draw a line when privacy becomes far too inconvenient for ur own good. many alternatives are still inferior and there are people out there with actual lives that wants to allocate free time elsewhere than being paranoid of a non existent threat

@TweetGoblin14 @securitybrahh Ur literally doing the meme lol. Privacy isn’t just about “hiding” your “secrets” from the world. Why do you think data mining is a billion dollar industry? Your data is used to manipulate you, control the information you see, price gouge you, and much more. Un-brainwash urself

@svpercraigg @lunglesschest yeah I thought that was obvious

@lunglesschest i'm pretty sure that that's not blushing that's a Fever, and tomoe is getting close to measure said fever /nm

bandori is the only franchise that can put racism and incest in the same card

@_jameshatfield_ @Ryanseptus @davepl1968 you have nothing but javascript on your github bro pipe down

@Ryanseptus @davepl1968 I fairly certain I wipe my ass with more technology than you have expertise in.

I taught the elementary kids' computer lab at the local elementary school for about ten years. By about fourth grade, the kids vary widely in PC ability. You'll have one kid porting Doom and one kid crying because CAPS LOCK is on and he can't log in. One kid trying to eat toner while another fixes the projector. A lot of that is comfort - you can tell some kids use a PC at home a great deal while others have seemingly no exposure. Does it matter? No idea! I understand limiting screen time and so on, but sometimes kids who genuinely have a knack for it are being held back by good intentions! When I sold my company, we donated all the extra PCs and monitors to the school... a couple of dozen Dell Dimension 4200s and so on. Absolutely required for any mid-2000s computer lab!

@trea_zzhure @puritystats ur an ignorant piece of shit

@puritystats Show some concern. Call for help. Reach out to 911. Alert the neighbors or anyone around. Show some level of EMPATHY! Don’t just be nonchalant and unbothered. WE ARE HUMANS!

The fuck is she supposed to do 😭😭😭

@aakashgupta larp harder

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.

@durreadan01 mf if it aint broke dont fix it

“But it can’t do data transfer” Yeah, for now, but what’s stopping them from making a magnetic port that charges as well as data transfers? The point is, now we just can’t have anything new or innovative. We’re stuck.

Thanks to EU for mandating type C, we have no chances of ever getting anything like this. 💀

@EMizzle202 @D162Michele idgaf its a burner account

@chuunideko @D162Michele Sure any device connected to the internet or smart home devices can all be used for surveillance. I see you’re on twitter so it looks like you trust it enough to make this comment unnecessary.

I never really understood this fear from westerners about China stealing their data. Is Xi Jinping going to find out what you had for dinner? Or steal that $100 you have in your bank account?

@rxdproductions @KeijiDX7 theyre literally kids bro

@KeijiDX7 Gian and Suneo suck ass imo I only like Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka Gian and Suneo are the most annoying characters I've ever seen in my fucking life

Their friendship will always be a mystery to me. Like do ya’ll hate each other or not??

@EMizzle202 @D162Michele so literally facebook, google, twitter (you're on it right now), etc.?????

@D162Michele I don’t think this person has any idea what kind of data can be gathered from you. In a bulk surveillance with not so complicated software you can influence, extort, blackmail etc. Someone else said it, sit this one out.

@Ryanm7288 @Vinsmoke_Benji @realcouri - says competitive minecraft players since 2015

@Vinsmoke_Benji @realcouri Especially after what happened with Marlow. I think we as a community need to start taking cheating more serious and actually start cracking down on it more.

Today I'm beyond excited to announce the biggest project I could ever imagine. Gridlock is going to reshape, redefine, and revolutionize the Minecraft Event scene and Minecraft Esports. playgridlock.gg :)

@theterk @mikesulsenti this argument makes no sense because then you should never have used an arch based distro

@mikesulsenti It helps people understand that Linux isn't as easy as many say it is. I interact with a lot of people who play on console and they want to compare against PC. My posts highlight where an average gamer will struggle to accept Linux.

You are supposedly a very technical person working at a silicon manufacturer but you are stumped at the first step you are supposed to do when using an Arch distro: Update your package manager database (sudo pacman -Syu) The issue here though is that instead of looking up why or consulting an LLM (you work in AI don't you?) you're here on Twitter instead And you say in replies "well a normal user shouldn't have to do this" Okay. Then don't use Arch. Use Fedora, Bazzite, or whatever (FYI CachyOS has a welcome screen app that has GUI buttons for you to do this)

@loyalmoses it's only because people have grown up with windows. switch it around and linux would've had a chance

I don’t like using Windows at all, but no, Linux will never be a reliable desktop OS for mainstream use. Never.

@zlK151lf4iI60 @4rch1er fym notice the game was in closed beta + i have 90% of 5* with 40k left as f2p and the only reason i dont have everyone is because i havent rolled their respective banner

@chuunideko @4rch1er what a cope, doubling gacha cost without any notice is already a big red flag

You guys might as well delete the male Tyrant at this point, lol.

@zlK151lf4iI60 @4rch1er ive played since launch the gacha is forgiving as shit bro

@4rch1er Fck this game, their greediness is already making me question it but with lack of Mtyrant I'm just going to leave this shit

@MinecraftMeme16 I completely forgot how to setup a Minecraft server. I used to be a pro 😭

This one goes out to my fellow OG Players

@h0pium527 @TKohoto u just just like jerking it and not see them as actual people

@TKohoto 🥱🥱🥱is what you do when you see real life greatness. Bro needs halps

Thank god for anime and artists, which nuked my lewd perception so much that if I see something like this in real life, I'm just gonna go 'wow, nice body' and that's it lol.

@just_luqman001 @DoctorLemma only rtards like you live purely for money

Deleting an app bringing in $50k daily because of 'peace of mind' sounds like a premium spiritual attack. His village people didn't even use a subtle method; they just went straight for his reasoning capacity. Bro could have easily bought a private island, turned off his phone, and let the whole world be addicted in peace. We are truly not sharing the same problems in this life. 😭

In 2014, a programmer in Vietnam deleted the most downloaded game on earth because he said it was ruining his life. He was making $50,000 a day when he did it. Dong Nguyen grew up in a village near Hanoi. He discovered video games through Super Mario Bros as a kid and started coding his own at 16. He built Flappy Bird in two to three days using a bird character from a game he’d already cancelled. The gameplay was inspired by bouncing a ping pong ball on a paddle for as long as you can. He thought existing mobile games were too complicated and wanted something anyone could play on the move. He released it quietly in May 2013. Nobody noticed. For five months, nothing happened. Then a well-known YouTuber reviewed it. Downloads surged. By the end of January 2014, Flappy Bird was the most downloaded free app on the planet with over 50 million downloads. Nguyen, who had been working alone from Hanoi, was suddenly earning $50,000 a day from in-app adverts. Then it turned. Parents complained the game was ruining their children’s lives. Players sent him messages blaming him for their broken phones and lost jobs. Paparazzi camped outside his house. He stopped sleeping. On 8 February 2014, he tweeted: “I can call Flappy Bird a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.” Twenty-two hours later, he deleted it from every app store. Phones with the game still installed were listed online for thousands of dollars. The internet assumed it was a publicity stunt. It wasn’t. In an interview shortly after, he sat chain-smoking and said the game was designed to be played for a few relaxed minutes. “But it happened to become an addictive product. I think it has become a problem. To solve that problem, it’s best to take down Flappy Bird. It’s gone forever.” He still lives in Hanoi. He still makes games through his small studio, dotGears, which has six employees. He stays out of public life. In 2024, a company acquired the Flappy Bird trademark and announced a reboot. Nguyen said he has no connection to it.
