:fire: Immorality and liberals and twitter or some shit

@coldandtired I didn't think Notch even did anything anymore, much less anything worth tweeting about.

But he has nothing to do with it now, so why does he have 4 million people following him, waiting for him to post whatever it is he posts?
Nostalgia, most likely.

I think he still goofs around with toy games. He has some cow-clickerish thing on his website: http://game.notch.net/drowning/#

@coldandtired said in Immorality and liberals and twitter or some shit:
@Dragoon I don't get Twitter.
Minecraft is a great game, and Notch did something special in creating it himself, despite NotchCode being notoriously sketchy.
But he has nothing to do with it now, so why does he have 4 million people following him, waiting for him to post whatever it is he posts?
I could sort of understand 4 million people following a Minecraft update account so they know the moment an update drops, but I don't see anything remarkable in Notch's latest posts.
See, when you do much of the work on a massive project yourself, and said project goes on to become a household name, you gain these things called "clout" and "credibility." Additionally, people who appreciate your work and the positions you have held and/or ideas you have expressed in the past become your "fans."

Nice! Or perhaps Flematic?

I saw a Domino's ad last night, probably on Youtube, about a contest. They said they gave one guy a Noid. That's one thing I didn't want to remember.

@FrostCat So are you saying that you want to avoid the noid?

@Karla just don't go on Facebook.

@bb36e said in Immorality and liberals and twitter or some shit:
@Karla just don't go on Facebook.
It is the best way for me to keep in contact with friends and family. I don't call people and email is like if I don't respond to it immediately then I forget about it and never respond.

@Karla I guess it depends on age...my news feed is mostly full of :/

I have an interesting extended family. And I've gotten back in touch with childhood friends, high school friend, college friends, etc.
I ended up moving around a lot and I am horrible for keeping in touch. So it is nice to see pics of their families.
When Prince died I could commiserate with other fans since I ran into so few of them in real life.
But there is still crap.

Fortunately, the "repost picture" fiends tend to stream stuff from the same places again and again, rather than from lots of sources, so I can "I don't want to see more pictures from IFLS" or whatever.

Oh my god twitter's a shithole and nobody knows what to do about it. I heard rumblin's that it was packed with harassment, but this is ridiculous.
I love that the article ends 'follow me on twitter!'.

Nonsense--the best thing you could possibly do is get off Twitter.

Or never register an account to begin with!

From a personal point of view, yeah. I'm stunned nobody at twitter has any ideas. I guess they're bored and want to go home?

@Groaner said in Immorality and liberals and twitter or some shit:

Well, that.
I registered mine a long time ago in service of some web game or other. I've got a total of like 8 tweets.

I don't think I have any... I use it exclusively for checking CalTrain status.

Well this is interesting. I have 15 followers somehow (and I'm following 47). NFC how that happened...
Estimate tweet count ~180 due to Youtube apparently having gotten ahold of my account and tweeting sh*t out whenever I hit the like button on a video...

You know you can use Twitter without an account of your own, right?

Yup. 0 tweets. And 5 followers.

@Karla my mother doesn't understand email, she thinks you need a gmail account to email another gmail account ...

Yeah! Just like you need a mailbox in the same state as the person you want to send mail too, right?
-
@Tsaukpaetra I think she made a G+ account and assumed because it looked like a bit like facebook that must work like facebook. She has a computer savvy boyfriend though, so I expected him to kinda correct her mistake though.

I'm sorry she got introduced to email via Facebook....
-
@Tsaukpaetra She didn't. She is one of those people if anything looks different than Windows 98 she has no idea of how it is supposed to work. However her typing is amazing because she is a trained typist (on an actual typewriter).

Oh? Maybe she'll feel right at home with Windows 10 then!

@Tsaukpaetra
I've installed TeamViewer (no I don't have an account, I keep all the unique ids text file on my desktop, because they can't hack what is basically a private, public key pair if they don't know one or the other).lTBH mate, I can't complain too much because I am a complete retard with most tech . My usage of a computer these days includes a text editor, browser and spotify and that is about it. I still have no idea how itunes works because it doesn't work like a hifi ... and I still use VHS to record things on the television.

Until the bureaucracy starts rolling, that's essentially all I have for my Work PC (because the previous one hosed its hard drive and they require lots of requests to get software loaded on the replacement).

@Tsaukpaetra Basically my setup is:

Yeah, 10x more than what I received. I'm getting the feeling that they don't want me to work.

@Tsaukpaetra get paid and chill out on hacker news and move elsewhere when ready.

But it still blinks 12:00, right?
-
@boomzilla yep.

Don't worry, I don't think anybody does. All I know is that it might possibly not eat my MP3s if I'm lucky.
