 typed versus untyped programming languages https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/tinysubversions/status/946525929420886016/ This was an extremely fun thing to do on a Sunday. People made chains of literally dozens of quote tweets saying nothing and other people would click through until they got to this tweet. My favorite moment was when the actress Elizabeth Banks said something like "oh my god I clicked all the way through just to get to this" https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/tinysubversions/status/706551077177417729/ my most popular politics tweet https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/tinysubversions/status/1346903269654683648/  @darius I wonder how hard it would be to import these into an ActivityPub thing of some sort.   @darius Tell me you loved that joke without telling me you loved that joke That time in 2008 I tried to explain Twitter to a very old person https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/tinysubversions/status/818037683  @darius I was older than that then. Betting you're older than that now @elithebearded I remember you from Usenet which is to say: yes @darius I posted to Usenet proper (instead of private hierarchies or alt.*) just yesterday. So remembering me from Usenet covers a large portion of my life.  @darius oh shit I was 31 and needed help understanding how the firehose worked and could you use an IRC client and were hashtags like chatrooms or @darius I remember this. I smiled at the gag and didn’t dig to bedrock. Learning more than six years later that it was, of course, Darius down there is the least expected and best plot twist of the day.     @darius now my head spins… this was a rather chaotic neutral thing to do. Now do it as lawful god… lawful good! |
