Oh man, this one gets Double Nerd Score!
2006 Windows XP had the best icons.
2006 is Vista though. The one XP used was 2001.
I’ve always said Vista had the best icons.
🧐
That’s Vista…
Vista had the best icons!
For a simple Twitter clone it has way to much hype. It tastes a lot like Google+ (RIP)
The most and perhaps only important thing is it is not helmed by Elon Musk. I’ll keep using it as long as that’s the case.
This is the biggest value proposition for it at the moment
I mean, Zuckerberg is neither any more egalitarian nor any more respectful of your privacy. Seems like a lateral move if that’s your thing.
I definitely wouldn’t call the Zucc a better person than Elon Musk, but at least he’s not as unpredictable.
Well, let’s be real: it’s caught on way better than Google+ and is already pretty mainstream with lots of people flocking over in need for a Twitter replacement. Google+ entered into a space that was saturated by Facebook with very little extra value (or none at all) when switching.
Google+ also infected other Google products and basically forced itself onto folks who didn’t even want it, making it tainted from the start. It’s not like Threads is being forced onto WhatsApp users or anything. The only thing that’s possibly going to be an issue is once they start adding advertising, but I doubt that’ll matter much.
Yeah but if google+ happened now it’s so better.
Twitter is on its knees and the Google userbase is more cohesive than ever.
Damn, that 2000 excuse for a garbage can was just as bad as Windows 2000! 😬
Excuse me? 2000 was the last great OS Microsoft ever made. They should have stopped there. It was NT in its prime. It was also, in my opinion, the last Windows OS to act like a computer instead of a toy and insulting my intelligence with dumbed down interfaces. It felt like Linux feels now. It felt like you’re in control of your computer.
XP was just 2000 with a toddler-esque Fisher Price skin.
What you got against Windows 2000?
Was incredibly stable and quick when compared to 95 and 98
Last Windows OS that I truly enjoyed using.
Windows 2000 was rough with some driver support, but otherwise was fantastic.
They are thinking of Windows ME.
Now THAT was a dumpster fire.
Golly, I hope so!
I miss the awesome Windows 95 Plus! High color version. It was way prettier than the Windows 98 high color version that is on the pic.
Classic, my man 🤝

What is WireMin for?
WireMin is similar to Twitter, but its decentralized structure ensures that there is no censorship and no risk of user data being stolen. Just Google it for more info.
Being decentralized doesn’t make you immune to censorship.
It is immune to censorship because creating an WireMin account does not require any personal information. Plus, its decentralized nature means that there is no central server and users cannot be banned or censored.
They don’t need personal information. If the owner of a server doesn’t like what you post , they can ban the account. They run the whole machine so if they really wanted to they could block your IP from even connecting in the first place!
Decentralization doesn’t mean you’re free to post whatever you want. It’s still someone else’s computer, and they make the rules. Federation doesn’t change that. Sure it’s harder to suppress information, but a few admins could easily coordinate against you if they so wanted.
It says it’s all about free speech. Not a nesting ground for right wing extremists I hope?
I already have mastodon but always happy to explore new to me options.
Does it use ActivityPub? What makes it different than Mastodon?
EDIT: Not a fan of it requiring an app. It also doesn’t look like it’s open source. That’s a no-go from me.
Kinda funny how Microsoft went the fuck back to the original but Meta
This illustration is missing Twitter as well, it is not a phase, I’d say it is a ramification together with Threads.
Can’t agree no more
Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook (old school trash at this point), Snapchat, Instagram, etc.
The corporate online space is trash.
Why did they decide to rotate the trash can, and then canceled that decision?
Because the finally realized that left facing trash is superior trash
it s honestly just scary to think if threads takes off zuckerberg will have even more of our data
He already has everything, check the Instagram specs. Threads is nothing new in that regard.
normie* people data
yea that s still more than 90% of the world population
If you do not want to, you don’t have to. It is good 🙂

Hmmmm… Weapons grade thrash
To Twitter
Pretty impressive they got so many people to sign up with a logo that looks like a kid scrawled it when he was bored in class
Pretty funny that the Windows ME one has the windows logo in the bin. They knew from the start it was a flop
It’s sadly edited in. Windows Me and 2000 shared the same trash icon.
