An interesting idea: #money allow you to get space without other people. Have money? You can get a house instead of an apartment, fly first class to have fewer people around you, order grocery/food to be brought to you so you don't need to deal with others at the store...

It feels like @UberEats coupons are getting dumber and dumber. The latest one is get a discount from 10pm to 5am. To say that most places are closed here is the understatemet. The only restaurant that would qualify is what, iHop? 🤣

@forwardbluepac how do I opt out from never ending torrent of SMS spam from you? Every day random number sends requests for money. I don’t want to opt out from each random spam how do I block ALL your #spam

@RinoTheBouncer How will it run on XBox S though? Or will it just clamp down on image quality and number of NPCs will be severely restricted?

Estimation for #Supergirl in US was what, $39 mil? Pretty accurate after all, as current estimation is $38 mil but will probably get revised slightly by Tuesday to ~$37.4 mil. The real question will be how it'll hold next weekend. 53% drop or more? #boxoffice

@Cromwelp Just a normal life in rural areas where providers don't like the idea of fiber, and cable wrangling is too expensive :(

@Cromwelp I'm curious at the Grand Total Gigabytes it'll take to get game to playable state :) Initial 200Gb download hopefully in pre-downloaded state and then bonus 100Gb day one patch? A few days of dedicated download over DSL connection :(

So #Supergirl is, basically, a very short but fun #Lobo movie with some dull and boring Supergirl stuff thrown into it to make it full length. Can we just get a normal full size Lobo movie? It would be fun, instead of whatever _this_ is 😞

@RinoTheBouncer Probably yes when it's on sale. I generally like Devil May Cry combat so this could be fine

@Pirat_Nation "If you keep spending money on Marathon we miiiiiight think about potentially do something about Destiny 3". Reality if people do spend money on Marathon: "Pff, who cares about Destiny 3, look at our Marathon sales! MOAR Marathon!!!!"

Soooo... #DisclosureDay will be a "Disappointing Day"? 😅 $40 mil opening weekend or less? Given rather bad VFX quality hopefully it was cheap. Oh well.

Halp, internetz. How do I order @YouTube search results by date? As in I want _newest first_. Filters are shit because it's either "1 month" or "1 year". Nothing in-between. I know @Google generally sucks at #UX but this is getting ridiculous :( #Youtube #UI

Soooo.... cautious optimism? It's not going to change anything now, but maybe they'll try to re-reboot and pretend last iteration didn't happen (depending on who will win the rights -- Sony?)? #drwho deadline.com/2026/06/doctor…

Well I guess #Bluesky gave up on competing with @elonmusk and now pretends they never tried to be @X, and _actually_ wants to be #Reddit. I guess they want more drama and interaction in posts or something? cnbc.com/2026/06/04/blu…

@legalbytesmedia Going viral AND two court appearances. I guess there's a strict quota for "evil drivers use cellphone while driving" tickets to be issued. Also good luck to anyone who didn't use phone but has a hand so if office "saw" the use.... yeah

@mpopv Coming soon to developer interviews: In a few words describe the difference between "..." and gear menu options. What logic is used to assign options to one vs the other? How many right-side panes can you open? What is the scope of inner-most search/filter buttons? v_v

@MacRumors Are they going to add "Ultra Premium Instagram Experience $29.99 a month" that brings Instagram back to "you only see posts from accounts you're following, in chronological order"? 😆

@Nerfnow Yes, but "smug is THE personality" is the only way some writers can "write" the character, unfortunately. Plus they just scream "evil users" when it flops and move on to "write" another thing :(
