> oh I did use windows as my primary OS, it was Windows 95/98/XP on desktops, So you're definitely not in the amp of people who never claimed to use Windows, which is the group I was comparing you to. > Yes, I've clicked on Twitter links the same way I've clicked on ads, by accident. That's what I'm skeptical of. Twitter sucks, but sometimes it's literally the only place the source of a story is, like if Elon makes a newesworthy post or something. I'm not saying you had an account or anything, but literally never clicking on a link, hundreds of which have been submitted as HN stories alone, beggars belief.

> like if Elon makes a newesworthy post or something hahahaha! thank you! starting my day with a belly laugh is a great privilege! but seriously, just because most of the tech bros admire him, doesn't mean I need to hear every idiocy that comes out of his deranged mind. even when it's something truly interesting - I watched the space x double landing on YouTube a few hours after it happened several years ago - I don't need to be informed of every single thing the instant it happens.

  > hahahaha! thank you! starting my day with a belly laugh is a great privilege! That's a really weird reaction. Like, yeah, he's a clown, but he has still made tweets that get discussed in thew news and here on HN. > doesn't mean I need to hear every idiocy that comes out of his deranged mind. Elon was just one example. Plenty of other tech people, hackers, politicians etc post important stuff on twitter. I mean, juts search HN for submissions with twitter or x.com as the domain. There is no shortage of submissions, and it beggars belief you have never clicked on one.

    $x has released llm $y: I google for the gguf. $x has achieved $y. well good for them. I really don't understand the obsession with the idea that I must somehow be interested in something just because somebody else said it. I've been offered free newspapers before - I told them thanks, but I don't have a cat.

The point I'm making is Twitter has been too ubiquitous and important for you to have never clicked a submission at this site or a link to it somewhere, and not just accidentally.
