It’s pretty crazy how you have to buy RAM now. In the late 2000s / early 2010s you could just download that shit for free.

You know what’s absolutely horrifying? The fact Monsters taste completely normal after sitting open for more than 24hrs on your desk

Ah yup.

No one is owed compensation when a platform takes back their username, no matter how long they’ve had it. It sucks, but those are the terms you agreed to.

Twitter/X has reserved the right to reclaim usernames since 2009, and Instagram added “for any reason” in 2013.

Elon Musk took a $40,000 username from a guy who had owned it for 16 years.

He paid him absolutely nothing.
Not even a dollar.

Instead, he was offered a T-shirt and a tour of Twitter’s headquarters.

This is the story of Gene X. Hwang the first @X username

2007

- photographer from San Francisco
- co-founder of Orange Photography
- registers @x on Twitter
- keeps the username for 16 years

over the years

account grows to ~53,000 followers
receives offers of up to $40,000 for the handle

But he refuses to sell

2014

- hackers steal his x account
- Twitter helps him recover it

July 23, 2023

- Elon Musk announces Twitter will become X
- Gene is in Canada playing in a pinball tournament

He has no idea what’s coming

July 25, 2023

- Twitter officially becomes X
- the company wants x
- Gene receives an email from Twitter support

“Your user handle is affiliated with X Corp.”

his username is taken and gets a new one @x12345678998765

what X offers him

- company merchandise
- exclusive tour of X headquarters
- meeting with the management team

$0.

Gene even asks if he can have the old blue Twitter bird sign being removed from headquarters.

they say no.

October 2025

X launches its Handle Marketplace
rare usernames can cost $2,500 to over $1 MILLION

users must maintain a paid subscription
lose the subscription, potentially lose the handle

the same company that took x without paying its owner now charges people for access to rare usernames.

16 years building an identity.

$40,000 in offers rejected.

and all he got was an offer of merchandise and an office tour.

BROTHER.

You know you’re about to witness historic levels of dogshit takes when both of these profile pictures show up in the same thread.

TIL you can doomscroll ads on Daily Mail’s site lmao

@kimmonismus It’s confusing because they’re having to communicate to grandfathered plans. If you subscribed to 200 after Sept 30th you have “half” the usage of the grandfathered plans.

Pro 200s who aren’t grandfathered get doubled and the grandfathered accounts stay at their current usage.

you could not waterboard this information out of me

Let Claude go to town on my gaming PC, and it fixed:

- 100MB/s SSDs are now ~3,500 MB/s
- SSD firmware upgrade, no longer stalls ~4s
- XMP on, RAM went from 2133 MHz (default) to 3200 MHz
- Wrong HDMI cable, switching to DisplayPort, resolution from 3440×1440 -> 5120×2160

The new of Arc getting sunset and a new clone popping up every other day, I ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole.

Ended up building my own framework and a couple browsers just to see what was possible.
