Occasionally, I tweet about topics that I'm interested in [like tech, books, Costa Rica &more] or places I'm at and
I also tweet blog posts, photos and videos.

@paulusranta @BurgJelle @ControlRemedy Thank you for posting this. And yes, it was weird.

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

@KN79KM @infuse So what are you using as an alternative to play those videos now?

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

I'm raising money for each 2nd-grader in my class to get a Scholastic book each month. $18 sponsors a student, but donations of $1 or $5 help too. Even if you can't give, a retweet or Facebook post helps. Thank you!

I'm raising money for each 2nd-grader in my class to get a Scholastic book each month. $20 sponsors a student, but donations of $1 or $5 help. If all my followers gave a $1, I'd have WAY more than enough. Even if you can't give, a retweet helps. Thanks! https://t.co/emtqb0nlED

@AlexNeto_ @markgurman Lots.

@PicturesFoIder Dad might not get it, but I’m confident they’ve been teaching his son in school how to do it that way for a few weeks before they gave him that test.

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

@MarkHamill One that’s far far away?

@iHoushouMarine @BasicAppleGuy Backup to a computer regularly.

The rumours are true. Netflix is thrilled that so many of you have been watching Sandman, and the thing we were all hoping would happen... has indeed happened...

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

How many major OS updates have those consoles gone through since 2000? To be clear, they're not removing it and the story is over, IF YOU UPDATE, it stays in the store, right? It came out in 2015 and was only updated once, correct? It isn't like they're requiring updates weekly.

[Protopop Games @protopop]

I feel sick. Apple just sent me an email saying they're removing my free game Motivoto because its more than 2 years old.

It's part of their App improvement system.

This is not cool. Console games from 2000 are still available for sale.

This is an unfair barrier to indie devs.

I noticed that he said "REVENGE of the Jedi".

[Ken Plume @KenPlume]

This whole commercial feels like a Star Wars pedant trap.

The new M1 Macs released in the past year have a smaller market share than all the older macs previously released? Seriously?!? With that logic, I feel the need to point out that with every new Apple Silicon Mac sold, that market share is going UP!!!

[Fuzzel @Fuzzel_]

@insect121 @bolehillbilly @HomeworldGame M1 macs have a significant lower market share than all macs even

@ronagirl @Sega__JEANAsis They show up for this very reason. So you know if someone placed a tracker on you. If your phone constantly senses the same tracker, it lets you know.

@N_A_Barnes @SamsungUK @rsmck You’re going to buy a nice 75 inch TV and not hook a real streaming box up to it? Please get a nice streaming box, and get some value out of that thing!

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

@dduane It’ll be the same day that you won’t actually need to give him your number for them to have your number.

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

There have been over 6 billion shots given, I’m sure a couple of people have died with in eight hours of getting the shot. Out of the last 6 billion Big Macs eaten, I’m sure a couple of people died within eight hours of that, it doesn’t mean a Big Mac caused it…

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

Someone on Instagram claimed she knew 2 people who dropped dead within 8 hours of the Covid vaccine. I asked for the news stories and received this DM.

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

Do you think kids should have books of their own to keep and read? I'm looking for 25 sponsors of $15 and each of my 2nd graders will get AT LEAST 10 books throughout the year to take home and keep!

@TimSweeneyEpic They don't want to play nice with the people tying them up in court for the next five years? Imagine that!!!

[Gary LaPointe @GaryLaPointe]

@TimSweeneyEpic Just to frame this properly: Didn't you agree to their legal terms and then you intentionally violated them? Also, didn't they make this offer a year ago? Have they been making the offer over and over for the past year OR have they been saying they made the offer?
