@commodoreofcl I’ll never forget.

To this day when I play it, it still hits me the same.

@gregnacu It’s one of those rare C64 games where dying somehow didn’t make me mad as a kid…

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@sjvn Definitely need a boot disk for all config possibilities. 😆

@xai B sounded like it was recorded on a mic. I called it.

Amazing work, xAI.

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@xai I’m going for A. B sounds like a voice mic recording. The fact that it’s this close is actually incredible.

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@MinamtheD @Doomer_Armus Make sure to loop it for some sweet, sweet double tragedy. 😆

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@Doomer_Armus Armus!!! Stop!! She’s already dead! 😭

The earliest DOS source code was found on printer paper in Tim Paterson's garage so we've open sourced it on 86-DOS 1.00’s 45th anniversary! This is next-level software archaeology for study, preservation, and plain ol’ curiosity. Go dig in and learn how it was recovered! #DOS #RetroComputing

@RosaryQuotes123 Handmade!

@retrofreshc So that’s how all those capacitors went bad!

Let me explain exactly why Apple still uses drag-to-install in 2026, because the joke here accidentally proves Apple right.

A macOS .app is a single self-contained folder disguised as a file. Every dependency, every framework, every resource lives inside it. Drag it to Applications, it works. Drag it to Trash, it's gone. No registry entries. No leftover DLLs. No uninstaller that misses half the files.

Windows installers scatter fragments across Program Files, AppData, the registry, system32, and a dozen temp directories. Uninstalling a Windows app is an archaeological dig. Five years later you're still finding config files from software you forgot you owned.

Linux is worse. Dependency hell is so common they named it. Entire package managers exist to solve the problem of "I installed something and now nothing else works." Flatpak and Snap were invented specifically to copy what macOS bundles already did natively.

The macOS bundle architecture came from NeXTSTEP in 1989. Steve Jobs brought it to OS X in 2001. The core design hasn't changed because the core design was correct. An app is a folder. Installation is a copy. Removal is a delete. Three operations that map perfectly to how humans already think about files.

The drag-to-install window with the arrow isn't lazy UX. It's the entire thesis of the system made visible. You are literally just moving a folder. There is no "installation" step because there's nothing to install. The app is already complete.

Every other OS eventually tried to get here. Windows got MSIX. Linux got Flatpak. Mobile figured it out from day one because phones shipped after Apple proved the model. The pattern everyone else converged toward is the pattern this tweet is calling outdated.

The funniest part: the app being dragged in that screenshot is Claude. An AI that can write code, analyze documents, and reason about complex systems. And the most advanced step in getting it onto your machine is holding down a mouse button and moving your wrist two inches to the right.

That's not a design failure. That's a 37-year-old architecture so good that the most sophisticated software on earth still ships inside it.

@gregnacu @alphafox Agreed. How often does clickbait like this really work?

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@Doomer_Armus Wait…she’s all by herself on this ship?

Who’s she talking to? What’s her rank?

What starclass ship is this?

So many questions…

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@exQUIZitely One of those you love to hate…

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@1GamewithDave1 Why did Nintendo stop packing in a new Mario with every new console release?

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@Doomer_Armus This was from her OnlyGoos account…

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@CriticalAnger 😂

[JS Ohlander @jsohlander]

@Doomer_Armus I think she’s your type but you should probably take her on a date first.

I wouldn’t mention the whole “killing human Starfleet females” thing to her, but maybe she’s into it…?
