As much as I despise Trump, I don’t disagree. I’m sure he’s saying that for stupid reasons, but most people are way more tech illiterate than they should be. I know bc I used to be tech support
Most people don’t know “what” anything is in that case. Cars? Most people don’t know what a clutch master cylinder is - they just know how to use the car. Most people don’t know what an app is, since they don’t understand the code language it was built in. Sure, they know how to use it but without knowing Java, it may as well be magic. Vaccines! No one knows what they are! There’s no simple explanation so everyone who’s ever used a vaccine has no idea what they are!
The average person does not have specialized knowledge about anything, even things ubiquitous to modern life.
Yeah, Trump is technically right here but at the end of the day, I don’t really care if a firefighter knows exactly how every app on their phone works, just as long as they know how to put out fires and maybe rescue cats from trees.
If you were working tech support of course you’re going to interact with more “tech illiterate” people. That doesn’t mean the “most people” are tech illiterate, you were just dealing with a high volume of them, giving that impression.
Most people don’t know what a phone app actually is.
That is 100% true
Most people don’t know how a freaking toaster AKKSCHULLY works. Who cares? It’s of no consequence
Exactly. Is it just a webpage served up with some native UI buttons to make it look more glossy? Are app permissions implemented as separate system users under POSIX? How many apps are written in languages/frameworks running from interpreters, and how many actually touch bare metal? Are app media that use Gallery permissions duplicating data or linking to it?
No one knows what an app is, the app development frameworks I learned 10 years ago are no longer relevant and have likely shifted to a whole new paradigm. If it looks perplexing to me, I can imagine it looks like magic to non-techies.
The PWA frameworks are pretty cool. Essentially just system level API hooks which then integrate into a existing React - NextJs - whatever projects. Granted it isn’t touching bare metal like you said but it is a nice level of a abstraction and beats dealing with android studio 🤢
Edit: I hear Expo is neat but I haven’t used it yet.
Web pages are remote apps that you interface with locally (exceptions)
I know what they are! They’re useless things McDonalds tries to goad you into installing with promises of a free $3 burger so they can sell all your data to everyone who wants it because apps have a higher level of access to it than m.mcdonalds.zip or whatever their shitty website is.
And some of the ones on F-Droid are actually useful.
Okay grandpa, let’s get you to
bedprison.Most people probably dont know what an android app bundle is
Im not sure how that would matter in any context
Yeah. What 45 said is technically a true statement… If it was said by a geek or a programmer. With him it’s always surface level.
No. I’m context he was saying immigrants must be smart for using apps to cross the border because almost no one knows what an app is.
Watch the video. He belongs in a home.
He belongs in a home.
He would if he wasn’t a felon. He belongs in jail.
Cell Sweet Cell
I mean I’m all for beliving that humans are smart by default, but that is incorrect.
The context always makes him look worse. This guy has advanced dementia and it is getting worse by the day.
I feel like a vote for trump is really a vote for Vance. Idk which is worse.
The public hates Vance even more than Trump so when they talk about voting for Trump people should remind them that Trump may die in office and then Vance would be their president.
Somehow, the scrutiny applied to Palin due to McCain’s advanced age hasn’t applied to Vance despite Trump being nearly a decade older than McCain was when he ran.
But how does it even make sense? I would have said I was 99% confident he used two apps all the time over the years. First, ex-Twitter, and now his own social-network-which-shall-not-be-named.
wat
I know a few older people who have smartphones, and while they can use things like Twitter or Facebook on the phone, if you told them that you were installing an app, they wouldn’t know what you meant.
They’re the type of people who were never interested in computers, and used them as appliances, possibly never needing to install things themselves. As they moved to phones, they either get their kids or the shop to set them up.
They understand using Twitter on the phone, but don’t really understand the concept of how it works.
That sounds like most people around me, regardless of age.
When Trump says “most people” he’s talking about himself.
He literally never isn’t talking about himself.
Omfg I truly understand the definition of narcissism now. Ty not/s
This happens when the opposite side turns on the propaganda machine on that specific subject (which when Biden was a possibility wouldn’t make sense).
He’s old and has been for a while, and I’m all for kamala. Just interesting how that flaw was “overlooked” when it was convenient.
If he shuffles off this mortal coil he’d leave Vance in charge. I don’t know why more hadn’t been made of this fact.
Maybe the couchnutter is an attempt to stop further assassination attempts? Prop up a VP that’s even more deranged and unlikable, so people reconsider if it’s worth it to off you?
Everyone who understands that Vance is an inexplicably married incel will already be voting against Donald.
I didn’t see what he said, I should hunt myself but can someone re-recommend a way I can see said footage without going on Twitter. If not, I’ll pass on giving their advertisement companies views
in here somewhere. godspeed.

edit: I have no life.
Lol that is probably the funniest way to give a source I’ve seen
So immigrants are smarter than most Americans who are so stupid they don’t know what a phone app is? If that’s the case, let these people in! Maybe the collective IQ will go up and Americans can be taught how smart phones work and how to email forward your grandkids.
Maybe we are asking too much with an “email forward” at this point. These out of touch politicians are “reply all” kind of useless.
Thank you kind soul. May the road always rise up to meet you
Also as a note in general:
As far as I can tell kamalahq account posts the same twitter posts to their threads account. So you can avoid going to twitter by just looking for the exact same post on threads
So go from one shitty company to another?
Here’s a mastodon clone: https://bird.makeup/users/kamalahq
Independent of the campaign there’s also a bluesky mirror someone set up but it doesn’t have video mirrored. I know bluesky has only just recently started rolling out video support, however
Thank you!
This is a perfect candidate for the gunius/idiot bell curve meme
Ask any person above the age of, say, 40 (I’m not looking this up, but in Western countries that should suffice to qualify for ‘most’ pople) what an app is, exactly. I wonder what the response will be.
40 is ridiculous. I’m 49. Our generation essentially invented the internet, cell phones, etc. you may have been born to the darkness but we created it.
a 40 year old is a kid in 2000. their formative years were spent on the Internet.
Idk, but I think you’d have to go a lot higher have that. Like, your parents know what an app is. Maybe your grandparents don’t, but mine do. So I think it would basically have to be like people over 70 or something
So you’re saying, when Trump says “most people” he means "me " but has to make it sound like he’s not alone in any thinking ?
100% of the time he means himself but not for that reason.
he does this because he hasn’t developed theory of mind. because he doesn’t care about other people enough to do that.
Yes exactly. When he says “people,” e.g. “people are saying, everyone says, etc” or “you” or whatever, he means him. Additionally most accusations are admissions. People are eating cats? He’s probably eating cats. People are committing sex crimes? He’s committing sex crimes. People don’t know what an app is? He doesn’t know what an app is, etc.
Lolol above 40? Look up when the first iPhone came out.
I think your comment says more about how young you are than how out of touch “old” people are.
