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
Okay grandpa, let's get you to ~~bed~~ prison.
Most people don't know what a phone app actually is.
That is 100% true
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.

Usually, they're what should have just been a website.
Lmao, this is the normal curve meme, with Trump on the left, a lib on the center an a developer on the right.

Most people don't know how a freaking toaster AKKSCHULLY works. Who cares? It's of no consequence
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.

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.

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.
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.

Thank you kind soul. May the road always rise up to meet you
Lol that is probably the funniest way to give a source I've seen
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?
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 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 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.
This is a perfect candidate for the gunius/idiot bell curve meme
I just can't imagine Trump using any technology whatsoever. I'm impressed he manages to send tweets off.
I imagine he hunts and pecks with one hand while holding it in the other while squinting to read the letters (also nice name fello frog)

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.
