This makes me feel old. While we are at it, let's have a being-grumpy-old-men-about-technology-and-social-media general.

First day after dropping twitter. Don't miss it.
Great thread man.
Habbo was 10 years ago.
>BROOKE: If you want to take a screenshot without your friend knowing, turn on airplane mode, take the screenshot, log out of the app immediately, turn off airplane mode, and then load the app back up.

Enjoy your botnet cucks

>not just running xposed and snappreffs to save all snaps and videos
Brooke's a fucking a pleb
>>52906614
This just confirms my opinion that millennials are fucking stupid
>>52907067
>mah diskspace
But for the rest, this.
>>52907067
>Not reverse-engineering the protocol yourself
>>52907071
But anon brooke and here friends are digital natives, spending all day on snapchat means they are masters of technology and programming.
>>52907071
The 29 year old author is also considered a millenial, and the extent of this shot is equally as bewildering to him.
>>52907128
mememaster =/= tech master
>>52906614
I fucking despise snapchat
How did I get to be such an old codger baka thb
we should share our snapchats and post tech related bullshit to see who is the biggest mememaster
I don't understand.
The girl straight up admits she doesn't look at the snaps she gets. She responds without looking. So too, presumably, do her friends.
That's not communication. What the fuck is it? I FEEL LIKE A FUCKING ALIEN WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF ANY OF THIS
>>52907067
I used to have a mod in iOS that added a button to the snapchat UI when viewing a photo to save it without notification
>>52907397
It's not really messaging as much as a direct status update with photo, at least that's how a lot of people seem to use it
I really can't see the point of Snapchat at all, absolutely none.
>>52907572
memes.
Snapchat is just a faster way for girls to send nudes and think guys will not save them.. If only there was a way to see all snaps sent by the user
>>52907665
no, shut up, learn some more words
>>52907572
technically, meme could describe whats happening, but kids these days are certifiably dumber than the last generation, & have an INSANELY strong follower complex.
'all the other kids are doing it' is essentially how they make decisions. i know i had some of that growing up, most people probably did, but damn its huge with these kids
Over the years, I learned to really emphasize with that old man on the corner, sitting on his bench with his thousand yard stare and grim face.
When he's gone I will inherit his place.
>>52907071
>implying you old fucks haven't been suckered into social media as well like it's the second America Online
They'll get you one day.
>>52906631
about to drop it after 2 posts and 100 "promoted tweets"
>>52907284
why do people always forget about Gen Y, the next shittiest thing after Gen X?
>>52907397
it's a bunch of networked nodes pinging each other at random intervals to estimate uptime percentages
>>52906614
Good god that is cringe worthy. The most social I get is Yik Yak where you can say stupid shit to people nearby pseudo anonymously.
>>52907943
This. Yik Yak = normie 4chan. They let you put images in the thread OP's and everything. And no "tripcodes" or even names, though for each "thread" you have a set identity. Although I don't think as many people use it as when it first came out.
>>52907799
They are always connected. They never are able to have any isolation at all to be truly self reliant. It's hard to grow and change when everyone is always connected to everyone. They never have to think for themselves because they have a digital leash around their necks at all times. Pic related, typical millennial.
>>52907799
>'all the other kids are doing it' is essentially how they make decisions
to be fair that's pretty much every teenager ever, it's just we're all more "connected" so we see more precisely what other people are doing
>>52908045
cute pic dude
>>52908092
>thinking helicopter parenting is cute
We're raising generations of pussy faggot crybabies.
>>52908131
i was talking about the backpack
also i was gonna say i'd cut the leash off and give that backpack to my wife's son but i decided not to start that whole thing
>>52906614
>Right off the bat, I could see that my journey as Bitchamin was going to be a difficult one. Brooke and Elsbitch were very advanced doodlers.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA
I COULD DRAW BETTER SHIT ON MY CLASSWORK IN 2ND GRADE
>>52907347
Seconding this. Snapscore is like the new dick length, right?
>>52906743
>>52907067
fucking noobs, your just record your screen then take a screenshot of the video. no nosy apps needed
I am here with my whisky and have no idea what Snapchat is. I do not care. I use Diaspora*, but mostly just use it to get updates and help.
>>52907867
Only Facebook because it reflects real-life social connections.
>>52908204
I wish I could increase my dick length through fucking streaks.
>>52907397
She's like free-to-play "whales", only with time instead of money. She likes to see her numbers go up.
>>52906743
Oh wow, so the app recognizes the printscreen and sends a notification of it?
I know what's next, eventually apps like facebook chat will recognize when you looked at the notifications to not have your message showing up as read, and warns about it.
Eventually apps will record several seconds of your reaction upon receiving a message by using the mic and camera only to send that file to the other user straight afterwards.
The botnet just keeps getting better and better.
>wanting to know how teenagers use technology so you can feel that you fit in instead of wanting to know just enough to profit from it
do you guys ever learn?
>>52907863
capped for future use
>>52908701
>it reflects real-life social connections.
Like hell it does.
>>52908631
Diaspora is shit because it's Ruby. GNU Social is a bit nicer.
>>52908724
It's just a numbers game, anon. Snapshit as much as you can to as many people as you can. Find some people who also want to boost scores and literally snap each other constantly.
>>52908768
For old people it does. They mostly friend their friends, relatives, schoolmates, etc.

>>52908045
that's not a millennial that's gen z you retard
>>52906614
But Snapchat is retarded.
>>52908045
It's like the Borg, but without the cool augmentations.
Pic related - teens browsing social media circa 2200

>ableist language
What are you doing on 4chan, gramps?
>>52908942
Well he shitposts, just like you and me
>>52908158
Considering the tools, those are actually pretty good. Not anything noteworthy, but above average, I'd say.
>>52908812
So you can get away with anything related to spying just by giving a stupid reason?
>M$ does not spy, it collects data only to enhance features and fix problems.
>Facebook does not spy they are making a study.
>Having pizza is fine, it's just research for when you have a daughter.
>>52907284
Apparently anyone born in 1980 onwards is technically a "millennial", but I wouldn't class a 36 year old in the same way or generation as a 13 year old.
>>52907290
mfw im both
>>52907397
The purpose is similar to basically any other social media: SHOWING OFF
> Hey look at me riding a horse. YOU CAN'T.
> Hey look at me drinking and being an adult
> Hey look at me skipping class
> Hey look at me ...
>>52908896
>can't into metaphors
Millennial detected
I'm 29 too and this article upsets me. I don't know why.
Maybe because I had no friends or social life as a child and people like Brooke would call me awkward, making me feel miserable and waste my teens feeling insecure. Or maybe because-no, yeah, that's it. Fuck Brooke and her ilk
so this is ho a pedophile looks like
>>52906958

> Using 4chan
Enjoy your bonet cuck
I'm 45 and know more about technology than all you kids.
And yes, I'm grumpy.
>>52908736
Facebook does let people know if you have need the notification of a message.
The little blue tick means that he has seen my message, but hasn't opened it. If the blue circle was white, it means he hasn't seen the notification on his device.
>>52906614
Is it bad that I'm 24 and am already just as bitter toward what kids are doing now days as some of the 60+ year olds that I went to church with when I was 13 were about kids back then?
>>52908282
Tried once and it detected it.
>>52907067
>tfw no root exploit for your model

His feminist mother was in college studying womyns studies during her peak reproductive years and waited until her ovaries became rotten and spoiled in her 30s to have him.
I hate the recent "selfies social media" . I don't want to fucking show a picture of me every 5 seconds, I just want to chat with people about stuff and share images.
Those anonymous social media like yak that only allow to upload photos would become somewhat passable if you could also upload pictures but nah, that's not how the NSA wants you to interact.
>tfw no fat hairy anon to snapchat witj
clueless grandpa here does anyone know what the hell the ghost notification means.

I'd be down for adding some /g/oons. I'm not posting my user tho.

Fuck off
>>52907071
she's 13 year old, she was born after the millennium, she's not a millennial, idk what people call that generation but the usual definition of millennials is 1980-2000
>>52912513
>>52912730
same, but I'm more of an email guy
plus I want a cuddly bear friend like the webm
>>52906614
So from what this article is saying people use this app to send pictures that no one will ever see just so they can receive a picture they won't look at to send another that won't be seen. WTF That's like a blind person watching a movie so they can paint a picture from it later.
>>52912513
Fat hairy anon here

> Data scientists can determine that a status or comment has been typed by tracking code in the HTML form element of each page.
>This form element is made up of HTML code that controls the boxes Facebook users type in to, including the status update box.
>Each time characters are entered into one of these boxes, scientists can track the changes in the HTML code. The researchers were also able to track typing in the comment box on statuses, photos and other posts.
>implying the same thing isn't being done in this reply box
>>52912852
You consider 36 year olds millennials?
>>52911496
What model do you have, anon?
>>52909793
Not onwards, only until the year 2000. At this point a 13 year old does not qualify as a millennial anymore. Perhaps post-millennial?
