Why are people still using a site bought and run by a guy supporting the rise of Christian fascism solely for the purposes of getting tax breaks on his ill-gotten billions?
I actually interpreted this as X as in X11 window system and was very confused for a bit
Same...
I use an iPad, but not X or Twitter…go figure.
Please call it Twitter in the title unless there's a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.
Haha you got click baited.
Let me find you a link that is not related to Rick Astleigh
it's better to call it X this way, we need to accept twitter is never coming back, and it's high time users still on it to migrate.
"The platform formerly known as Twitter"?
It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't the fact that he's trying to lay claim to 1/26th of the English alphabet
I won't give the dbag the satisfaction of calling it anything but twitter.
I can do that but I'm guilty of occasionally calling it twatter
How would that make any sense in that context?
The full title on close parsing doesn't make sense in xorg context. But "X kills its app" initially had my brain trying to figure out what people were running X on mac.
Haven’t done it in ages but I used to run xquartz on a macbook and do x window forwarding from my desktop. It worked surprisingly well, even on remote sessions via an ssh tunnel.
I don’t have much reason to do it nowadays because laptops are so much more powerful and storage is so cheap that the stuff I was doing can all be done locally.
I used to when I had a Mac.
It doesn't but X in some people's mind is not the fascist hellhole but is Xorg, and will forever stay that way.
Sorry but what the hell is xorg? Is that another place like 4chan or something
I hadn’t logged into my Twitter account in over a year. When I finally did recently, I simply shared a link to my Mastodon account. A few days later, I went to check a Twitter link, only to find my account had been banned....
Greatest recipe ever to close my account.
My account was banned for some reason, no idea really. Wrote to support to unban me so I could delete it, they did and I delete the account.
But they can't ban bots from spamming shit
