X Kills Its Mac App, Accidentally Bans You for Switching to the iPad Version
X Kills Its Mac App, Accidentally Bans You for Switching to the iPad Version
X (formerly Twitter) has finally decided to pull the plug on the old Twitter app for Mac, which wasn't updated for years. Instead of replacing it with a modern app, the company is forcing users to use the X iPad app instead, which itself is suffering from account suspension issues.
You're viewing a single thread.
Lol, I'll never refer to Twitter as X. How silly.
I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead
But that's what Elon wants, and fuck that guy.
Twitter or Xitter for me. Maaaaybe X (formerly known as Twitter), but never X alone.
Especially because it's a fucking confusing name in a tech space. I swear I thought the headline referred to X Window at first.
Well, in my experience, calling it Twitter or any variation helps people stay in negation about the fact that Twitter is dead, and calling it x makes people more likely to open their eyes and delete their account, and losing users is what really hurts musk. I already helped all the people from my close friends circle to move out from that shit.
I guess both actions have ups and downs.
To me, calling it Twitter reminds me of the shitty shit Twitter has ever been. I never liked the thing. I vividly remember when BBC started quoting random tweets - it made me a little sick. Then all news outlets followed suit.
And if Elon hates it that people call it Twitter, then even better!
Haha, fair
Xitter
Pronounced “shitter.”
I've been plotting to exclusively talk of x as if it was some brand new microblogging site where you pay for the entire thing and it's userbase and administration is kinda unhinged.
you do know that you are technically dead-naming, right?
Aw, do you think Twitter is a person? How cute. No, dead naming only applies to people obviously.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his estranged transgender daughter was "killed" by the "woke mind virus" after he was tricked into agreeing to gender-affirming care procedures.
"I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead." https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/2024/07/22/elon-musk-jordan-peterson-interview/74506785007/
Aww.
This is why the right makes fun of the left.
Though I just hope you were joking.
The right makes fun of the left because the right has no valid platform.
I'm not talking about elections.
I'm not either.
Oh.
Yea corporations have feelings and are sentient creatures too! These fucking people above you don't understand how insensitive it is to not correctly call a company by its proper identity. If Twitter wants to identify as X it can do so.
Just as Windows can Identify as Windows 11 but it's really just NT underneath. Or kinda how Prince purposely changed his name to fuck over record labels. He identified as someone else but was really the same character and song writer. Kinda like how GMC is Chevy is Cadillac is Pontiac is geo and Buick. Or radio shack renaming themselves "the shack". Or how Nissan was Datsun. Or Pizza Hut with their "the hut" Name change, still sold the same pizza.
I started this as me attempting to be contrarian towards you...but I kinda came full circle on this one for myself lmao. Swing so hard left I came back around to the right. (My point, not my entire political opinions)
