    Please call it Twitter in the title unless there’s a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.

        The full title on close parsing doesn’t make sense in xorg context. But “X kills its <unix os> 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.

      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
