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.

    Lol, I’ll never refer to Twitter as X. How silly.

        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.

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

      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 <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

    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…

    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?
