    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?

        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

        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
