How about we respond by dropping X from headlines and articles?

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think "dropping X" might have been a factor in this decision.

Oh, don't do that, I've still got half a bag of popcorn left.

[–] yiliu@informis.land 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jesus, how big was that bag to start with?!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Oh, just normal serving size...

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

I'm sure there are movie communities in the fediverse who can recommend great movies to go with the popcorn!

It's just wrong kind of X. We need to talk about X.org.

[–] lateraltwo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Weyland disagrees

[–] uis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Wayland is developed by X.org

Did you mean "X", formerly Twitter?

[–] beefcat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I believe they meant "Xitter".

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've wondered, would that be pronounced similar to "Shitter" or "Exiter"?

[–] beefcat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

"Shitter".

Tweets are now "xits". As a verb: "xit", past-tense: "xat".

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

"Zitter" like a big ol zit

[–] mxcory@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Isn't that the platform that is just Cartman and Alec Baldwin?

[–] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe X.org

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

What's support to go in place of X?
