A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So, if there's no more bird, then we shouldn't call them "tweets." What should they be called now? X-cretions?

He actually said they are now called X's.

No idea how to pronounce this then. It's such a stupid name change. Elon is destroying Twitter.. sorry X very well. Xorg was first tho.

Are you sure you don't want to X about something on X?

Why did Twitter change its name to 'X'? Because it marks the spot where all the birdie treasure is hidden! 🏴‍☠️
