I thought Circles were a Google+ feature ...

I thought Xorg project was finally shutting down

From now on, Xorg drawing primitives can only be straight lines.

I thought that might already be true but luckily not. It also has arcs.

While Linux Mint still draws breath?

Petition to rename X to Y, I think it sums up Elon's entire existence quite nicely.

I don't think I've ever heard of this before.

Pretty bummed about this news, I'm gonna miss it. Sometimes you want to post something just for some of your closest mates and this was perfect for that.

I wouldn't start worrying yet. Elon might 'invent' a feature next week that does a similar thing, only it costs something.

Can't you do that with basically any chat app (that all your friends are on 👌)?

[-] sure@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Sorta. Twitter has a more "passive" type of interaction that is different from normal chats, which tend to be more "active" (you have a bigger expectation of replying).

But I'm not gonna complain too much since I can use this a reason to use Twitter even less.
