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

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year 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 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Oh, just normal serving size...

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year 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.

Wayland is developed by X.org

Did you mean "X", formerly Twitter?

[–] beefcat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe they meant "Xitter".

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] beefcat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

"Shitter".

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

"Zitter" like a big ol zit

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

[–] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

What's support to go in place of X?
