X (formerly Twitter) has finally decided to pull the plug on the old Twitter app for Mac, which wasn't updated for years. Instead of replacing it with a modern app, the company is forcing users to use the X iPad app instead, which itself is suffering from account suspension issues.
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
Can’t tell if sarcasm or not. Here you go anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System

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.
I used to when I had a 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.
