Miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation. (lemmy.world)

I miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation.

~~Twitter~~ X is Elon Musk’s world. Pretty soon he’ll have so much control over his platform that he can practically cron kings and manipulate outcomes to fit his personal political agenda. And don’t even get me started on his whole stupid “X the everything app bullshit.

The only everything app that has succeeded so far is WeChat in China. But it’s apparently a surveillance app for the masses by the government. Seriously, why the hell would I want to link my social media account with my bank account and even my government ID? What’s the benefit in that?

I’d rather keep the digital me disconnected to the real me.

No matter what Musk does, he continues to bleed users and advertisers.

It may not be going as fast as we like but the ship continues to take on water.

The name is embarrassing and shows the intellect of someone we thought were intelligent but is just another self absorbed little boy craving for attention.

Musk is the definition of a man child.

[–] s1vgm@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

He is such a fuckin loser.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 2 years ago

fire everyone + break everything = the everything app

[–] torafugu@artemis.camp 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope he gets sued by the organization that made that font. I don't think he was allowed to use it.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

"The everything app"... that can't even do basic social media correctly. Can it just die already?

[–] coco@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

The everything appo ? Even whore aervice ?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Reminds me of the old OS X Leopard welcome animation.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

That was so goddamn cool at the time. The whole install experience.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/G9oIlXuaa3s?si=2wosEwp-_iZS3I7V

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

[–] s1vgm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Interesting, it was released in 2011.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Oh cool. An animated logo... wow how tech-like...

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Can you really do everything with this app, or is it basically like Twitter?

[–] s1vgm@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't want to do everything with this app or any app. An everything app means monopoly and manipulation.

[–] OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

It also means an eventual failure

Reminds me on the 2000 https://www.zombo.com/ joke

[–] ReadyUser31@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's gonna be like yahoo.com circa 2012. Stocks, banks, messaging, email, news etc.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago

As ever, "we're going to do everything" neatly translates in to "we're going to do everything poorly".

[–] n3cr0@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would wipe my butt with the everything-app, but I doubt It will ever offer this service.

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

It will come with 3 seashells.

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

You need to use your phone with the app open for that service.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The everything app, eh?

So you can manage your Tesla vehicle and Powerwall home battery and Tesla Solar Roof from it, surely?

[–] Mane25@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hate to be stupid but where's the animation?

[–] s1vgm@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I took a screenshot from the animation. If you want to see the complete version of this stupid animation: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1694256985233846492?s=20

[–] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Looks like shit

[–] Mane25@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OK, I would say "thanks" normally but that doesn't seem to quite fit. :P

[–] s1vgm@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Lmao

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

I still read X, Twitter, whatever it is, but actually use Mastodon. The comments are the equivalent of football to the groin from the Simpsons to me. No doubt in my mind people are stupid enough to put all this information in, blame Joe Biden communism with a link to donate to help them keep up the fight.

This is the most Simpsons ass shit I've ever seen in real life.
