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.
It’s not just the data, it’s also about getting a cut of any monetary interactions, essentially the Visa/MasterCard model. The company holding the “everything” app for a given region has an incredible potential to earn money.
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.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Reminds me of the old OS X Leopard welcome animation.

Wanting to be the master of data when Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Meta exist is cute :)

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

“The everything app”… that can’t even do basic social media correctly. Can it just die already?
