#FF00AA


10 apr. 2024

I keep waiting for Musk to mandate a service-wide switch to xꓸcom that would inevitably break everything. (Changing the domain name would be a hard problem even if he hadn't fired 90% of the engineering team.) Alas, it looks like they're well aware it's impossible, and I'll only have the satisfaction of seeing them implement hilariously broken workarounds.

X automatically changed ‘Twitter’ to ‘X’ in users’ posts, breaking legit URLs

A scammer’s dream and a disaster waiting to happen.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
