Set a filter for capital ' X ' (with a space on either side) as well as ' X.' (left space + period)
Eh, it's not that simple... There's a windowing system on Linux, and an old punk band from LA, and a whole generation...
Running away from the X windowing system might not be that bad though ๐
But for some stupid reason, most Linux users have nvidia, which doesn't play well with Wayland (or X, for that matter...)
Unix Blasphemy!!
I do love X though (not the Twitter rebrand - Motif for life!!). A simple X program is/was so portable, but I guess not many people care anymore.
Not to mention the phrase, X marks the spot.
It's not a perfect solution, no, but it's a solution.
Personally, none of those would hold me back, but to each their own.
Also, how am I going to look for MDMA pills in the late 90s US?
Just keep calling it Twitter and campaign for other people to do the same.
I still deadname it and call it Twitter. I refuse to call it X.
