A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's funny because part of the reason Musk wanted to turn Twitter to X was because he's been squatting on the domain since the late 90s
Nah, he bought it from Paypal in 2017.
He founded X.com which became PayPal. No one buys a domain back 2 decades later for no reason, unless you're a manchild who's been having wet dreams about it and can't let that stupid name go
x.com merged with Paypal. He tried to hamstring Paypal, was removed, then x.com died as people preferred the Paypal brand.
I wonder if he knows about the game Xcom
That sectoid's shit eating grin
