y'know, I've been thinking. I dont even know if this is possible, but ever since he changed the branding from Twitter to X, all that's in the back of my kind is that in a few years, this site is going to discontinue itself because of something that happened behind the scenes.
I hope that this happens someday. While I don't believe in what the news has to say, this might aswell be taken into account for how many things Musk has done to ruin the app. Making Tweetdeck as a premium thing was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Musky boi impulse bought a free app because his wife left him for a woman, now he’s making everyone pay for his mistake instead of going to therapy. This has been the fate of Twitter since 2022
The post refers to a recent interview with the PM of Israel, where Elon stated they will introduce "lower tier pricing" for premium. There is no mention of charging everyone to use X.
Looks like I got hit with more misinformation from the same person who said that Musk will be changing the blocking feature and to this day, nothing has changed.
Still not using the platform much cause they removed TweetDeck for public users.
And nothing of value was lost.
It's been long past time to move on to another Twitter competitor. If you're paying for Twitter already, you've lost. If you're gonna pay to access Twitter at all, you're insane.

These multi billion dollar companies keep trying to pinch every penny they can.
To be fair, this time it's just Musk trying to make back the 44B he spent in an extremely stupid decision he made instead of going to therapy.
"Free", "free", everyone expects everything to be "free"; there's no such thing as "free", someone has to pay for it 
It's called "social media" not "socialist media" you bunch of commies

Clearly he was talking about charging everyone to use X

If he goes ahead with it then there will be two tiers of pricing, x premium and everyone else.
How could it achieve the stated aim of getting rid of bots, unless they charge everyone?
You know, back in days of yore, the public would stage an uprising of such characters and burn them on a stake in the center of the town or city.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

@rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.+1
