What’s X?

[wizzwizz4 → dullcrisp]

The X Window System allows applications to present bitmap images on a display, and receive mouse and keyboard input. The main implementation is X.Org, shepherded by the X.Org Foundation: https://x.org/. Originally for Unix-like systems, it is now available on many other architectures, such as Microsoft Windows: I find ssh's X forwarding feature especially useful there.

It's a slang term for MDMA. Clearly the poster means that you don't have to interact with anyone when you're on ecstasy.

A variable you could substitute with anything.

[qup → tempodox]

I'd like to substitute it for x

which holds a value "X"

It's what Musk is trying to rebrand Twitter as.

[throwaway-243 → dullcrisp]

it's that thing you used to call twitter.

x.com

[notThrowingAway → throwaway-243]

This is what GP was referring to when they said "chaos monkeys"

[agubelu → throwaway-243]

If I go to x.com it redirects me to a site called twitter.com in which there are things called "tweets" and "retweets"
