@mastermind White X on a black background. It couldn't have less character and personality. The branding wasn't the issue with Twitter. Let's recap: Twitter is struggling, Elon buys Twitter, makes it a worse platform for users, introduces authentication by payment, restricts the access to the platform, and then changes the only good thing about Twitter, the branding.
@samokosik Right, but this is dumber. Because Facebook service itself is still Facebook, it's just the company renamed itself to Meta, because its not offering Facebook only anymore. Twitter on the other hand is the service that got renamed. Which has no reason to, it's just making it less memorable and take away the last bit cuteness from the platform.
@canpolat The article is written from the perspective of a Windows user. I'm not surprised. Software as a whole does not get worse; there are some software which get worse, and some technology getting in the way. And then there is software which get better, not worse too. If you cherry pick, then you can prove any point you want to proven right; especially on a very wide range of topics like software.
@canpolat My point was not being limited to Windows, but more that his view is limited to DOS/Windows world, but making general judgements about software. And because Windows and it's eco system of applications he listed gets worse, he extrapolates this to all software.
Let's look at Linux, which is probably the biggest software ever and used on every possible way one can imagine. It got better and better, even though it's extremely big and has a lot of complexity to it and does not want to break compatibility if possible. But I am not saying all software is like that. That's my point. Some software get better, some get worse.
