Tangential, I still find it absurd people accept calling it X instead of Twitter. While I'd generally agree that most companies can change their name, encroaching on a basic letter should be off limits, like naming your company "The" or "God".

Still sticking with Twitter until a reasonable name is found, which by Musk is never.

Microsoft is notorious for naming stuff in a way that makes it impossible to search for information. It is quite annoying.

For this reason it's essentially impossible to search for solutions to the many bugs in Windows' Multiple Desktops
