I miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation.
Twitter X is Elon Musk’s world. Pretty soon he’ll have so much control over his platform that he can practically cron kings and manipulate outcomes to fit his personal political agenda. And don’t even get me started on his whole stupid “X the everything app bullshit.
The only everything app that has succeeded so far is WeChat in China. But it’s apparently a surveillance app for the masses by the government. Seriously, why the hell would I want to link my social media account with my bank account and even my government ID? What’s the benefit in that?
I’d rather keep the digital me disconnected to the real me.
The name is embarrassing and shows the intellect of someone we thought were intelligent but is just another self absorbed little boy craving for attention.
Musk is the definition of a man child.
He is such a fuckin loser.
No matter what Musk does, he continues to bleed users and advertisers.
It may not be going as fast as we like but the ship continues to take on water.
I hope he gets sued by the organization that made that font. I don’t think he was allowed to use it.
fire everyone + break everything = the everything app
“The everything app”… that can’t even do basic social media correctly. Can it just die already?
The everything appo ? Even whore aervice ?
Reminds me of the old OS X Leopard welcome animation.
That was so goddamn cool at the time. The whole install experience.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/G9oIlXuaa3s?si=2wosEwp-_iZS3I7V
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Interesting, it was released in 2011.
Oh cool. An animated logo… wow how tech-like…
But it is not the everything app?
I think a lot of people hear “everything app” and it sounds kind of magical but this is actually a specific category of app already, and it mostly means Payments App+ Restaurant and Convenience Delivery App + Rideshare App.
An example is Careem, which serves the Dubai market only.
You’re totally correct that X is not one of these Apps. Even by this more constrained definition.
Uber is already 2/3 of the way to this in a dominant way with Uber and Uber Eats in one app. Both of those work very well and have already for years. Adding personal payments would probably mean lights out for anyone else with foolish “everything app” ambitions.
Musk is 0/3 of the way there. The ONLY thing he has has to work with is an installed base of users. A large number of people have this app on their phone and have an account. That is something. But he still has to create, well, everything to have an “everything” app, which, as I’ve already covered above, won’t do everything.
The installed base of logged in users is also less valuable than you might imagine because to do payments and delivery is also going to require everyone to enter bank info and home address and those are big asks just in terms of user effort but also privacy.
So good fucking luck, Elon. Being a media company driven by ads sucks and I don’t blame him for wanting out but he’s chosen the most expensive possible path to becoming Careem that I could imagine. I’m just a tech middle manager but I could have given him better corp strategy advice than this.
yet?
Maybe, but it is not even the app it was so the trend is going in the wrong direction to be everything.
Sure. My VR theme park is not the biggest in the Metaverse yet either. Maybe one day.
Can you really do everything with this app, or is it basically like Twitter?
I don’t want to do everything with this app or any app. An everything app means monopoly and manipulation.
It also means an eventual failure
Reminds me on the 2000 https://www.zombo.com/ joke
At the moment it’s just reskinned twitter, eventually he wants to turn it into Facebook with chat, calls, payments and such I guess.
Not even reskinned, just with a stupid new logo
Yeah if this is his plan it’s clear he hasn’t thought for a second about why 99% of the world would even want to replace their other apps with this mess, and that would been true even if he never gave anyone reason to hate him personally, which he’s done in spades.
It’s pathetic how obvious it is that it will fail hard.
It’s gonna be like yahoo.com circa 2012. Stocks, banks, messaging, email, news etc.
As ever, “we’re going to do everything” neatly translates in to “we’re going to do everything poorly”.
I would wipe my butt with the everything-app, but I doubt It will ever offer this service.
It will come with 3 seashells.
You need to use your phone with the app open for that service.
Reminds me of the welcome video for Mac OS X Snow leopard
The everything app, eh?
So you can manage your Tesla vehicle and Powerwall home battery and Tesla Solar Roof from it, surely?
Hate to be stupid but where’s the animation?
I took a screenshot from the animation. If you want to see the complete version of this stupid animation: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1694256985233846492?s=20
Looks like shit
OK, I would say “thanks” normally but that doesn’t seem to quite fit. :P
Lmao
