A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

Man, Elon really does ruin everything. Can't even use X as a variable anymore without a disclaimer.

It's causing hell of problems to mathematicians worldwide.

Suddenly, every math formula ever written is subject to copyright and royalties.

They are left asking Y.

Fuck that, I refuse to give him the letter. He can pry it from my cold dead hands as he chokes on my liver!

How about using a programmer style variables like badCompanyName. You don’t have to be a mathematician. Sure, I can totally appreciate concise names, but some times you have to use longer names to avoid collisions.

Csmel case isn't POSIX complaint. Underscores ftw /s

I prefer [insertconpanynamehere] but in this case name and shame almost seems more appropriate.

An X is an X, the social network shall be known as X, formerly Twitter /J

"As you can see on this graph, the Twitter axis represents time, and the Y axis represents total number of unique visitors"

It is an ex-social-platform. It is now a pile of garbage.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

It was always a pile of garbage...

Too true.

There is some arguement to be made that Facebook was kind of good at first. It was useful and it had social impacts that were positive. Over time it became toxic.

Twitter was awful from day one though, mostly because it was bloody useless from day one. Everything that anybody used it for could have been done, and generally was also done, on Facebook, so there was literally no point in the platform.

Good point. Now it is a steaming pile of hot garbage. Haha

[-] library_napper@monyet.cc 20 points 2 years ago

This is why I always call it twitter. X is a variable

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago

It's new name is "X, formally known as Twitter". Which is what every news website on the planet calls it.

Regardless the fact that X is a stupid name for a company, it's also dumb to rename a popular company generally anyway.

"Twitter" is shorter
