It’s simple: just don’t visit the website, and you won’t have that problem anymore.

Decades of browser engineering have failed us… This day came.

Tygr ,

Friends don’t let friends use “Ten”

glimse ,

The rebrand is dumb but anyone who believes you’ve unlearned years of muscle memory in 48 hours because an X got added to the page is also dumb

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

Assuming that PCs are the only computers that exist. Cool.

glimse ,

What does the operating system have to do with it? Wtf lol

It’s not an ad, it’s a browser window. You know where the close button is unless you started using [whatever OS won’t offend you] yesterday

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

Many linux desktops and all Macs have the close button on the top left side of the window. So yeah, muscle memory on those system is to move to the top left corner.

glimse ,

My bad, I forgot that macOS puts scaled up window control buttons inside the webpage

If that’s a problem for you, do you also fall for the fake virus alert scams? It’s very easy to tell them apart. Plus, muscle memory doesn’t apply here since you can just swing your mouse to the top left of the screen and click. No vision is even needed. That’s what muscle memory is.

over_clox ,

Many advertisements on mobile devices have the X in any random corner, so what’s ya point. I see an X, naturally my first thought is this must be the close button.

sloonark ,

This rebrand is so dumb in so many ways.

Rando ,

What’s funny is how excited Elo was about it, like it was this huge contribution to the site.

user75736572 ,

Am I the only one who thinks the rebranding is kinda cool?

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

You aren’t the only one. Elon seems to think so too.

user75736572 ,

lol at least it’s a rare domain

Holyginz ,

…so?

user75736572 ,

It’s kinda cool that he owns that

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

Billionaires get to own just about anything they want.

user75736572 ,

Yeah but only one can have x.com

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

I guess Thunderdome if two of them ever want it.

the_kalash ,

From how I understand it, all domains exists exaclty once. How can one be rare?

darcy ,
@darcy@sh.itjust.works avatar

i believe its one of the only domains with one letter

Rivalarrival ,

Your comment rests on the assumption that this user is not Elon.

user75736572 ,

Who knows

Holyginz ,

Yes

VediusPollio ,
@VediusPollio@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t have much of an opinion on Twitter or what Elon does with Twitter, but I’m not a fan of this rebranding.

That said, I’m going to upvote you since the rest of Lemmy is apparently all about quashing dissenting opinions.

Anticorp ,

Oh gosh… What a UI mistake that is. 30 years of standard interfaces down the drain!

seds ,

Such a waste :(

LazaroFilm ,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.film avatar

What’s that?

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

The new twitter or whatever.

LazaroFilm ,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.film avatar

Why are you on it? At least go to Mastodon. Don’t go on TwitterX

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t use it, but news articles keep embedding videos that don’t play in place. You click to play and it loads the whole dumb site.

Rivalarrival ,

I believe it’s “Xcreter” now.

aeternum ,

Xcrement Plus

Jtee ,
@Jtee@lemmy.world avatar

Correction, it’s “Ten”.

possiblylinux127 ,

*xxx

nicetriangle ,

you should just close the window and never open it again

Tenthrow OP ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

Completely agree, but news articles keep embedding videos that will not play in place. Also mildly infuriating.

@NuclearNoggin@lemmy.world avatar

hoping this is a joke

Zorque ,

Yes, but also reality.
