[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”
If it looks like a joke and sounds like a joke, it’s probably made by Elon Musk.
Either that, or it’s an actual joke.
No those don’t exist anymore.
Great, now I’m going to have to put my TV in car wash mode…
The only X button I need is the close button.
Get ready for new shows starring Ben Shapiro and Gina Carano, or whatever right wing loser they manage to attract.
Get ready for the Hard R channel. It's just straight up racism 24/7
Half of America: why am I suddenly erect?
No, the Daily Liar is already trying to push into mass entertainment. It’s more likely to have Fucker Carlson and Alex “I need money to pay my civil judgements for my lies about Sandy Hook” Jones.
That guy should stop doing….well ALL the drugs.
He should do more of them, actually.
Someone start a rumor that a fentanyl laced k hole unlocks the other 90% of your brain, stat
Mostly ketamine
We are back at “Elon says” posts :-(
Yeah, because he is funny.
Your /s wasn’t not big enough.
Try adding a # in front of it.
on a new line, #[space][desired text] (# desired text)
In 12 months when he gets called on it buy debtors (since Shitter has no shareholders) he’ll try to buy Pluto TV and claim that was the plan the whole time.
Please, do anything fucking useful with your vast amounts of wealth. Anything.
Skydiving without a parachute would be my first choice.
Well, my hope is appearance of [Xitter] TV as streaming service, will force other services to be less Xittier. Kind of anti-enshittification pill. But that’s about it.
All the other services, at once: “Nah nah, hold my beer, WE are the shittiest of them all”
Agree, but for human tǔrds of his size I think you gotta bait his ego, like challenge him that he’s too much of a “pedo guy” to donate to the ACLU or something 🤷♂️
Imagine being so entrepreneurial that you think you need to buy twitter for way more than its worth in order to develop an app that does something entirely unrelated.
20$ says that this never actually happens in a meaningful way.
$44b says your probably right
Multiple bankrolls from saudia arabia and other authoritarian instigators to cover this wager
Musk is all over the place lately, claiming his Xai bots are doing practical work in the factory already, and will be ready for mass deployment “next year”, Which ought to be his nick name now. “Next year Musk”.
He also claimed a few days ago that robo-taxis were only months away.
New model cars from Tesla planned to arrive next year, should be moved up arrive this year.
The man must be desperate or on coke, he has always over-promised and under delivered, but these latest promises are over the top even for him.
coke
He’s on ketamine.
Noo that can’t be it, he has said it’s prescribed and only a low dosis.
Whatever he is on, I definitely don’t want it, seems he is getting more and more crazy.
Every time he says “this year” or “next year,” it’s at least 4 years away. He’s so full of shit that even his internal clock stinks.
Fully functional robotic taxis are already here, they’re just not made by western companies. It’s doubtful musks will ever work at this point, his “self-driving” is vaporware.
unsubscribe elon musk
Yeah that works as well as unsubscribing from cat news.
🥱
Musk probably wanted to create something like WeChat, so that he has all the power.
He’s blatantly stated as much before. He wants Twitter to be the everything app, the WeChat of the US
With all his meddling it’s not even the Twitter of the US anymore
He’s been saying it since the 90s. His “X App” is just the latest iteration of his want to create an all-encompassing “X” platform for everything from dating to banking.
A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app because he got a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can’t wait for this to crash and burn.
How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it “sh” like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.
English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!
Yes Sh sound is absolutely what is generally meant. Making it shitter.
Is a tweet now a sheet…on the shitter?
In my head, it’s more like Zitter
That’s how I use it. And it works.
Justin on MBMBAM recently talked about a “Xeet” instead of a tweet, pronounced “Zeet” and I thought that was also hilarious.
You made some giant deal about Musk odor being shunted to the business section but here this is. BARELY qualified as tech news because IT’S HIM. He’s nothing but futureware & farts.
PUT EVERYTHING MUSK INTO YOUR BUSINESS SECTION SO WE DON’T GOTTA FUUUICKIN SEE IT. CHRIST
your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.
Propaganda app full of right wing video, fox news, Russia Today and the TikTok channel.
Xitter, nice name, sounds like an adolescent skin condition.
I always mentally read that as “shitter”
That’s the goal. (Unsure of sarcasm)
Let me guess, the streaming services on it will be like DailyWire+, PragerU. What else
Please god no
When is this guy gonna go bankrupt? Before he even starts his channel I’m already tired of his shit show
Great… Now we’ll need to make another client team in Jellyfin 😆
Or leave that one out. I don’t think there’s much value in adding right-wing video podcasts, racists, and Russian propaganda to Jellyfin.
He didn’t get the Twitter app for Roku when he bought them? I remember having to install that app to watch some NFL game or something.
I’m going to call it “coughshitter” because that’s what it sounds like
If it integrates properly with tv that will be one thing better than Netflix at least…
"Xitter"?
Reads like "chitter", sounds creepy enough.
Shitter is the mutually agreed upon pronunciation

Is it going to be called xvideos?
mPony@lemmy.world 6 months ago
the only massive pile of wank in that equation would be Elon.
Emptiness@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Shitter TV. Only spelled differently.

Ah, yes , the XTV, just like porn, but the one getting fucked is you!
