    I tend to use the names of angels for my personal devices (which surprisingly was inspired by this and not NGE)

    For laptops I tend to use demons instead, just seems to fit better (which actually was inspired by Gundam IBO but this is the list)

    For example:

    • desktop (Linux side) is Raziel
    • desktop (windows side 😩) is Azrael
    • main laptop is Gusion
    • eBay Thinkpad is Barbatos











  • I think one of the reasons why we’re still seeing this done by journalists is because Elon’s takeover is probably relevant to whatever it is they’re reporting. I’ve definitely seen articles just refer to it as “X”. But whenever it’s a story about some crazy racist shit someone said or how poorly their advertising business is doing, it’s “formerly Twitter”.

    That said, I think online people who aren’t writing for news outlets and aren’t insane will — for the most part — always call it Twitter out of spite until the site either dies or Musk sells it and it changes back.
