Deathly bug plaguing X right now.
X rolled out a new app today for macOS: just the iPad app running on Apple silicon Macs. There's only one problem: Anyone who uses it will be suspended within a few hours. This is not a joke.
To make matters worse, the functioning app auto-updates to this faulty app, suspending the accounts of everyone who used the old app for no reason, automatically, with not even a suspension notice email.
How do I know about this? I, uh, learned the hard way.
Today in X /
