Having spent a considerable amount of time with Grok, to no avail, please help! Why is there a shooting star animation on X’s web interface? It’s distracting, causing PC fan noise if there's no GPU acceleration, and has no option to disable in Settings. @premium @XCorp

In a navel-gazing session with Grok, it suggests pitching a feature request to xAI like this: “Give users granular sharing control—per-query links in the Sidebar—to make Grok’s detailed answers more shareable without the full thread.”

.@RoyalMailHelp I've been patiently waiting for the return of an undelivered item since January. In total, my address was on/inside the package 5 times, yet I've now been told as it's more than 80 days since sending that's the end of the matter. Very disappointed with you.
