Does this mean I won't be able to use the letter 'x' anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

  • Two people fighting will now be boing.
  • When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
  • When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
  • I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.

You’ll have to replace them all with q’s:

  • boqing
  • miq
  • eqit
  • galaqy

Ah dammit we just reinvented Esperanto.

[–] gornar 2 points 1 year ago

Upvote for Esperanto!

  • boksing
  • miksing
  • eksit
  • galaksy
[–] SuperRyn 2 points 1 year ago

Multiplication relegated to the scrapbooks of history. Pour one out for mathmatics.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Roman numerals are out, I guess.

Apparently the X used by Twi-- er, X Corp, is from a font that X may not actually have the actual license to use.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Elon doesn't pay his hosting bills or rent, you think he's gonna care about something as inane as a license fee?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Of course not, but it's worth pointing out :p

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Of course not. Licenses are for the poors. The creator of the font will benefit from the exposure of being the logo.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

"B-b-but I got it from dafont!"

-Elon musk, probably

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Elon is seriously speed running proving to hoggest of the hogs that rich people are not special or more intelligent. I absolutely refuse to believe even the reply guys with Musk’s limp dick perpetually stuffed in their various orifices can think changing a “successful” (at least well known) 20 year old company’s branding and name. Anyone even pretending to support this is absolutely coping. My brain cannot fathom the stupidity required to believe otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Rich people are special, just not in a good way

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only geeks will understand

X is the name of a windowing system used in a lot of Unix-like operating systems

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks! Tried the Google reverse image search to no joy.

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

[–] HR_Pufnstuf 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Aaayy ayyoo ayyoo aaayy ayyoo ayyo

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

i get it, its the X over the dead eyeballs of twitter as it is now deceased.

[–] meanmon13 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?

[–] Exatron 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's Space Karen's new name, and logo, for Twitter.

[–] Amazed 2 points 1 year ago

Unbelievable… I bet he’s trying to make a conglomeration like Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Space Karen is a good way to put it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Twitter, unfortunately.

(If that was sarcasm and I whooshed, my bad)

Fuck X.org all my homies use Wayland

The fact that this gets almost 500 upvotes makes me doubt the Reddit exodus, as this would mean most of us around here are Unix/Linux users.

[–] chaosppe 9 points 1 year ago

If it makes you feel any better, I thought it was porn.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve got a feeling a lot of Reddit is Unix/Linux users

[–] NikkiDimes 5 points 1 year ago

I highly, highly doubt that, unless you're including Android

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I've been using Wayland before it was cool

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is honestly the first thing I thought of when I saw X

[–] SuperRyn 4 points 1 year ago

yup exactly, i was joking about that on the Linux Mint discord earlier

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

See how confusing it's going to be. Thanks, Elon Musk, thanks for nothing you jerk!

[–] gornar 3 points 1 year ago

I guess his kid has to be called KS ÆA-12 now, for legal reasons
