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 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

just use "ks" instead, e.g.

  • boksing
  • miksing
  • eksit
  • galaksy
[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Roman numerals are out, I guess.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think boing is a pretty fun name for boxing actually!

[-] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Aaayy ayyoo ayyoo aaayy ayyoo ayyo

[-] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Hey, hey oh, hey oh

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Fuck X.org all my homies use Wayland

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months 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] 4 points 11 months ago

Twitter, unfortunately.

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

I've been using Wayland before it was cool

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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