Context: Twitter is currently rebranding it self as X.com, which is the bottom logo. X.org is a FOSS implementation of the The X Window System which is being slowly replaced by the newer Wayland display server. Because of the Twitter rebrand Someone decided to make Wayland.social, to parody the X.org to Wayland transition.
Is the use of back-slash instead of forward-slash an attempt to confuse any potential users?
Twitter is doing what? Why? ???
Want everyone to stop talking about your mistakes and failures? Rebrand! Now everyone is focused on your new stupid logo!
Musk really likes the letter X, and his previous x.com venture from 1999 went belly up
So, he’s rebranding his new toy to his favorite letter
It was taken over by PayPal, yeah. PayPal was the better processor and didn’t want competition
As a looong-time Linux user…does it, though?
I’m pretty sure not even the developers of X like X…
I have a lot of memories of debugging xf86config, browsing forums & docs in lynx in another term, frantically trying to get a GUI so I could finish an assignment or whatever…
I guess those are good memories?
yeah
that black and white dotty screen where the mouse is a black X.
. . . after the 25th edit.

The bottom one is just U+1D54F.
Bro really trying to trademark a character.
