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.
Neither of them sparks joy
…I’m (quite) sure that X is an indirect mockery to zoomers/millenials tho. But yeah, the Year of the Li— er, Wayland desktop is upon us lads.
Bro really trying to trademark a character.
whats wild is its already trademarked by Microsoft for numerous use cases and by Meta for this specific use case. I just don’t know how you don’t check on that.
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.
what a time to be alive.
Twitter is doing what? Why? ???
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
Want everyone to stop talking about your mistakes and failures? Rebrand! Now everyone is focused on your new stupid logo!
