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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Upvote for Esperanto!

[-] pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one 15 points 1 year ago

just use "ks" instead, e.g.

  • boksing
  • miksing
  • eksit
  • galaksy
[-] SuperRyn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Roman numerals are out, I guess.

[-] brap@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Oh boxing! Omg I'm an idiot lol

[-] b1_@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 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.

[-] kryllic@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

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

-Elon musk, probably

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

No, it's just a unicode charachter. 𝕏

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.

[-] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Rich people are special, just not in a good way

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago

Only geeks will understand

[-] ExpensiveConstant@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Tight-laced@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

It's like when MS stole the XInput name for themselves, too.

[-] Currens_felis@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

[-] HR_Pufnstuf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Aaayy ayyoo ayyoo aaayy ayyoo ayyo

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 21 points 1 year ago

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

[-] meanmon13@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

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

Fuck X.org all my homies use Wayland

[-] halvar@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year 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.

[-] chaosppe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] roi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] nychtelios@rlyeh.icu 12 points 1 year ago
[-] gingernate@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I've been using Wayland before it was cool

[-] SuperRyn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] roi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] gornar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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