i pro𝕄ise i won't

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

Is is pronounced eye-vee-eye, or pipe-slash-(slash-?)slash-pipe(-pipe?)?

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

H t t p colon backslash backslash Slash dot dot org

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

Is the use of back-slash instead of forward-slash an attempt to confuse any potential users?

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Nope just been a long time since I've written out the hypertext protocol lol, I guess my memory is failing in my old age.

Pipe-slash Slash-pipe is an acceptable band name.

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

that sounds like a guns and roses cover band.

Twitter is doing what? Why? ???

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 58 points 1 year ago

Want everyone to stop talking about your mistakes and failures? Rebrand! Now everyone is focused on your new stupid logo!

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

It totally worked for Xfinity

This I understand, but why in the name of the gods both old and new to X?? Why just one letter? ~Does his brain not work?~

Nvm figured it out

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

Its rage bait and everyone is still promoting it

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

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

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

I thought x.com became paypal

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It was taken over by PayPal, yeah. PayPal was the better processor and didn’t want competition

[-] zephr_c@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

PayPal didn't have enough cash to expand as quickly as they wanted to though, so they merged with x.com to get ahold of that blood emerald money.

[-] spamspeicher@feddit.de 25 points 1 year ago

Not why. X.

[-] starman@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

Same reasons as reddit. Pure stupidity.

[-] blake@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Give spez a few weeks and he’ll have followed with a reddit rebrand.

[-] khelmr@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Coming soon: reddit changes its name to 𝕐, because 𝕐 not?

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

Some megalomaniac man child thought it was a good idea.

[-] sci@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

musk likes X better

[-] yiliu@informis.land 28 points 1 year ago

As a looong-time Linux user...does it, though?

I'm pretty sure not even the developers of X like X...

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

it give good memories, it wasn't perfect but was there for us, nostalgic

[-] yiliu@informis.land 8 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] oo1@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

yeah
that black and white dotty screen where the mouse is a black X.
. . . after the 25th edit.
what a time to be alive.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Looking up modeline's for your monitor...

I mean, the same devs are making Wayland so.

The bottom one is just U+1D54F.

Bro really trying to trademark a character.

[-] zombuey@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

How could microsoft trademark a letter?

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

apparently easily.

It's so generic, the logo is literally on Unicode.

Don't believe me? I can just type 𝕏 out like this.. What's worse is that Google and YouTube and Wikipedia all pretend that it's just a regular X.

[-] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

And for those wondering, it's a "mathematical double-struck capital x".

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I kinda wonder what makes it "mathematical"

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

In set theory, this style, blackboard bold is used to represent "special sets", for example the set of all integers

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

Now I remember exactly what you mean

[-] Spike@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

The fancy line that barely distinguishes it from any other X, capital or not or maybe with a wiggly line, so you get extra confused in your proof on line 13 or something.

This just in, Elon Musk's company will no longer support nVidia out of the box.

Where is Richard Stallman when you need him?

[-] gaw@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 year ago

Ahh so this is why the front image looks like a screen tearing 😬

[-] SneakyThunder@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

X.org propaganda!

[-] Fer24@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Ok, Musk have an obsession with the letter X

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

Will X be using TWM from now on?

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

Neither of them sparks joy

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

both don't spark joy.
x11 is a mess.
