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.
[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’ll have to replace them all with q’s:

  • boqing
  • miq
  • eqit
  • galaqy
[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah dammit we just reinvented Esperanto.

[–] gornar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Upvote for Esperanto!

[–] pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

just use "ks" instead, e.g.

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

elon musk and mark zuckerberg will be boksqing in a cage match neksqt month perhaps

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Roman numerals are out, I guess.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Xiaomi be like, you will what your ingredients together?

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh boxing! Omg I'm an idiot lol

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

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 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 5 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

[–] bh11235@infosec.pub 46 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

[–] Overzeetop@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Hey, hey oh, hey oh

[–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only geeks will understand

[–] Tight-laced@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] ExpensiveConstant@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 (2 children)

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

[–] HR_Pufnstuf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Aaayy ayyoo ayyoo aaayy ayyoo ayyo

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 (2 children)

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

[–] Exatron@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Amazed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Kreliho@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Twitter, unfortunately.

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

[–] meanmon13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, totally out of the loop on this one... Is he renaming Twitter?

Fuck X.org all my homies use Wayland

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 (1 children)

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

[–] 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
