Fuck x.com. All my homies use wayland.social.
Damn, that’s unironically a pretty clever name for a Masto instance
And now it looks like it is 😁
TIL
Cant believe it ! :D
It was such fun looking for kernel updates and holding off for dear life… Otherwise your system booted up to a command line prompt. Fine fine. I guess X will just continue to spiral plurally together as one big xmass.
Because X’s janitor budget for lunch is better than their whole budget.
Doesn’t matter, they are both deprecated.
twitter has more money (for lawsuits)
no benefit for xorg
the us is ruled by money
They’ll likely get drowned in the birdie’s gigantic pile of cash.
You can’t trademark a letter of the alphabet.
X is deprecated. I wonder why it still on the alphabet.
How long until Alphabet claims ownership of X?
One letter domains are cringe
Gotta sue the alphabet, at that point.
You mean parent company of google?
I kinda hate it when companies steal existing common terms (alphabet, apple, windows, meta); it’s a unilateral usurpation of everyone’s speech, and (to some degree) a violation of the their minds.
I’d rather them use the money to fix bugs instead of suing billionaire though.
Suing for what?
There is no material loss. It’s not that X.org was swimming in cash before.
Now i have to search X11 or xorg instead of x… Thats a whole three to four letters more… Smh my head /s
It is very unlikely there is customer confusion over the matter. Though both companies are in tech, they are in wildly different branches of tech. I don’t think X.org has a valid trademark complaint in this case.
Their logos are very similar. How many different ways can you stylise an “X” though?
The name X is not copyrightable as far as I know. There is a lot of stuff named X.
Copyright is different to trademark. Any business name clash would be a trademark dispute
The basic stylization looks pretty similar.
In so far as they are both the letter X. Otherwise they share little similarities.
They both have a bigger line and a smaller line.
And one has a distinctive and large orange loop that clearly differentiates it.
