1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    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.

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

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

    [–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

    [–] yiliu@informis.land 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    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 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    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 2 years ago

    Looking up modeline's for your monitor...

    [–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

    Good because they're in the past and we don't have to do this anymore...

    [–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

    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 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    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 2 years ago (1 children)

    How could microsoft trademark a letter?

    [–] zombuey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    apparently easily.

    [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

    Ridiculous which companies own all of the alphabets?(i'm sure they do)

    [–] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

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

    [–] Resol@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

    [–] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

    I kinda wonder what makes it "mathematical"

    [–] xor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    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 2 years ago

    Now I remember exactly what you mean

    [–] Spike@feddit.de 6 points 2 years 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.

    [–] 999666@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    Probably used in vector notation and gauge fields

    [–] Fer24@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

    Ok, Musk have an obsession with the letter X

    [–] gaw@lemmy.cafe 7 points 2 years ago

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

    [–] nitefox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    Neither of them sparks joy

    [–] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

    XXX?

    [–] GustavoM@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

    ...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.
