Not to defend musk, but it’s not from one specific font. The logo is just Unicode char 1D54F, a blackboard bold X/“MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL X”
A character is nothing without a font though. When you look at a character on-screen, it’s being rendered in a specific font. Typing that Unicode character in “Special Alphabets 4” produces the image in question.
The character (𝕏) doesn’t actually doesn’t exist in the font, because supporting arbitrary Unicode characters in every font would be absurd. Paste it into the font preview and it renders a black square.
There are fonts that support every unicode character though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noto_fonts supports up to Unicode 13. How do you think phones display every single unicode character in a text message?
Of course there are fonts that support every character, the characters themselves would be useless if they couldn’t be rendered by anything. I’m only saying that this specific font doesn’t support the character.
It means people see the same post over and over because they’ve subscribed to multiple related communities. Nobody’s doing anything wrong but the effect is really annoying. Probably the real solution is for clients to be smarter about displaying redundant posts.
Not everyone is subscribed to all of those communities though. I just checked which ones they were posted to and I’m only part of this one. I would not have seen it if it wasn’t crossposted here
If you want to cross post to different communities, then maybe, but cross posting to all the other technology communities seems awfully redundant and spammy. With how lemmy works, if someone is subscribed to one technology community, they're likely subscribed to others.
It seems like a lot of people are talking about twitter even if mostly negative. I see it in the news and online way more often than before Elon bought it. And we are talking about it now ;)
Recently I saw a lot of these with the Microsoft aquisition - on both sides. You have the Microsoft simps, but also the people who are not against Microsoft because of the scum move itself, but because they "take away" from Sony, the company they simp for.
So long as exclusives mean console+PC because I don’t care for owning another console. EA comes to mind with these mergers, maybe open up the social mind space for new blood to roll in and eat their lunch.
I know i get Downvotes all the way, but just pay for YouTube Premium. I do it a while now and me and my wife use YouTube Music for Music Streaming (wich i like more than Spotify). NewPipe is no Solution for me, cause i watch YouTube on my TV and listen Music on my Smart Speaker.
