This is a jab at Muskrat and his rebranding of the birdshite, I mean site, to X…

elbarto777 ,

Someone must have suggested the x.org logo as a trolling moment, and he bit. Amazing!

lemmyvore ,

The X.org logo is cut in half and also has an ellipse around it.

It doesn’t matter from his point of view even if it were identical. He probably doesn’t care if he has to stumble through mistakes as long as he gets where he wants to eventually, and he probably loves the attention in-between.

fluxion ,

It gets the job done

Ah, the motif window manager was so cool!

Knock knock, open up the door, it’s real

InverseParallax ,

Yeah I actually forgot this or wiped it from my brain somehow :(

Froyn ,

I've always imagined it as a pizza commercial:

Knock, Knock, open up the door. It's Steve.
If its more than 30 minutes than the pizza is free

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Originally called the “X Window System”, colloquially “X-Windows”.

(all of this happened long before M$-Windows)

Cabeza2000 ,

All this X talk remind me of XTree Gold. I have not thought about that SW for a long time and I used it a lot in the nineties.

Bet Elon will sue tf outta this /s

raltoid ,

What is with the “/s”?

He literally will try to sue once someone tells him about it(because he is a “programmer” that basically doesn’t know what linux is and thinks open source means he can take it).

shinobizilla ,

Ha maybe it wasn’t needed. Elon is too predictable at this point I wouldn’t be surprised.

lath ,

Remember Meta, the original thing before Facebook illegally took it as its own with zero consequences? Yeah, me neither.

Dnn ,

It’s also impossible to find info on that now since every query involving “meta” and “facebook” gives only results about the current company.

SirSimonSpamalot ,

that’s so meta

Anders429 ,

Where can I read more about this?

lath ,

Heh. reddit.

beeng , (edited )

Snowcrash book for “metaverse”

how is it illegal? not to defend Facebook, just genuinely interested

lath ,

Oh, i’m embellishing. It was only illegal from a moral perspective far as i read back when it was news. Their legal team did their money’s worth and exploited the many existing legal loopholes to either take over or buyout the ownership quietly. Haven’t seen the former self-presented owners since the event in question, so either it was a scam or they were paid a lot to keep quiet. Or threatened. Regardless, it was a big hubbub when the Meta thing was revealed and then there was silence.

Meanwhile me who uses Wayland and only has the absolute necessary packages installed to make Xwayland work.

anlumo ,

I’ve experienced it twice that my Ubuntu system uninstalled xwayland while updating packages. The UI doesn’t start any more in this case, because the login screen still uses it.

Dark_Arc ,
@Dark_Arc@lemmy.world avatar

That’s rough buddy

@Felix@feddit.de avatar

Wait

Ubuntu uses GNOME. Xwayland is one of GNOME’s dependencies. meaning apt bricked your GNOME for no apperent reason???

Though if your dm breaks, you should still be able to log into a TTY and start your desktop manually. This is what I do for my Hyprland install, since I don’t see a reason to use a dm personally.

anlumo ,

I’m using Hyprland as well, but I didn’t intentionally uninstall anything from Gnome. I don’t know how it happens.

anlumo ,

It was a bad name back when this project was created, and it’s a bad name now.

MonkderZweite ,

And startx is still a template you’re strongly encouraged to replace with something better.

MonkderZweite ,

Btw, there’s github.com/Earnestly/sx

lemmyvore ,

Go on… 😄

This is it, lads! At least, the YEAR OF THE LI—

…oh.

AffineConnection ,

That’s the X logo, not the X.Org logo, which has a superimposed “O” in addition to the X logo. X.Org didn’t come until the 21^st^ century, although it is now considered the official reference implementation of X.

ipkpjersi , (edited )

I use X11/Xorg every day. It may not be the most modern thing ever, but it has absolutely every feature I want, and doesn’t have random apps like Synergy (sorry) that say “This app is not supported in Wayland”
