I feel like Y should be the successor to X.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago

Whyland doesn't sound as good though.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Do you mean like X, Why?, Z

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

You made me check my zipper.

they do NOT get the joke!!!1!!

The X window system is actually the successor to the W window system.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

There actually was a short-lived attempt to create a Y window system as a successor to X (before Wayland).

Funnily enough the website is still live, despite no progress in almost 20 years: y-windows.org

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

millenial.com is just a whatsapp call away!

[-] [email protected] 49 points 2 years ago

Help! I'm getting screen tearing in the new twitter!

[-] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago

No, the successor for XCOM is UFO: Alien Invasion.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

The development had stopped since 2020, you'll have to make do with inferior closed-source commercial clone called XCOM 2.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 2 years ago

Ahhh I can see the graphical glitches already

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

on X.com, I presume (that's where I get them)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

i don't get them, the delay is enough to make them disappear, my desktop too, but the glithes are gone :b

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago

Can someone please ELI5 this to me? Everyone seems to get it (as a joke?) but me.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ooh, it's the logo, god damn it, got it 2 secconds after posting this.

[-] [email protected] 64 points 2 years ago

Just in case anyone else stumbles across this and is confused, I'll explain in more detail.

On Linux there are two display server protocols, the very old X11 and the newer Wayland, which was designed as a successor to X11 by its maintainers.

Elon Musk announced today that he is renaming Twitter to X (yes, just X). The above posts takes the mick out of this on this by announcing a social media website called Wayland, i.e. the successor to Musk's X.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

To expand, one of his early businesses was X.com which was a payment processor and sold to paypal and eventually shutdown. He bought the domain again back in 2017 and it now redirects to twitter.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

He’s also been wanting to name something X for a while. When Ford wouldn’t let him name the Model 3 the Model X (so his cars would spell SEX) he must have sat on his laurels until he had a brain aneurysm big enough to make him think it’s a good idea to dump the Twitter brand for a math problem.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Isn't it that he wanted model E but that's the one Ford wouldn't allow? Because there is a Tesla model X. He wanted to spell SEXY but instead he now has S3XY.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Ah yea, that’s right. I misremembered.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Talk about callbacks...

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Thank you, this is just the kind of thorough explination i needed to understand this meme lol

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ooooh, it's toasting elmo's x. Thanks for clearing that up 😃.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

It's not just the logo, the domain name is extremely similar too (x.com vs x.org).

Big brands like to own all variants of their domain (so you can't register google.org or facebook.net, for example). But X can't do that.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Like Weyland-Yutani?

Bit random, but good to know.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It's markdown syntax: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#images-1

It follows the pattern of the link syntax which is why it comes across a little chaotic

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Dammit for some reason I thought this was some kind of rare, unknown game cover for a game called XCOM Enemy.
