This is also a strange convergence of asshole design, and designed by assholes.

I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes

Hey, that was their surname, you need to capitalise it.

Isn't that the case with all asshole design?

It’s simple. Click the X.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

No, the other X.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

No, the 𝕏.

Random thought this inspired: does this mean the old Twitter copyrights and trademarks are going unused and unprotected?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Unused? Yes. Unprotected? No.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

trademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn't reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.

You know what is better than XXX? XXXX of course!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Isn't XXXX ultra-porn? Last I checked you need to be a 160 years old to rent and purchase it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How do you get this? It just redirects to Twitter for me
