I feel like Y should be the successor to X.

[-] fujiwood@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Whyland doesn't sound as good though.

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

[-] AffineConnection@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] red@feddit.de 7 points 1 year 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

millenial.com is just a whatsapp call away!

[-] elxeno@lemm.ee 50 points 1 year ago

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

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

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

[-] pelya@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] arkannon@iusearchlinux.fyi 40 points 1 year ago

Ahhh I can see the graphical glitches already

[-] mrquantumoff@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FellowHuman@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FellowHuman@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 63 points 1 year 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.

[-] hypelightfly@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[-] june@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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.

[-] TableCoffee@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year 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.

[-] june@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ah yea, that’s right. I misremembered.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Talk about callbacks...

[-] hazeebabee@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] vicfic@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Noughmad@programming.dev 23 points 1 year 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.

[-] yesimprogun@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Like Weyland-Yutani?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Bit random, but good to know.

[-] StudioLE@programming.dev 3 points 1 year 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
