Fuck x.com. All my homies use wayland.social.

Damn, that’s unironically a pretty clever name for a Masto instance

Cant believe it ! :D
It was such fun looking for kernel updates and holding off for dear life… Otherwise your system booted up to a command line prompt. Fine fine. I guess X will just continue to spiral plurally together as one big xmass.

Doesn’t matter, they are both deprecated.

X is deprecated. I wonder why it still on the alphabet.
- ddh ( @DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org ) English4•1 year ago
How long until Alphabet claims ownership of X?
- Beej Jorgensen ( @beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org ) 21•1 year ago
It is very unlikely there is customer confusion over the matter. Though both companies are in tech, they are in wildly different branches of tech. I don’t think X.org has a valid trademark complaint in this case.
- dingleberry ( @dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de ) 21•1 year ago
There is no material loss. It’s not that X.org was swimming in cash before.

Now i have to search X11 or xorg instead of x… Thats a whole three to four letters more… Smh my head /s

The name X is not copyrightable as far as I know. There is a lot of stuff named X.
Copyright is different to trademark. Any business name clash would be a trademark dispute

Trademark only matters if there is possible confusion.

The basic stylization looks pretty similar.
- stifle867 ( @stifle867@programming.dev ) 1•1 year ago
In so far as they are both the letter X. Otherwise they share little similarities.
- yum13241 ( @yum13241@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year ago
They both have a bigger line and a smaller line.
- stifle867 ( @stifle867@programming.dev ) 1•1 year ago
And one has a distinctive and large orange loop that clearly differentiates it.

I’d rather them use the money to fix bugs instead of suing billionaire though.
- Kayn ( @HKayn@dormi.zone ) 13•1 year ago
Suing for what?
- Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 12•1 year ago
You can’t trademark a letter of the alphabet.
- 👁️👄👁️ ( @mojo@lemm.ee ) English11•1 year ago
One letter domains are cringe
- xia ( @xia@lemmy.ca ) English3•1 year ago
Gotta sue the alphabet, at that point.
- mexicancartel ( @mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•1 year ago
You mean parent company of google?
- xia ( @xia@lemmy.ca ) English7•1 year ago
I kinda hate it when companies steal existing common terms (alphabet, apple, windows, meta); it’s a unilateral usurpation of everyone’s speech, and (to some degree) a violation of the their minds.
- hackris ( @hackris@lemmy.ml ) 8•1 year ago
Oops, I guess all my math problems infringe a trademark. There are simply way too many things named X. Also, the X.org foundation don’t have as much money as Twitter, which makes any fight a lost cause.
- Chris ( @i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk ) English5•1 year ago
Their logos are very similar. How many different ways can you stylise an “X” though?
I assumed this would happen in the first week.
