- CyberDildonics 3y agoDid you mean to reply somewhere else? This doesn't seem to relate to what they said.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoI think it's a joke on the claim that Twitter would become an 'everything app' when it became X. The software X11, being a windowing system, actually is a system for running 'every app', in a way.
- snvzz 3y agoX11 is a protocol, not a window manager.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoGood point; I've edited my post so that it's more accurate.
- jbverschoor 3y agoYes that was the joke :)
- tsimionescu 3y agoMaybe they were joking comparing the logo flip with the way X flips the regular notion of client and server (you run the X server on your machine, and you connect the remote app as a client).
- jbverschoor 3y agoYeah woops. There was a comment that said the X logo looks like this X’s logo, but flipped
- TheRealPomax 3y agoWhen in reality they just went "oh hey, double struck mathematical operators? Cool", typed "&1D54F;"[1], scrolled through their font picker, and then sent the invoice.

- lenerdenator 3y agoWhat're the odds that invoice has been paid?
- GuB-42 3y agoPresumably, Elon Musk did it himself. Which isn't hard to believe considering his fascination for the letter "X" and that it is a common Unicode symbol. The story doesn't tell if he paid himself to do that.
- happytiger 3y agoIt truly is the most mid, uninspired corporate logo I’ve seen in a while.
- TheRealPomax 3y agoI dunno, remember the apple logo redesign?
