Attached: 1 image @[email protected] It looked familiar to me but not because of the X window system logo. There's an even better match. Try this on overleaf and see what I mean: https://www.overleaf.com/read/gyxfqdgpmrdk

Mastodon ๐Ÿ˜
@juandesant @compositor it's probably lowercase tho, ๐•ฉ
@leah @compositor looks to me they went for the capital oneโ€ฆ
@compositor I'm already looking for ways to get in on that hot hot Wayland IPO
Everybody was looking to buy Y.next , you had done better โค๏ธ
@compositor this is gonna spark whole new flamewars in the window compositor debatespace
@compositor I had to do a wiki search to get the joke ! ๐Ÿ˜†
@compositor this is quality content
@compositor This is a #Linux joke, right? I think I get it. ๐Ÿ˜… #casualnerd
@compositor top tier domain pick up ๐Ÿคฃ
@compositor now this is a top tier joke.
@compositor Finally! I have been expecting you ๐Ÿ˜†
@compositor (can someone please explain the joke? I don't get?)
@bookstardust @compositor Elon Musk announced that he is renaming Twitter to X. In the Linux world, X (or X11) and Wayland are two windowing systems (X is mostly old and quite outdated).

This joke just had to be made
๐Ÿ˜†
@szkodnix @bookstardust @compositor Also don't forget that X11's website is https://X.org
X.Org

@szkodnix @bookstardust @compositor

The logo is nearly the same as Xorg's too. The joke wrote itself.

@bookstardust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(protocol) is called the successor of the X11 display server on Linux machines, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windowing_system#Display_server_communications_protocols. They are referenced to as "Wayland" and "X" respective. So yes, this is a kind of "Linux joke".

And in case of wayland.social vs. x.com a real good one ๐Ÿคฃ

@compositor But when does the merger with Yutani Corp take place?
@compositor I thought the successor was PayPal....
@compositor I loved xcom a lot tho ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCOM ๐Ÿ™ƒ
XCOM - Wikipedia

@compositor Genius ๐Ÿคฉ
@abhijith @compositor You plan to merge with Yutani.social soon?
@aka_quant_noir @compositor No. After consulting withvChatGPT based astrologer chat bot Wayland refrained from entering into a contract with Yutani as the aftermath would have been devastating for our galaxy.
@compositor Seeing Weyland-Yutani joke mentioned twice in this thread makes me happy.
@compositor do you still do evil things with robots?
@compositor did you specifically set up a whole Mastodon instance just to make this pun? 
@compositor Funny, the moment people talked about how the X logo looked a lot like the X Window System logo, I joked about someone making a "Wayland.social" instance. Guess someone actually made it!
@compositor which one better, x.com or xnxx.com ?
@compositor fedi people really keep that thing (domain registrar) on them
@compositor Haha, I was looking for whoever made this joke already before I would make it. And there we go. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚
@compositor
did someone just buy a domain name to run a mastodon instance only to make a linux joke?
A real pity the best X.com joke is also deep nerd lore #RIPTwitterBird #twitternotx
@horia @compositor Sorry. Waiting for arcan.space to be stable.
