    Just from an economic standpoint, it’s such a terrible decision. The Twitter bird is iconic to the point where the trademark itself is worth a considerable amount. This is like Disney dumping Mickey Mouse for a side character in The Dark Cauldron.

        Come to think of it, will employees be called x-men? Like the Zuck started refering to his employees as meta mates or whatever it was.

    Sometimes I wonder if the Claudian letters stuck and, just like we got X for /ks/ (or /gz/… or /ʃ/… or whatever, this letter is a mess), we also got a Ↄ for /ps/. Maybe modern people would be also spamming Ↄ for this sort of “rule of cool”?

    Musk’s gon’ bill it to ya

    Tired of tweeting for free? X’s gonna monetize ya

    Tap tap, open up the app, it’s free

    With the non-stop, cash grab of premium fees

    Riding rockets, now he’s starbound and sold

    But he got such a grand scheme

    That’ll make a tweeter wonder if he’s been memed

    Damn right, and he’ll charge you again, 'cause he’s Elon, so hes gots to win

    Tweet battles with the freemium, but no matter how many cats he boxes with, he’ll profit on your scene and win

    I honestly wonder if this is going to end up forcing the X graphics system to rename itself based on trademark law.

      The internet hasn’t even been around that long I wonder how long a web platform can even exist? The have certain been generations so far. It feels like we are changing generations now

    So there was a thing called Unibird? I’m excited to learn more about operating system history.
