there's a big X where my profile used to be. I was going to check out Willie Nelson from a link here on DU, and I could still watch the video. that's doesn't always happen anymore. and i'll be goddamned if I'll subscribe there again.

I'm on Threads now. but mostly on DU

...if they're using any Unix software. X11/XWindows uses a stylized "X" that is very similar to the new Twitter logo. It also predates "Twitter/X" by at least a couple of decades. One wonders if the X11 logo is covered by the MIT License that secures the rest of the software.

Seriously, I drew better X's when I took a logo design class like 20 years ago. Like... WTF is he thinking? Oh wait, he's not thinking.

to X something out is to remove it or delete it.
Is this X the gong to ring the death knell of twitter?
I have enjoyed watching musk spend his money and failing
at the same time,I hope it does not last long I have trials to watch.

Me a never twitter, I won't miss it.
