You're also in a meme community, commenting on a meme, so while technically correct, it's not super relevant.
You miss 100% of the DSM that doesn’t get discredited 3 years from now.

Yeah but Vaas is iconic and absolutely arresting in every scene he's in.

For me, it's the definition of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer was universally considered insane and he didn't "do the same thing over and over and expect different results". He just killed and ate people over and over and expected them to taste good.

He's just a big fan of X11.
Nobody's a big fan of X11
Still astounding that after so many years Wayland is still inferior in a lot regards to X11. And by design will probably never be able to better in these regards
X via SSH is such a great feature. Would really love to see it in Wayland.
There's no protocol-level support, but all the communication happens over a socket and shared buffers, so that can be serialized. I believe Waypipe does this.
Is anyone going to tell Elon he cant own the letter X
That's a pretty terrible trademark
Tell that Apple.
Didn't they try to sue someone for using an apple as a logo in Switzerland?
Not sure about Switzerland but they did try in Poland https://www.pcworld.com/article/461258/apple_vs_a_pl_tech_company_sues_online_polish_grocer_over_logo.html
At this point where he is basically stripping the site of its users (paid + limits) and branding (removing the twitter bird) why didn't he just start up his own social media site and slow grow it instead of wasting money to pillage the competitor and then strip it of everything that made it what it was, i.e., the user base and the brand recognition?
He didn't want twitter in the first place. He made some legally binding comments and was legally required to purchase it after meme-ing an offer and thinking he could get away with it lol. Now he's suing the lawyers that made him buy Twitter.
Musk is not a very smart man.
To be precise, he's sueing the lawyers Twitter hired in the case to force him to buy, as Twitter paid them a bunch of money they weren't legally obligated to pay, just before the purchase went through.
Weren't legally obligated, that we know of. There could have been a fee paid at delivery of the deal being made, since that's how this firm and the firm that Musk hired to sue the old firm charge. They keep the billable hours down in order to keep the price low unless they win and then there is normally a "winning fee".
Without context it makes it seem that the payment was out of left field when it was business as usually, especially since Musk didn't want to actually go through with it.
Giving a shit about some corporation rebranding itself?
your right. however it is fun to laugh, and sad to realise how much of an impact he can make
