@b0rk Oh bugger, do you think you should replace X with, idk, XYZ because X means something now??

You forgot to draw yourself in the last frame ;) But srsly, someone who inspires with a positive attitude. Programming discourse can be full of negativity. Like, The Coding Train videos made me happy and inspired me to try new stuff.

@ednl @b0rk I suspect "X" will always mean "The X Window System" to me. (It's been in common use since the '80s, I think. I didn't start using it till the early '90s. Still do, every day.)

@marbles @b0rk There is that. Although I don't think it's often called X alone? Always X Window System or X.Org in different contexts. Ah no, I guess I don't use it enough: on x.org it is indeed called X even on the front page.
