San Francisco has opened a complaint and launched an investigation of a giant “X” sign that cropped up Friday on top of the downtown headquarters of the social media platform formerly known as Twitter
Apparently they are still referring to it as Twitter in the update notes, and can’t change the name to X in iOS because Apple has a 2 character minimum for app names.
I guess they must count graphemes instead of bytes — “𝕩” is four bytes.
“Great, can’t wait to open up my U+1D54F app and send off a bunch of U+1D54Fs!”
—Musk, probably
It’s sweet that he’d rename it again in honor of his next child. What a swell guy.
Why did they use an image that cropped out the subject of the article??
It looks pop-up Spirit Store quality what the hell
I think Musk has entered his four seasons landscaping part of his Twitter run.
It looks like it could fall over with any gust of wind and kill someone.
Don’t worry, it’s being held down with sandbags.
Lmao thanks for this. It somehow looks even worse than I imagined.
Interesting that Musk has money for this, but somehow can’t pay any of twitter’s other bills.
I bet the people who work at SpaceX and Tesla are having a really nice year, just getting on with their work unbothered while Musk is focusing all of his dumb energy on Twitter.
City officials say replacing letters or symbols on buildings, or erecting a sign on top of one, requires a permit for design and safety reasons.
OK but this is pretty ridiculous too
Why? You don’t want that crap to fall on people’s heads.
Permit doesn’t prevent that.
Getting a permit means getting an inspection to prevent literally that.
“Inspection” as in you pay some bureaucrat $X and he signs you a paper so you can put a sign on your fking wall
