A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@chiz X is so easy to search in internet. So many results; it gets never boring! Very unique name and brand.

Spez: Write it down, write it down! Let's rename Reddit to Z! Employee: Why Z? Spez: What do you mean why? Does X make any sense to you too? Employee: All right, I should have never questioned you.

It's like B, C, D, V, R in programming.... If Reddit took X++ and someone else took X#, the unsearchable name trifecta would be complete!

What's V? I don't see it on the list. X++ is already taken, though... but I see a huge potential in Y*.

V. There is also Vale, which was originally named VLang.

I don't remember exactly what it is, all i remember is there's a unix-like operating system written in it

Z, because the "Spe" was just an afterthought this whole time....

pardon me... I have been laughing so hard reading this thread, it was the best I could come up with! 😂
