klitoris: Permission deniedbash: klitoris: command not found...
:(No, you should
touch klitorisorfinger klitoris, not bash it.man klitorisno manual entry for klitorisWell that explains a lot.
This is such an underrated joke.
Use the -f option to find it
Me naming my files: fgzvtj
I don’t think that app exists but there is this
Is it Klit or Kilt, the readme literally says both…
I’m kind of surprised that Apple didn’t name the iPhone just “Phone”.
Probably not enough to get recognised as a brand.
Common dictionary words are not trademarkable. In fact, if an existing trademark becomes common in speech it becomes genericized and the trademark is lost. One of my personal hobbies is doing that to Velcro.
That, and you’ve got to remember how big iPods were at the time. In 2007, it was weird that Apple was entering the cell phone market. The iSomething branding basically saved the company in 2001 with the iMac and iBook, the iPod was the first electronics gadget I ever remember being worn as a status symbol, the first that got treated like designer clothing or shoes. That “I have an iPod, and you have…whatever that is.” White headphone cords were a fashion statement. The Motorola Razr phone got the same treatment before the iPhone.

Oh you mean velcro?
Is this xerox a Canon?
See? It’s working.
That’s a brand??? Then what’s the actual thing called?
Hook and loop fastener or something long and unwieldy
GNOME folks are like “well, before GNOME was even a thing, we had this application called The Gimp, and we kinda wish we didn’t call it that, so please don’t name your apps for laughs OK?”
It’s my favorite app to play around with
Search results: klitoris not found.
Wetware feature.
Is the GNOME version called Gock?
I would not be surprised if KDE already had “Klitoris”
It would have to be some horrid acronym for something like KDE Library Integration Tool Offering Recursive Integration Services or some shit.
Windows does have the best naming schemes
It’s telling me to slow down when I try to look under the hood.
I keep having to work around it.
The terms-of-service were too confusing.
It’s not klitoris, I was in the pool.
The most clearest description of file explorer: Dolphin (?)
Or nautilus. My assumption is the files are in your sea not in their cloud.
Lumberjack or woodpecker honestly would have been better names since file systems are basically trees
The application most likely to cause confusion among True Gamers™ who got fed up with Windows.
(PRO TIP:
dolphinis the KDE file manager,dolphin-emuis what you really want. PRO TIP 2: To defeat the PulseAudio daemon, shoot at it until it dies)Oh, a hybrid of dolphin and an emu. What a wonderful idea.
Like if Nautilus is any better
Or, like, Total Commander. A wild guess would be some strategy game.
Once a couple employers ago, I got an email from IT admins demanding that I uninstall that “game”.
Wasn’t it named after Norton Commander?
I mean, yeah, but then the same applies to Norton Commander as well :D
The nautical theme also continues with Nemo
Dolphin, the total commander of nautilus!
WDYM “explorer”, is that some weird name for a file manager?
You can explore file system, but how would you dolphin it?
It kind of makes sense. You are swimming the sea of misorganized random piles of files and folders you have created.
You think that’s the worst?
Jarvis, kill this developer
It’s a literal loli snatcher. what did you think it was going to be named?
Passable censoring, 2/3 successfully censored
I hope they changed the name and icon. Edit: it’s still there somehow
I feel like they made the app for this exact purpose and are proud to say it.
good theory
I’m still amazed people use and browse the septic tank of the internet. Xitter just won’t stop.
It’s still the best social media for anything worthwhile. Hyperlocal news, sports, government agencies, corporate news, everyone posts there since nobody looks at Facebook anymore and Instagram is mainly for pics. All the good artists are on Twitter as well.
Nobody is posting to Mastodon because actually finding information and people is proper impossible. I mean hell I almost never see any posts from Mastodon getting posted to any meme community because everyone is all tech and politics and doom and serious.
I wonder if Twitter just hung onto market share in India while it hemorrhaged users in the anglosphere? IIRC we’ve seen this with Facebook in a few places. Basically everyone I want to follow moved to Bluesky or at least is posting their content there too - there’s a few local governments that are stuck in 2010 technologically due to indifference or lack of budget that still only post stuff to Twitter but that’s fairly unusual, but is infuriating enough for people to post about it.
Fuck blue sky. Use mastodon.
That’s possible, I don’t know literally anyone from India on Bluesky; In fact there’s more people I personally know who are on Mastodon as it’s prevalent in the FOSS ecosystem. But Mastodon doesn’t bring in general people easily so literally the only people I follow there are related to the FOSS ecosystem (and similar nerds)… A lot of the accounts I follow are just bots which mirror content from Twitter.
And that’s why i support the pedophile trillionaire. For memes and stuff
I know that I’m just one person, but I find it interesting how I’m always online but never using twitter, ever, for anything. I’m not even trying to avoid it. And yet, it’s so damn popular. I just hate the format.
I actually don’t like the format too much myself but ever since they raised the character limit it’s a bit better to follow
“noooo i can’t read corporate slop from government agencies and my favorite ragebaititng influencer news on Mastodon nooo, must read Xitter!!!”
noooo i can’t read anything at all worth talking about and no one is on mastodon, noooo must rage into my depressed people’s echo chamber
It’s still the best social media for anything worthwhile.
I was a fool for expecting a serious response 🤣
Ironically nextdoor is actually pretty active, but goddamn is it a toxic cesspool of fascism. I can’t even try on that platform anymore. I tried for a few months, and naw. I don’t like surrounding myself with willfull ignorance.
Never heard of that in my life. Not available in my country I guess
Gnome: GSpot. It doesn’t actually exist (GNOME devs though there was no use case for it)
2026version: copilot internet 365 just shortened to copilot after the next MBA is hired.
Seriously, all Windows software is starting to sound the same, with as little clue as possible as to what it actually does. Remote Desktop on Mac is called “Windows App”. What does that mean? Everything else is called 365.
It’s called Windows app on Windows now as well. But they also have remote desktop still, and they’re not intercompatible.
Microsoft truly are terrible at naming things. They always have been. Remember XBone?
At the same time, I liked .NET’s no-nonsense naming of namespaces. When I see something like
System.Threading.Tasks, I can immediately recognise that it’s a namespace that deals with task-based parallelism. Then you havetokioin Rust and I want to stab the person that came up with the name. Same forclapandserde. They mean nothing unless you already know what those packages do.Yeah except that it’s literally called .NET, pronounced dot net, they included a punctuation symbol in the name. Is it a programming language for the web, nope. So why’s it called that?
.NET is branding that Steve Ballmer came up with, and yes, it was originally meant to be a set of network and internet frameworks. The .NET Framework was an underlying interface that other .NET products would use. It was then superseded by .NET Core, which was later renamed to .NET.
You’re comparing system packages to user-provided packages.
User-provided packages need to have names that are easily searchable. If you named a package eg
threading, searching for$PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE threadingwould give you a ton of irrelevant resultsThe people making the programming language and related tooling seem to know what’s up.
The people making other various products all seem to want to be a super special naming boy.
