    I think you’ll find naming things after mythological beings is incredibly popular globally.

      and yet even the non religious find it in bad taste

      calling your company Jesus in a small southern town would get you dirty looks at best

      still surprised palantir has not caused a law suit

      hell calling anything Mohhamed would start violence in many places

        I run Jesus in a cluster in my homelabs. Overall good software suite, but kind of resource intensive. Highly recommend a judus instance as well to help watch and kill Jesus instances before they cause an OOM.

        But overall best Wine in K8s suite out there /s

        People should stop getting so offended over a simple name. I’ve seen lots of “Jesus” in USA small business names. Especially in the Southwest, haha.

          how about we just dont use random names from other cultures, completely separate from their actual meaning

          i mean its not that big a deal to me but it is kinda lazy

          again the palantir example would be rage baiting though

            Well, I agree that they shouldn’t use this name. That’s not even a mermaid right? I have no problem with them using a Hawaiian mermaid name for a markdown mermaid app.

            I don’t agree with the name usage. Mustang is a Horse, isn’t should t be used outside of the equestrian scene? What about the white gods, I bet you’re fine using those.

            Pick your favorite:

            Nike, Hermes, Apollo, Zeus, Athena, Ares, Artemis, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Atlas, Titan, Triton, Eros, Helios, Hyperion, Pegasus, Pandora, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Hercules, Mercury, Achilles, Morpheus, Nemesis, Iris, Selene, Demeter, Prometheus, Kronos, Gaia, Pan, Echo, Nyx, Orion, Phoenix, Ajax, Argus, Olympus, Perseus, Medusa

            There’s an Orion web browser…. I’ll bet you’ve got some words for them.

              no it is a goddess as opposed to a mythical creature

              closer to the greek gods yea but far as i know no one practices that religion, regardless those are pretty lazy names as well
