Are you suggesting there is something wrong with any of these names:

  • gimp
  • finger
  • john the ripper
  • libcaca
  • toilet
  • fsck
[-] db2@lemmy.world 179 points 3 weeks ago

unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, umount, sleep

I like how developers are not shying away from possibility of them having foot fetish (foot terminal, gnome logo being a foot)

[-] vanillama@programming.dev 57 points 3 weeks ago

The foot is actually symbolic for the devs stepping all over you with their opinionated design and no choices

Also, in Italian "sudo" means "I sweat".

sudo nano

means "I sweat, dwarf"

Man, I remember laughing like a school boy when I first heard of the "finger" util in college, lol.

Also finger \! && exit

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

Ugh, "gimp"? Seriously?

And the name isn't great either.

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 11 points 3 weeks ago

You're right. And it would be so simple to just drop the G and make it Image Manipulation Program. They could even use the same impish logo!

KDE's tool to configure an IntelliPoint™ device.

Its called a cat-tongue. Everyone that refers to it as anything else is wrong

We need a command line interface named Toris. CLI Toris

[-] zen@lemmy.zip 33 points 3 weeks ago

I'm a dev. I develop little prototypes and things with Rust. I often create a new repository and don't give the project a name, until I've coded enough of it that I know where it's going.

A few years back, the makers of the programming language Rust started punishing people for prepending rust- before the names of their tools and apps. They recommended that people append -rs to the end.

The combination of these two things caused me to end up with a whole bunch of repositories named something like cli-rs or clitool-rs, both of which I'd just pronounce as clitoris.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 3 weeks ago

There really is no drama like programming language drama.

Can't find the app guys. Where is it? Bruh. Help me someone, my girlfriend is coming home and I don't want to get mocked for the same thing two days in a row.

Gnome: GSpot. It doesn't actually exist (GNOME devs though there was no use case for it)

I'm still amazed people use and browse the septic tank of the internet. Xitter just won't stop.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

I can never find that program...

[-] yuri@pawb.social 27 points 3 weeks ago

i think PCSX2 is the maddest i’ve ever been over a name. i’ve been using it for YEARS and have to double check the spelling every single time i type it.

[-] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago

Don't recall if it had a Linux port, but anyone remembers Nesticle?

RPCS3 is similarly awkward to read and spell.

And ncmpcpp, which makes sense as it's about 2 or 3 different forks from the original so the name got increasingly out of hand.

Is the GNOME version called Gock?

I would not be surprised if KDE already had "Klitoris"

klitoris: Permission denied

[-] Fnaargh@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago

You might wanna tell the guy who made it, cause I don't think he has yet.

[-] Toryu122@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 weeks ago

You think that's the worst?

Searched everywhere and can't find the download. Does anyone have a link for the latest klitoris? I can't locate it and my wife is getting pissed.

[-] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

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?"

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

I'm kind of surprised that Apple didn't name the iPhone just "Phone".

The kernel library for integrating telecommunications operations and their requirements into the system? I think there was a patch for that in my update manager last week.

(With thanks to Red Dwarf for providing a template for this one.)

[-] TerraRoot@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The Clit is legit

[-] Eh_I@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

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.
