Right, only took me almost twenty years too

RIGHT??

Here’s my moment!

I guess we’re one of the 1000.

The naming is one thing I legitimately like about the whole Linux/GNU/FOSS world.

Things are still named by nerds/enthusiasts who have some spark of joy and fun left in their hearts. Could you imagine a sanitized corporate software product released today with a name that directly refers to the established product it is meant to displace?

For example, things like GNU's Not Unix or my favorite remotely accessible text/terminal based email client I used around the turn of the century, PINE Is Not Elm.

Then you get fun second-order software names like GIMP, too.

It's all so preferable to the commercial software branding world where even though the visual presentation is extremely samey (everybody switching to the same popular boring fonts and removing logos/artwork), the actual brands are often made up silly words that are easy to get the domain name and the social handles for.

Be sure to follow BONTO! on all your favorite trillion dollar propaganda and surveillance platforms!
