@Conan_Kudo butn but .. it does *connect* openid, right, right ? ... /me runs fast ... #naming-is-hard #confusion
There is no doubt one of the most difficult things on software engineering is naming things, 30% of my Gen-AI prompts end with "give me a list of 10 options/names/titles for ..."

Want american Democrats to ACTUALLY DO something already?
(Update: https://indivisible.org/ )
Consider Direct Action instead!
But as well as that, we *do* need a non-corrupt (yet! there's always time, ofc) replacement party that is ACTUALLY left-wing.
Tea Party and MAGA supporters did it. Don't follow their strategies completely, but DO LEARN FROM them.
We all deserve better -- even the Leopards Eating People's Faces party.
How many of them would have supported having their faces eaten if they KNEW it wasn't hyperbole or something?
Or if they took time to imagine and plan for the risks: their or loved ones' faces being eaten by leopards?

Now we just need a name and bunch of furries to advise how to protect our information technologies.

Prompt and Push. No one more than anyone. Punch Fascists. Tolerate No Intolerance. Ideal Outcomes.
These all feel like mottos or mission statements more than names, but eh. Hopefully this inspires someone. -- oh my god:
NOT DEM.
Varied Mountain Climbers?

back when Blizzard censored an eSports player for mentioning or holding a flag or something?

I love #naming stuff.
#GulfOfMexico or #GulfOfAmerica? Competitive renaming of seawater is actually already a thing in #geopolitics: See Arabian / #PersianGulf, #SeaOfJapan / #EastSea, #SouthChinaSea / #WestPhilippineSea. But it implies the country doing the renaming feels threatened by equal or more powerful neighbor.

Little IT naming protip:
Do not use relative project version names like "next", "tng", "legacy", "old". It _will_ eventually confuse people as newcomers won't know if "`old` was before `next`, but that was also before `classic`". It _will_ eventually lose meaning as you release `next-next` and `next-next-next`.
Do use absolute project version names. 1, 2, 3, ... At best irrespective to what new-ism marketing department came with. They want project rebrand? Fine, but we're now on Foo-4.3. So the next one will be Bar-5.0.
Great software, likewise, requires a fanatical devotion to beauty. If you look inside good software, you find that parts no one is ever supposed to see are beautiful too. I'm not claiming I write great software, but I know that when it comes to code I behave in a way that would make me eligible for prescription drugs if I approached everyday life the same way. It drives me crazy to see code that's badly indented, or that uses ugly variable names.

It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter.

Hmm, on one hand I'm a big fan of coming up with original names for software instead of naming it after some existing thing which then gets poisoned forever on search engines.
On the other hand it's been the third time now when I could not remember what the fuck my new music player was called.
