I only use it with Linux read by Gilbert Gottfried
You think that’s the worst?
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
Jarvis, kill this developer
It’s a literal loli snatcher. what did you think it was going to be named?
Hehe Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back 👍
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.
Its not an app, your file system wouldn’t work without it.
KDE FTW.
I can never find that program…
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.
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.
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.

Ah yes the ncm<TAB> program. Used to give my brain half a stroke trying to remember the full name.
You mean RCPSX3? Or 4, the scam?
What happened with 4? I didn’t even know it existed until just now.
It doesn’t exist. Well, PCSX4 doesn’t, RPCS4 was a private project some years ago:
RPCS4 was a private project being worked on by one of the original developers of RPCS3, DH. Little is known about the project at the time, but we do know that it was expected to run on Unix-likes and can boot PS4 games without graphics
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PlayStation_4_emulators footnote 2
PCSX4 was just malware/adware or similar if I recall correctly. It came into being long before PS4 emulation reached anything remotely resembling the concept of “playable”.
I hear you. The one that always gets me is PPSSPP. Every time I type it I miss out a letter and have to go back and fix it.
Somehow, I perfectly remember ncmpcpp (what does any of that even mean? something with C++ I guess?) but struggle with lighttpd (light+httd+daemon).
NCurses, Media Player Client, c Plus Plus
Is that a command to summon the cats? PPSSPP PPSSPP
I memorized it as “PSP, but doubled”
Don’t recall if it had a Linux port, but anyone remembers Nesticle?
Followed by the tastefully named Snesticle
seems easy to remember for me
dyslexia may be a factor
Yeah, its a fun one, but it does have a logical reason.
PSX was the codename for the PS1, and what the internet community latched on to, especially after the PS2 came out and there needed to be clarity on which they were referring to.
One of the early PSX PC emulators decided to name themselves PCSX as an amalgamation of PC and PSX.
PCSX2’s team wanted to make a PS2 emulator on par with/inspired by (and maybe forked off of?) the PS1 emulator and decided to continue the naming convention.
And now we have the dislexia-unfriendly PCSX2 name.
PC sex too. That’s how I read it.
I didn’t even know people read it. My eyes just glazed over the letters like it’s a picture lol.
ah dammit, that’s actually compelling reasoning! lmao
Then it should PCPSX or PSXPC, but the PCSX trips me up so hard. I hate it so much
Maybe, but it is meant as a portmanteau, and not just two abbreviations stuck together.
Like… if the National Aeronautics and Space Administration made a big light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation device, and decided to call it the NASER instead of NASALASER.
Y’all remember the PSX emu Bleem! ? You could buy it commercially as a physical disk from the shelves of a store? I have no idea how they got away with it but that seems unthinkable these days.
I feel like, based on the interface, they just took PCSX, swapped the splash screen, and somehow distributed it commercially, along with even running TV ads. They must’ve been sued into oblivion by Sony.
Personally, I wasn’t allowed to own a computer until well after Bleem! went out of business (from running out of money for legal defence against sony).
That being said, looking at wikipedia, Bleem! started first, so PCSX was the one that stole the look and feel of Bleem!

I keep searching “RPCS2” and wondering why it doesn’t show up
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.)
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.
Or a Trackpoint driver.
It’s my favorite app to play around with
Search results: klitoris not found.
Wetware feature.

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?”
Probably the correct location most people would use that app.
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.
One of my personal hobbies is doing that to Velcro
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
Yeah most space age material names are. It’s dacron wrapped in mylar surmounted in inconel plated in clyno and attached with velcro. Which of those did I make up?
I know that Mylar, Inconel and Velcro are real, so it’s a toss-up between Dacron and Clyno.
After consulting an online source, I vote that Clyno is the imposter.
Physical products - maybe, but it doesn’t seem to apply to software. And Apple is not the only offender in that (although I have to admit that they’re somewhat good at coming up with generic and yet recognisable names because of the context). Just try to think of a desktop or mobile OS that doesn’t bundle a default app with a generic name like Files, Mail, Internet and so on.
They’re not trying to trademark those. Others can call their default apps the same thing and it’s fine. Others can’t call their default in house browser chrome (unless they’re google).
