It’s just “Copilot” for everything in Windows these days
Well, if Apple is getting a new CEO then Microsoft should go all in and hire Xzibit to sell copilot.
When foss Cockpilot??
(Cooperative Open-source Communications & Key Processes Integration for Lean Operations Technology)
be the change you wanna see in this world
There should be a torrent client with Copirate.
Missed opportunity for the search input placeholder to say “Search for Copilot”
Imagine a screenshot where someone is chatting with copilot, asking it to help them find copilot and copilot replies with frustration that the user needs to be more specific.
Alternate answer: just click any icon.
Rename them all Cock___ and put them in the cockpit.
Just found out that the Gimp alternative “Pinta” shares its name with a rare human skin disease caused by infection with the spirochete treponema carateum (apparently). Which of course is miles better than to be named after a slur for disabled people, but still not the best SSO.
Thats also the spanish word for a pint!🍻
And a finnish word for surface or coating.

Also The GIMP is not named after a slur, don’t be ridiculous.
Things don’t have to be named after things to sound offensive to people if they have phonetically the same name.
That’s true but it’s also not really worth very much.
I’ve never heard gimp used that eay luckily, only the sexual slave fetish thing.
Pinta is more of a paint.NET alternative than a gimp alternative
Which of course is miles better than to be named after a slur for disabled people, but still not the best SSO.
Huh? Which software?
Unfortunately GNU Image Manipulation Program, when shortened to its 4-letter acronym and common name, is also a slur against people with disabilities.
The developers didn’t name it after the slur on purpose, but they also refuse to change it for some reason :/
Because it’s not commonly used that way. If we avoided anything that had at some time been used as a slur, we’d only have about 3 names to pick from. (Of course I exaggerate, but it’s better than saying “it would retard growth”, isn’t it?)
Should have at least been GNUIMP. Maybe people would have used it.
Why not just GIP Gnu Image Program? Manipulation is honestly kind of a given.
yeah that’s way cleaner. Student me would have used it just to not be using photoshop or ms paint
I always thought it was named after the character from Sex
Is that a movie called Sex? Pretty sure the developers didn’t know about that either
Yes, a whole franchise actually. Very popular online. Many of the films star the Gimp
Gimp is a slur apparently
It’s something you might have called someone with a physical disability on the school yard in the 90s but I have not heard anyone use it in that way in a long long time
I’ve never seen it used as well, hence the “apparently”.
Even wiktionary lists this as Etymology 2 with little explanations
The Linux one isn’t realistic, this is not an ancronym.
Just like WINE!
Technically a backronym

Most devs cant find it.
It’s in the middle of the Thinkpad keyboard
In that case my came off.
I think you might want to get that checked out
Devs can’t find it, blue team always find it too late, and the pen testers know all about it and aren’t sharing.
The first K would stand for KLITORIS.
More like Linux: “Kritoris” which achtually is a 2500 year old greek symbol for harvest tools.
Linux devs would name something “Klitoris” literally just so the project website could say “you’ve finally found what you’re looking for”
man klitoriscat klitoris 😻
this incident will be reported
Apple: someFancyName4
Microsoft: Task Doing-er 5
Linux: some cute animal
Apple would use a minimalist and confusing name like: Task
It is so hard to troubleshoot issues with Photos. Why did they ditch iPhoto.
Linux: some cute animal except spelled awkwardly. Quomodo. Ekidnah. Magpye. Blootoona
Me: These are unironically good names
apt moo
who up rn doing they task
Is this just a reference to The GIMP or are there other common apps with dodgy names? I’m struggling to think of any.
Git
The app starting with K is probably a nod to how KDE names many of their projects something that starts with K. (Konsole, Kate, Kdenlive, Krita).
The litoris part probably refers to how linux apps often name things after random weird stuff, e.g. gimp, but it’s not always genital/sexual related I guess.
Latex and that one other thing which I forgot
Latex is just a kind of rubber, and a material produced by some plants used for making rubber. Sure, if you’re not careful when googling, you can get dodgy results with “latex” in the terms, but that seems to me to be of a different calibre.
LaTeX is the #1 Material used in fetish clothes. Its pretty much the only use for it.
I’m sorry what? What about:
- Shoes
- Gloves
- Tyres
- Elastic bands
- Balloons
All of these are made (partly) from natural (i.e. latex) rubber.
Yes I’m dumb, I didn’t express myself well. I meant to say that its the most prominent use for it.
Hmm, fair enough but I would say latex gloves and latex condoms are equally prominent (the latter obviously not helpful as far as avoiding dodgy results on Google)
I suppose, maybe im indoctrinated, when somebody says Latex i think of fashion.

On Linux it’s klitoris, forked to CLItoris, then open-clit, then freeclit then onepiece
GNUtori(ou)s Clit
Some people definitely rewrote it as μCLIt and BSDclit for size/licensing reasons
And then there will be endless discussions if it should be pronounced uclit or microclit
mμclit
muclit!
grep grep grep grep grep grep grep grep grep
Should have called it grape

Linux geeks, tell me what dog does “dog -al”
i love Linux
Windows names sound like a boss fight, Linux names sound like a typo that stuck 😭
Gotta love FOSS, gotta love klitoris.
klitoris is stealing all my money
Looks like it might be a Windows command line tool this time
If it was written in python it’s PyMagpie. Qt? QtPie. Rust? IThinkImSecureBecauseTheLanguageIUseButTheresMoreToItThanIUnderstandPie JavaScript? IStealAllYourRAMAndaiDontCarePie.
If it was written in python it’s PyMagpie
Wouldn’t it be MagPy?
IThinkImSecureBecauseTheLanguageIUseButTheresMoreToItThanIUnderstandPie
what is this nuance doing here?
No it’s magpiers
