In fairness, Robert Anson Heinlein was known for having views, too, so you would have been tarred by association with a Heinleinism before now. Or by association with Eric S Raymond, also with views, for using the Hacker's Dictionary definition. (-:

I do wonder how many people who write TANSTAAFL instead of TINSTAAFL actually use "ain't no" in their everyday speech, or would actually criticize a double negative if it were someone else writing one.

El 4 de diciembre de 1957 nace Eric Raymond, uno de los más grandes exponentes y defensores del software libre. También es responsable del Jargon File (conocido como The New Hacker’s Dictionary). También es uno de los exponentes del código fuente de Netscape que luego se decantó por el proyecto Mozilla

Alas, it is the IT profession that is guilty the most of using such terminology, so it is no wonder that non-IT people adopt it too.

But the IT profession still goes around habitually calling things with no motors in them, "drives".

Moreover, making up bad slang names for things is so celebrated that people even venerate the Jargon File/Hackers' Dictionary.

I seem to have lost track of the relatively recent “non-toxic” (i.e., LGTBQ+ friendly, ESR-averse) version of the #JargonFile. Can someone point me to it?

I would say #LazyWeb, but I’ve already spent too long trying to track this down again.

@blacklight @DrHyde @tyil The #JargonFile started being passed around and accumulating entries through the 1970s at #Stanford, #MIT, #CarnegieMellon, Bolt Beranek and Newman, and other pre-Internet computing centers. Some terms date back to the late 1950s MIT Tech Model Railroad Club, a very early progenitor of #hacker culture.
