Java Refactoring: Honest and Complete Names
#naming
Well, the zoo was forced to pick a terrible name for its newest member. 😠
I tell ya, democracy isn't all it's cracked up to be. 🥺 🗳️

@rae @moshimotsu @pthane After a long and tricky discussion with the team, we decided to go with the name LibreConnect 📱💻 It's simple, technical, and full of meaning - it reflects the idea of connecting devices without creating dependency, with a strong focus on privacy and control 🔐 It also brings LibreOffice to mind, which fits our philosophy: openness, transparency, freedom :heart_cyber:
Big thanks for all your suggestions :neocat_heart: Each one was considered and helped us look at the project from different angles. Even if it wasn't picked, it still shaped the app. Because open-source is not just about code - it's about community 💜

“Americans don’t patronize [INSERT YOUR IDEOLOGY HERE]!!!”
Another example of #devolution the #DEVO documentary talks about. Instead of evolving beyond the 1950s, #USA devolves to #McCarthyism again.
“The widespread and fast-moving #campaign of #naming-and-#shaming has already resulted in countless lost jobs, professional #suspensions and internal #investigations, exacerbating the already fraught tensions over the shooting that exist online.”

⚙️ Ah, the age-old battle of #naming tables! #Singular or plural? 🤔 Clearly, this #debate will revolutionize #database #management as we know it. 🙄 Meanwhile, real-world problems await while we ponder the cosmic implications of "user" vs. "users." 🌌

#1: Let's add a new feature

We miiiight just be converging (slowly, haltingly) on some kind of condensed approach to the issue of how #computer and #programming peeps deal with #naming and #symbolism because, uh...there's a lot to unpack here in terms of geeks appropriating powerful symbols, such as Pallas Athene, and then acting as if these symbols were now their own personal property.
That's a very computer-geek thing, grabbing for the spicy names early and first and thus making lots of money! Surely this is a "tradition" of #technology! No. No, it isn't. It's simply appropriation in a particularly nasty form, it was never a good idea in the first place (it's one of those grabby rapacious *settler* behaviors, if you know what I mean) and now it's fuelling the current wave of #fascism and it needs to stop. I have been fighting against this vast crime, ineptly perhaps. So have a lot of other cleverer persons.
I can't imagine it's going to be a pretty picture. Not at first, anyway.

I'm working with a small team on an app that aims to improve integration between computers and mobile devices 📱💻, with a strong focus on privacy, control, and transparency :heart_cyber:
We've been using the working name Pablo Connect. It's based on my pseudonym, and to me it makes sense. It's personal and honest :neocat_heart: But the team doesn't really like it :blobcatsadreach: They feel it's too casual or just not fitting for a wider audience. Maybe they're right.
So I'm asking here. We're looking for a name that's simple, original, and strong enough to carry the project forward :blobcatstrong: Something that reflects the idea of connecting devices and people without creating dependency 🌐 A name that doesn't sound like a corporate product, but also doesn't fade from memory after three seconds.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, or even just a word that comes to mind - feel free to share :sparkles_fiery: Sometimes one good word is enough to spark the right direction. Thank you! :blobcatadorable:

We went with the English translation of the original French name for our city (@littlehillschurch), but admittedly do have a water source in our logo...

Đặt tên con là "Thù Hận" - một phút bốc đồng của cha mẹ có thể khiến con buồn cả tuổi thơ. Câu chuyện về chàng trai được đổi tên đã làm dấy lên cuộc tranh cãi về việc đặt tên tiêu cực cho con cái.

I'm not a marketing specialist, but I think "Hazardous" is a bad name for the store selling electronics.
