claude, cursor and codex in the gitignore for a slop trifecta!
It fits at least, Mermaid itself is slop now too.
I know some of those words
let me guess, creator isn’t even hawaiian
Or a footballer
nah i thought it was that at first but the icon is goddess pele
Are you Hawaiian, or are you being offended for a group of people who have not expressed being offended?
yes hawaiian
no im not that offended but i am genuinely curious
maybe if it was a palantir level evil company i’d be genuinely pissed
also this is like naming your company Jesus or Moses
I think you’ll find naming things after mythological beings is incredibly popular globally.
and yet even the non religious find it in bad taste
calling your company Jesus in a small southern town would get you dirty looks at best
still surprised palantir has not caused a law suit
hell calling anything Mohhamed would start violence in many places
I run Jesus in a cluster in my homelabs. Overall good software suite, but kind of resource intensive. Highly recommend a judus instance as well to help watch and kill Jesus instances before they cause an OOM.
But overall best Wine in K8s suite out there /s
haha awesome
there's a wine in k8s suite??
Maybe? But I was just writing a fictitious software post aping christian mythology. I went with WINE because of the myth of Jesus turning water into wine, and k8s because I like it
you are both really funny and very talented, where are you from? i wish to know you better
Midwest USA
How about you?
i am from Kentucky. i run a k3s cluster at unhelpful.observer, which my online friends use to play multiplayer dwarf fortress succession games on different days of the week
People should stop getting so offended over a simple name. I’ve seen lots of “Jesus” in USA small business names. Especially in the Southwest, haha.
how about we just dont use random names from other cultures, completely separate from their actual meaning
i mean its not that big a deal to me but it is kinda lazy
again the palantir example would be rage baiting though
Well, I agree that they shouldn’t use this name. That’s not even a mermaid right? I have no problem with them using a Hawaiian mermaid name for a markdown mermaid app.
I don’t agree with the name usage. Mustang is a Horse, isn’t should t be used outside of the equestrian scene? What about the white gods, I bet you’re fine using those.
Pick your favorite:
Nike, Hermes, Apollo, Zeus, Athena, Ares, Artemis, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Atlas, Titan, Triton, Eros, Helios, Hyperion, Pegasus, Pandora, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Hercules, Mercury, Achilles, Morpheus, Nemesis, Iris, Selene, Demeter, Prometheus, Kronos, Gaia, Pan, Echo, Nyx, Orion, Phoenix, Ajax, Argus, Olympus, Perseus, Medusa
There’s an Orion web browser…. I’ll bet you’ve got some words for them.
no it is a goddess as opposed to a mythical creature
closer to the greek gods yea but far as i know no one practices that religion, regardless those are pretty lazy names as well
