With this devs luck, awww will be co-opted next. Good on them for recognising the mistake and fixing it.

Oh man I could totally see myself doing something like this. Poor guy.

It’s not a nazi “reference” if the author didn’t know, then it’s a coincidence. It does suck that nazis have ruined otherwise great things though, Tesla for example.

So how long until Lunduke does a video about how this software has GoNe WoKe?

Also moved to codeberg in the process. Bonus

How wholesome! I also appreciate the move to Codeberg. Don’t forget that Codeberg runs on donations. Please help if you can.

Btw, as a cool gui for setting your wallpaper there's waypaper

A happy ending!

Now if only the GIMP maintainers would come to their senses.

Edit: corrected "it" to "if".

I don't think you should let Nazi's win the war of language.

Awww 💜

Can someone explain?

Fair reason to rename the project, but isn't it reasonable to consider it already too tainted by historic association and requiring a delisting instead?

he gave me the wise advice that perhaps I should choose a name I love, rather than one I won't be ashamed of

awww.

A thoughtful and reasonable explanation, I hope the new name serves the project well ☺️

Perfect reaction to a stupid mistake. And you made me discover the project, thanks 😁

People were less sensitive about such names back before Nazism came back from its supposed extinction. The record shop in the book/movie High Fidelity was named Vinyl Solution, and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any subplot about the owner either having Nazi sympathies (because what remotely sane person would stan a bunch of vanquished monsters?) or having made a terrible mistake (because nobody would make the, in retrospect quite obvious, leap, as everyone knows Nazis are extinct).

A cautionary tale for the ages about the dangers of naming something that sounds cool without looking it up.

Now excuse me, I need to go back to working on my startup, White Grand Dragon LLC.

What an absolute lad. 💖

Good on the dude and good on them for reaching out to someone for advice who in turn provided fantastic advice. AND they moved the project to codeberg. win-win all around.

Good decision. Sounds like a decent human being!

If more people owned their fuckups like this, the world would be a better place.
