Only funny for anyone who hasn't been affected by one, or had friends or family who were.

Oh, lay off the holier-than-thou moral outrage. I bet you could mine for naming collisions in a space of three characters like this all day, or really all sorts of project names.

With two letters it gets even better. I was offered ss.com but passed, later I thought I should have taken it and turned it into a site documenting the atrocities committed by the SS and to strongly attack neo-nazis by showing them for what they are. Missed opportunity.
SS can just as easily be ss(8), Social Security, Secret Service (actually called USSS to deliberately avoid that), etc.

man 8 ss tells me it was written by Alexey Kuznetosv. I should strongly consider informing him of his trivialization of the NSDAP's atrocities.

holier-than-thou moral outrage? He or she is just expressing an opinion that happens to differ from yours.
