Sorry, I'm from Europe too, and I did feel in my skin, the Nazi ideology that remains, when working in Holland/The Netherlands for 2 years. If I read "ss" in a computer/programing context, I don't think about Nazis. The same that I love rainbows, and I'm not gay. People takes symbols as a totalitarian thing. We are free to skip their imposition and use things as we like. We are still free to do it. Really. We can appreciate the beauty of a rainbow after a rain/sun combination, and not impose our sexual unsolicited demonstrations to anyone because of it. It's just a nature thingy. We can say "ss" for a program that print sockets stats, and skip remembering Nazis. It's opensource, any skin tone can use, modify and redistribute, ss. We can do it, or, we can stick to bad memories, and name things just and only, as Israeli stuff. I didn't think about it, and probably the person that did name the program, neither. Anyway, I see your point, the name can bring negative sentiments to some persons which see the daemon in a piece of source code or in an acronym in unrelated context. |
