This is why I had to fork nipple.js years ago. A harmless joystick library with a “ha ha okay…” name.

Oh and another: I had an uncomfortable talk with IT when I tried to navigate to the TypeScript playground by visiting “tsplayground” which… was definitely not typescript.

Finally: I will type “pythong” maybe once a month into bash. I’m not sure what that says about me.

Sorry this is off topic now. Naming is hard… sometimes fun.

Don't forget about gnome's liboobs (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/liboobs).

Tales from the corporate firewall: Yesterday I couldn't access a website where "rechtsextremismus" (Right-wing extremism) was part of the URL. Obviously that URL contains sex and should therefore be blocked. -_-

Ha. Similarly a friend once told me that in days of yore she worked at a place where “postits” (as in, will you please order some more postits) was automatically transformed to “post*ts” in their intra-office chat system.

I hadn't heard of this; thanks! Also made me think of Jimmy Kimmel's Unnecessary Censorship bit.
