Source? I haven't heard anything about this.

https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git

current release is "rape gang inquiry".

i don't know how or why releases get named by the project and have no idea about the blog chain stuff.

I agree that the release name is highly disappointing to say the least.

But I don't get the thing about the nazi block chain. I really don't understand what you're talking about. Sorry in advance for my ignorance.

Second sentence of the release page: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2026-06/msg00000.html

It is available for download at: lbry://GnuParallel:4

  • called for governors taking measures against COVID spread to be tortured in Guantanamo Bay
  • stated that he wanted "less democracy,"
  • campaigned multiple times for child labor to be legalised
  • posted on X that "Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.
  • has criticized the end of apartheid in South Africa

Jesus fucking Christ. OK!

Edit: To add to my reaction, it's really shameful how difficult it is to rally behind anything these days in the IT world. Every time a business is mentioned, it seems everyone and their mother is some kind of fascist ass hole or a greedy corporate billionaire looking for any means to make an extra buck, including breaking the law and getting people assassinated.

And the vast majority of the time, it's a man. I honestly have a difficult time to find any man to look up to as a good example these days. There are very few.

On the other hand, women and LGBTQ people have been really inspiring. I've found personal heroes among them.
