- gimp
- finger
- john the ripper
- libcaca
- toilet
- fsck

man
every Command Line Interface Tool
(not Linux but there are special printers for clothing called DTF's )
Don't forget fuck
I like how developers are not shying away from possibility of them having foot fetish (foot terminal, gnome logo being a foot)
The foot is actually symbolic for the devs stepping all over you with their opinionated design and no choices
Also, in Italian "sudo" means "I sweat".
sudo nano
means "I sweat, dwarf"
Man, I remember laughing like a school boy when I first heard of the "finger" util in college, lol.
Also finger \! && exit
KDE's tool to configure an IntelliPoint™ device.
Its called a cat-tongue. Everyone that refers to it as anything else is wrong
We need a command line interface named Toris. CLI Toris
I'm a dev. I develop little prototypes and things with Rust. I often create a new repository and don't give the project a name, until I've coded enough of it that I know where it's going.
A few years back, the makers of the programming language Rust started punishing people for prepending rust- before the names of their tools and apps. They recommended that people append -rs to the end.
The combination of these two things caused me to end up with a whole bunch of repositories named something like cli-rs or clitool-rs, both of which I'd just pronounce as clitoris.
Can't find the app guys. Where is it? Bruh. Help me someone, my girlfriend is coming home and I don't want to get mocked for the same thing two days in a row.
The most clearest description of file explorer: Dolphin (?)
Like if Nautilus is any better
Or, like, Total Commander. A wild guess would be some strategy game.
The application most likely to cause confusion among True Gamers™ who got fed up with Windows.
(PRO TIP: dolphin is the KDE file manager, dolphin-emu is what you really want. PRO TIP 2: To defeat the PulseAudio daemon, shoot at it until it dies)
Gnome: GSpot. It doesn't actually exist (GNOME devs though there was no use case for it)
I can never find that program...
KDE FTW.
I'm still amazed people use and browse the septic tank of the internet. Xitter just won't stop.
bash: klitoris: command not found...
:(
No, you should touch klitoris or finger klitoris, not bash it.
man klitoris
no manual entry for klitoris
Well that explains a lot.
i think PCSX2 is the maddest i’ve ever been over a name. i’ve been using it for YEARS and have to double check the spelling every single time i type it.
Is the GNOME version called Gock?
There's a very useful linux tool called "fuck". When you make a typo in a CLI command and get an error message, all you have to do is type "fuck" and it looks at your last command and the error message and takes a guess at fixing it. If it's right all you have to do is hit Enter.
2026version: copilot internet 365 just shortened to copilot after the next MBA is hired.
Seriously, all Windows software is starting to sound the same, with as little clue as possible as to what it actually does. Remote Desktop on Mac is called "Windows App". What does that mean? Everything else is called 365.
It's called Windows app on Windows now as well. But they also have remote desktop still, and they're not intercompatible.
Microsoft truly are terrible at naming things. They always have been. Remember XBone?
klitoris: Permission denied
Searched everywhere and can't find the download. Does anyone have a link for the latest klitoris? I can't locate it and my wife is getting pissed.
GNOME folks are like "well, before GNOME was even a thing, we had this application called The Gimp, and we kinda wish we didn't call it that, so please don't name your apps for laughs OK?"
You think that's the worst?

I'm kind of surprised that Apple didn't name the iPhone just "Phone".
