My weasel words alert is ringing.
For it not to "continue to be" a source of confusion, then it has to "stop" being a source of confusion. What makes you think it'll stop?
GNU screen won't stop being on millions of machines, nor will it suddenly stop being a popular tool.
I suggest a cute acronym, instead. How about "SSH", for "Screen SHaring"?
- vntok 7y agoThe HN crowd is not a representative sample of the market. People here on HN will hate for a day or two, then they will turn their anger and cynicism to another cause, therefore that name will stop being a source of confusion :) Seriously, a few days from now noone will complain anymore.
- scrollaway 7y agoThe HN crowd is a fairly representative sample of a significant portion of the product's potential users. Otherwise, this would not have been a Show HN.
- vntok 7y agoI don't understand how your second sentence logically follows the first. Where does the "significant" adjective come from?
- mrlala 7y agoNo it's not.. I am a developer but my god it seems that 90% of the people here are of the extreme privacy + low level programmers who think that any programmer outside of a phd in computer science isn't doing it right because they doing dissertation type work everytime they code. This is basically slashdot with a different color scheme..
