Remember when “Fedora × Raspberry Pi” was blessed “Pidora”, to much amusement of their Russian-speaking userbase? There were also calls for renaming, but apparently they kept the name.
- Sebb767 6y agoWhat's the problem with Pidora in Russian?
- ilammy 6y agoEverybody will read it as «пидора» which is highly obscene swearword for [a certain F word HN doesn't allow to utter]. You can't even write that with a straight face, let alone speak it out loud, definitely banned for use in mass-media in transliterated/vocal form. But not many on the internet were offended by the name or anything. Quite the contrary, people thought it's a funny name and makes good marketing.
