When I originally announced this project I called it "das blinkenlights" and was quickly mobbed by a group of Germans on Reddit for misappropriating their culture (even though I was quoting The Jargon File). Normally I try to focus on cosmo corpo speak that couldn't possibly rub anyone the wrong way, which is why I like "blink" because blinking is something man has been doing for centuries, so as a word I feel that it really unites humanity rather than dividing it.
- echelon 3y agoMajor props on your work here! It's incredible. Who am I to bikeshed on your project and its name?
