- effie 3y agoadjective (of an action or situation) likely to arouse or incur resentment or anger in others. "she'd put herself in an invidious position" synonyms: unpleasant undesirable ungrateful Pretty apt name, considering what the software does.
- marc_abonce 3y agoTIL that invidious is an actual English word. I always suspected that it was video related pun, something like "in-videos".
- shiroiuma 3y agoThe fact that the word also contains "vid" probably has something to do with why they picked that word for the project name, in addition to the actual meaning of the word.
- shiroiuma 3y ago>why it was named like an Imperial Star Destroyer What's wrong with that? The world would be better IMO if more software projects had names fitting of the ships of the Galactic Imperial Navy. Say what you want about the Empire's treatment of the many worlds under its control, but they're really good at things like naming ships as well as having good-looking starships and uniforms.
