They are now evading the ban by rebranding the extension to "Fanny Theme": https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fanny.vsc-fanny-theme https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fanny.vs...
- preommr 2y agoIs this a troll name? Fanny is a faily well-known slang term[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny#In_slang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny#In_slang
- napolux 2y agoonly in UK IIRC
- iamkonstantin 2y agoMore like “only in the US it isn’t” :)
- floucky 2y agoIt was a popular name in France in the 90s ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- johnisgood 2y agoYeah, Fanni is still used in Hungary.
- somenameforme 2y agoMight be regional but fanny is definitely slang in the US as well, but very quaint/dated, meaning butt. Would generally be used in some sort of context like a grandma telling a kid, 'Get your fanny over here right this second!' It would never be offensive or used with sexual connotation. It's kind of like the equivalent of wiener.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoMany English speaking countries, I'm sure the US is more the exception than the rule in this case. Of course, 'git' is also an insult.
- esperent 2y agoGit is a fairly mild insult though, roughly equivalent to calling someone annoying. I'm sure at least a few of us have thought Git (the tool) to be aptly named, from time to time.
- phkahler 2y agoAnd here I thought it was redneck for "get" like that's where ya git yer code from.
- mmcnickle 2y agoLinus once quipped "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'."
- johnisgood 2y agoIs "fanny" an insult at all?
- staticfish 2y agoYes, in Britain it is, you fanny.
- johnisgood 2y agoDamn! That was fannier than I expected. Lmao.
- esperent 2y agoThat one is specifically British though. Or perhaps even just English, I can't imagine a Scottish person using it.
- kgwxd 2y ago35+ years ago, my friend insisted it meant the UK definition and, until now, every time I heard the word, I'd think of the time my, otherwise smarty-pants, friend didn't know what the most basic, least offensive, slang meant.
- memsom 2y agoIt's pretty mild, but still offensive in the UK. Your friend was right to believe that much. That everyone thinks it means that? No - the US uses it differently for a region of the body slightly less offensive. It's a bit like spunk, which is also fairly offensive in the UK, and fag, which despite having an offensive meaning in the US, is actually traditionally not offensive here, though the US meaning is known and sometimes used - it means "cigarette" here mostly, and "faggot" means something less offensive too (a bunch of sticks or a type of meatball like dish.)
- cratermoon 2y agoRemember when fanny packs were a thing?
- evgen 2y agoDid you mean a bum bag?
- olyjohn 2y agoBut people wore them on their front side didn't they? I don't remember people turning them around and preparing them on their butts
- memsom 2y agoNo, we didn't call them that. Bum bag was the name. Bum being about as profane as fanny in the US, and probably the same thing.

- stef25 2y agoCorrect, the author links to it from his github page https://github.com/equinusocio https://github.com/equinusocio
- darkwater 2y agoSo, this is pretty weird no? In his GH profile he links his website/portfolio https://astorinomattia.com/ https://astorinomattia.com/ which is actually his surname + name. It doesn't seem to be pretty smart and safe going rogue with such public exposure no? Unless it is a completely fake persona, of course.

- Sharparam 2y agoIt also links to his employer (https://lualtek.io https://lualtek.io). Maybe someone should let his employer know what their employee is up to :)
- account42 2y ago> Things destroyer. Hmmmmm.
- isidorn 2y agoThank you. We will security audit this extension today and take action if needed.
- _cenw 2y agoDidn't the author evade a ban? Isn't that enough reason to take this down?
- mattmaroon 2y agoThey could at least somewhat automate checks for that sort of thing.
- _cenw 2y agoYep, because there's already another one, our hex code merchant clearly has nothing better to do: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vira-theme.vsc-vira-theme&ssr=false#overview https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vira-the...
- mikeryan 2y agoIt's a new publisher https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/fanny https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/fanny If you dig into the code on GitHub [1] , you can see it's the same author as the Material Theme. But I'm not sure how the marketplace folks are supposed to track that. [1] https://github.com/fanny-theme/fanny-theme-support https://github.com/fanny-theme/fanny-theme-support
- _cenw 2y agoNext one: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vira-theme.vsc-vira-theme&ssr=false#overview https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vira-the...
