Just had to change my twitter password because my account was compromised. This seems to be happening a lot lately, wonder what's going on.

 

@Wormwitch is your email compromised too?

 

Not yet thankfully. It's always my twitter that's compromised.

 

If a ghost and a zombie from the same body fell in love would that be fucked up or what

 

why are so many linux programs named after foods? for example crouton, wine, grub

 

The penguins are hungry

 

(please, I need context)

 

All I can find is articles about Android names. :|

 

I found one about computer terminology in general. It just reinforced that most things are named from either jokes, continuations of the jokes, or random acronyms. I'd guess that the answer to @Technicality's question is that the programmers were hungry, or looking at the food in question. At least for the first one, after that it might have just been "We named the first one after food, why not continue the naming scheme?"

 

Spoiler: Copypasta

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
