I know naming is hard, but in the open source and Linux world, things get strange sometimes.

> To manage the contents of GNOME Keyring, install Seahorse

I mean, obviously, right?

πŸ„πŸ§™πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ πŸ”‘ 🌊🐴

#Linux #GNOME #Keyring #Seahorse

Also, I'm very disappointed that there appears to be neither a garden gnome nor a seahorse emoji.

πŸ„πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ I do, however, adore "mushroom wizard" as an alternative description for a garden gnome.

🌊🐴 And these might as well be redefined into a new symbol in the future. It happened before. And that, my friends, is the beauty of Unicode.

@fell They should rename the Anaconda installer to be the Mushroom Installation Wizard instead.
@yo One day, someone will fork GNOME and we'll be stuck with the Mushroom Wizard Desktop.
@fell I think in the perl manpages there's a line that goes along the lines of 'if you continually fork without killing your children you will accumulate zombies'
@drV It's like this old classic. If anymore knows which book this is from, let me know.

@fell They did rename some of their programs though, to make them easier to find.

Epiphany is now simply named Web, for instance (though the binary is still named epiphany iirc).

@soulsource Now that just made things worse, because now it's also unsearchable.

They should just call it The GNOME Web Browserβ„’

I know, whichever way you do it, it's always wrong.

@fell I don't remember who originally said it, but there's this old quote:

There are two things that are difficult in computer science:
- Cache invalidation
- Naming things
- Off-by-one errors

@fell as much sense it makes to use something called "Chrome" to browse web pages, or "Whatsapp" to chat with someone I guess 🀷

@fell You'll be happy to hear they are planning to replace Seahorse with Key Rack.
