Forky

#1 Post by CwF »

It has come to my attention there is a Toy Story 4 with a new character "Forky".
That can't be a good omen.

Maybe one of the distros based on Debian should use it. :lol:

Why bad? If a project like youtube-dl dies, often a fork can revive it.

I try to be a positive Debian promoter and advocate, but I have used the term spork with a negative connotation for years. Forky is very much my honest view of Linux, a gussied up spork.

Of note, I've carried a titanium spork for a very long time, long story. Someday I'd like to see Debian be a full formal set - no sporks.
