@[email protected] @soulscircuit @[email protected] "what is the difference of pilet and consolo?
consolo was the project’s codename. moving forward, it will be known as pilet. this change reflects our commitment to appeal to a wider global audience."
I'm failing to see how "pilet" is any more or less appealing to a wider global audience than "consolo", am I missing something?
@bamboombibbitybop "consolo" is near the word "console" but in some languages it means "confort", but is also, and more importantly, a vulgarism for "dildo". So "pilet" (I guess as in "support for a structure") is much better for marketing.

@jt_rebelo @[email protected] @soulscircuit @[email protected] ah, thanks! that makes sense.
@bamboombibbitybop @[email protected] @soulscircuit @[email protected] consolo was too easy to pronounce and sounded like Han Solo.
see, any foss project needs a name that’s impossible to pronounce in English at first glance, so speakers of every other language won’t feel alienated, thus wider global appeal. /s
