    I agree that the release name is highly disappointing to say the least.

    But I don’t get the thing about the nazi block chain. I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. Sorry in advance for my ignorance.

        Jesus fucking Christ. OK!

        Edit: To add to my reaction, it’s really shameful how difficult it is to rally behind anything these days in the IT world. Every time a business is mentioned, it seems everyone and their mother is some kind of fascist ass hole or a greedy corporate billionaire looking for any means to make an extra buck, including breaking the law and getting people assassinated.

        And the vast majority of the time, it’s a man. I honestly have a difficult time to find any man to look up to as a good example these days. There are very few.

        On the other hand, women and LGBTQ people have been really inspiring. I’ve found personal heroes among them.
