So... I actually tinker around in Godot.

Whilst looking around to see if anyone had, or was developing an extension I would find useful...

I discovered 'Redot'.

Basically, there is a small but very vocal group of people who are very, very angry that a Godot community manager made some pro LGBT, inclusive twitter posts, turned that into a culture war flare up on twitter...

And then forked Godot.

To make the anti-woke version of Godot.

Their youtube channel has, as best I can tell, absolutely no descriptions of any substantial differences from... you know, an actual game engine feature set perspective.

Beyond of course being behind Godot now, lol.

What they do have is a bunch of rants about politics and edrama for their 'non-political' game engine.

Also... they pronounce Redot as Re-Dot, hard t.

Godot is Godot as in Waiting for Godot.

Go - Dough. God - Oh.

The t is silent.

... of course these idiots are literally uncultured and have never read the screenplay or seen the stage play, so they have no idea how to pronounce the word.

Could have gone with Re - Do, or Re - Dough, those would have been closer, the first at least an obvious allusion to them being a Godot fork.

But no. Re Dot.

Go - Dough. God - Oh.

Or even "g'dough", either way the T is always silent.

Most of the folks I've heard making tutorials about it pronounce it "guhDOUGH." To get that FOSS cred the name has to be a dumpster fire.

Ubuntu.

Oo boon too?

Oo bun too?

Pretty sure the correct pronunciation is the first, but a lot of people say it as the second.

... lets just name the next big FOSS thing 'Uranus' and watch everyone disagree about how to pronounce that, very loudly.

I use openSUSE, and they made a music video and everything to teach people to pronounce it yet people still get it wrong. Such is life I guess.

I most often hear it pronounced you-bun-too.

But it is oo-boon-too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Dang, I can't say I've ever heard You Bun Too... thats new to me!

There's an Arduino-based CNC controller firmware called GRBL. Gurble? Gerbil? Garble? GeeArrBeeElle? GuhRuhBuhLuh?
