It ships a file called
snark.pywhich is apparently used to name colors. Examples:(0, 85, 85, ‘liquid Nyquil’),
(85, 170, 170, ‘smurf blood’),
(255, 170, 170, ‘“nude” tights that only match Becky's skin’),
… Why would they include that. Fucking programmers man
iirc
sudohas a bunch of quotes to spit out when an incorrect password is typed. Gentoo exposes that feature with theoffensiveUSE flag.Edit: Looks like Pick is sourcing the weirder names from this site: https://glitch.com/~name-that-color

Like, I get that it is sometimes fun to throw some humor and things like that, but it is just too much trouble. It looks unprofessional and makes translation more of a pain than it needs to be. And that isn’t even opening the can of worms that insults actually are
Edit: alright, I got it. L for me
Then don’t use the feature lmfao
Stop complaining about developers having fun with software they’re providing you for free
It looks unprofessional
Often times, projects like this aren’t necessarily going for “professional” - its something the developer has made for themselves and is just being nice to share it and the source to the world.
Also, sometimes that sort of thing is directly related to making sure translations do actually work. While I doubt that was the case here, I remember seeing RedHat Linux for a while had a specific language option that changed the phrasing quite a bit (I believe it was in relation to how one of the devs on the team commonly spoke) and it was done to make sure that translations were working.
people expecting “professional” out of one of the world’s largest hobby projects …
why
Because fun
IIRC It was added because too many people had been hacking together such a feature in their configurations, more often than not compromising their security. They added the option to reduce the amount of damage such a stupid much-asked-for feature deals.
P.S.: Honestly, I have used the feature before. While it’s usually funny, it can be brutal from time to time.
Who gives a fuck about professionalism. This is software made by people for fun. Why don’t you try and have a lil fun
It looks unprofessional
Are you complaining about this for free software when some software and platform thatcost around $44B (or $8/mo) are literal Nazi stinkholes?
Because it’s mildly funny and hurts nobody?
Because it’s funny
I just read all of them, there’s a bunch of names doubled up on different colors, 5/10
Don’t like it? Fork it.
Yeah sure I’ll maintain a fork just over this and get it mainlined. Or they could just be normal lol
Honestly, I enjoy the humorous colour names.
It makes translation more of a headache than it needs to be.
so don’t translate that file
Honestly, a colour picker is the last piece of software you should be translating names for. Even everyday colour names don’t have a direct translation. The line between “blue” and “green” is very slightly different than the line between “bleu” and “vert”, and the same goes for any other two languages. If you’re serious about your colour picker accuracy and you want to localize to another language, it would actually be more correct to have a completely different set of colour values, rather than trying to translate them. (Though “Liquid Nyquil” may be perceived the same across languages. I haven’t seen any studies on that one)
The line between “blue” and “green”
Not if you ascribe to Woolseyism.
So let me get this straight, you want other people to work on a project that you yourself think is a hassle to maintain for free while also expecting the same level of professionalism of a 9to5 job?
It’s like we are in a big, nonstop Southpark episode.
such edge
Don’t do colours kids!
Edit: that came out kinda racist lol.
“References illicit drugs” lol
