    No way. I. was thinking of building raspberry pi reader, but didn't think about postmarketOS running on any reader. Cool.

    Plus, why is it systemE, not systemM, or rather systemM{50}? That's a major flaw in design.

    Immortality and everlasting youth are the stuff of myths https://m.slashdot.org/story/386776

    "Our findings support the theory that, rather than slowing down death, more people are living much longer due to a reduction in mortality at younger ages." said Jose Manuel Aburto. Aburto suggests that biological, rather than environmental factors, ultimately control longevity.

    Few thoughts.

    Security through obscurity, perhaps?

    Publishing the source takes energy too and they just don't bother?

    Or they want to show how unique the app is and if it's OSS, anyone can rebrand it and destroy the uniqueness.

    The feeling when you don't get it not because of the MongoDB, but because you don't know Snapchat 😁.

    git https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(slang)

    1. An offensive word meaning *unpleasant, silly, incompetent, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person*. 2. Surprisingly, it is also a personal pronoun in Old English 😁 (though spelled ġit)

    Well, according to Wikipedia the point is that the two non-existent words hurd, hird sounds the same as herd in English. Hurd represents Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons and hird stands for Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth.

    So all three refer to a group of antelopes replacing UNIX.

    EDIT: as to your question, I think they tried really hard to have the most complicated name. I can't think of anyone beating them.

    Lineage a.k.a. Lineage OS https://lineageos.org/about/

    This one's easy. Lineage is ancestry, just like Lineage OS comes from CyanogenMod.
