  • I think it makes a lot of sense to encourage unbranded words like “personalizer”, but I also think a specific tool needs a name.

    For deem, I think it would be delightful to have a name like “Peertube Owl Personalizer”.

    I personally like to not use a direct verb as a name, because it becomes more abstract than it needs to be. Therefore I have swapped the word “sight” with something that symbolizes sight, in this case the bird owl. One can also be more specific like eagleowl or elect another species with great sight such as the eagle.

    An extra benefit of electing natural life as names for your tools can be that it increases attention towards nature. Oppositely, you can elect a name that draws attention away from reality towards something unreal, such as fairytales, science fiction or pokemon, this would have the opposite effect.




  • I think I would have sought out anarchist communes and tailored my tool to their needs. If done well, I could have my needs met, lived comfortably and created tools that directly impacted my peers. I’d also be able to help out my commune in many other meaningful ways as well. The days would be filled with meaning instead of as a servent of the machine.
