Serious recommendation: I would not have R. Kelly anywhere on your project page.
If you’re trying to give a 30 second elevator pitch about what your project does, you should not have a name be a guy spending 30+ years in prison for child sexual abuse.
Ooooops, I didn't notice it on a first quick look. Yeah, I'm with you.
Where do you draw the boundary? Can I no longer enjoy watching space jam because it contains songs by R Kelley? A WiFi SSID which is a pun from a popular song seems pretty far removed from promoting or celebrating R Kelley.
I knew this comment was coming on HN.
The answer, as the other commenter suggested, is that I’m providing feedback for technical communication.
If your documentation or marketing materials are making me focus on unreadable font choices or poor color schemes, it’s not doing it’s job.
Similarly, if your marketing materials are making me think about a convicted sex offender instead of your project, they’re not doing their job.
You can enjoy whatever you want! Your parent comment provided PR advice, not a moral judgement on anyone who enjoys any piece of art made by unsavory people.
And to be honest, I think you too understand this, deep down
Agree. There are other puns possible for wifi:
“PrettyFlyForAWiFi”
all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. having a little fun spurs good work and vice versa.
Your definition of fun is scary
andor you are a coward. then again it's a scary time to be alive
