It's wilder to accuse someone of naming the container version of the lima sandboxing software after a gulag.

These type of moral outrage comments take an extreme amount of effort to debunk compared to writing them.

1. There is no gulag called Colima, it doesn't exist.

2. There was a gulag near a river called Kolyma

3. The pronounciation and spelling of Kolyma and Colima are completely different, in fact Colima is an Aztec word

Colima stands for Containers on Lima. Lima stands for Linux Machines (a popular open-source utility used to launch Linux virtual machines on macOS).

> in fact Colima is an Aztec word

I was curious if the adjacent tool name (Lima) had anything to do with the capital of Peru, but I guess not.
