    I named* my first self-built computer after him! Does this make that machine gay? They put chemicals in the bytes that turn the friggin’ hardware gay!

    *call me a weirdo but I do often name stuff like household appliances and my trees.

      My friend’s mom occasionally gives full names, like forename+surname and uses them as such

        I don’t go so far. Only my pets get a surname, and it’s the family’s surname. (Some of the household appliances have kind of melodramatic names though, specially if they break often. Like Solineuza, the washing machine.)

        Technically true, but as an admin with root priviledges, I can access system private keys and directly manage it’s identity, such that it’s choice is usually what I told it to want.

        Tangent, boy I cannot wait for neurolink to let Grok in my brain. I’m sure it will lead to lots of new ways of thinking for me. 🙃😶😶🙄
