If in Germany you find a wall writing with Führer on it, there is 100% only one thing it can mean. |

| ▲ | mahboi 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Italy really let fascists permanently own the Latin word for "leader"? That's pretty weak. Reminds me of the OK sign. In any case, this isn't graffiti in Italy, it's a terminal emulator. | | |

| ▲ | lapinot 15 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | There are several other mentions of this in other threads. Its entirely possible it is an oversight. Yet I would also not be entirely surprised if (at least for some people) it is a well-chosen subtle troll, given that there are people that would find such a thing funny in this space (= recent heavily LLM-driven wayland ricing, aka hyprland, omarchy, also neovim, etc). |
