I’m in a pile of excellent people opposed to the TESCREALists at this trying time in history. We need a name.
We have a list of possibles, but it’s actually hard to pick a nice name that doesn’t sound like an EA front group!
An initialism for S.N.E.E.R. probably won’t be the sort of thing we’re after lol.
What’s a name that’s (a) nice and polite sounding (b) says at least a bit what it actually is (c) doesn’t sound like an EA front group?
Stable Technology Initiative! Uhhh wait that’s not right…
Seriously though, something emphasizing stability would probably be quite effective, if overemphasizing the bad guys’ shitty software products in contrast to their destructive social attitudes. Stable Technology Society, Society for Stable Technology, Stable and Equitable Technology Society…
Software quality is already generally pretty terrible; heavyweight, buggy software is crammed into more places than it really needs to be; and people are going to have even worse experiences with shoddy technology in the years ahead. Emphasizing stable technology that just works and continues to do its job for years, or even a human lifetime, is pretty hard for the “move-fast-and-break-things” crowd to assail, especially as the bill for living in their world continues to come due.
