Oh man, this is a bit awkward all around.

Don’t really like any of the TW winners personally and two of the suggestions plus the kalpa winner are all ones that were part of a broader theme that didn’t get picked up by the other logos. The goal was to create something that is consistent across the board, but he results kinda point in a different direction.

I do like the Slowroll winner and the leap winner is a safe choice, too if course.

I also like LCP winner for the main logo and am generally in favour of a new logo. But all of the three other too contenders are basically just retreads of the OG logo, which can probably be read as no real desire by the broader community for a change.

I’m not even sure Taiwan makes that claim, but if they do then I’m fine with that.

They do. The official government line currently is that they have no need to formally declare independence (which might trigger a Chinese invasion) because they already are an independent country by most meaningful measures (which is true of course)

I had heard they view themselves as the legitimate government of a (unified) China.

That used to be the official position decades ago. But apart from a few old nationalistic farts maybe, nobody on Taiwan really holds that position anymore.

It will stop a lot of people from entering random commands they googled up though.

Even most of the Linux apps use Shazam or similar for the backend. Most everything you will find in that area has some proprietary components and I can imagine that being hard to avoid for something that has to interface with licensed content (the music)

“I don’t really have anything to hide, but you never know whether the government might act authoritarian at some point. So best to be safe and use privacy tools.”
