Sorry, I should’ve specified, it’s in Haskell. Idk where you tried running it.

My personal favorite acronym like that definitely goes to AROS (Amiga Research Operating System) that if I remember correctly had to - for legal reasons - change the name. Rather than come up with a completely new name, went with AROS Research Operating System.

Edit: name change was apparently to avoid any trademark issues with the Amiga name.

my favorite fact about Wine is that they could’ve named it Pine, Dine, Fine, Line, etc

It’s a cheeky play on “WINdows Emulator” as well as “WINE’s Is Not an Emulator”, but I think for both legal (trademark) and logistical (it really isn’t an emulator) reasons, you’ll never officially see that bit sanctioned

WINaE! It bugs me that it isn’t “Wine Is Not Emulation”

aradgus ,

WINE Is No Emulator

admin ,

My favorite software acronym is PINCE, the reverse engineering tool that’s similar to Cheat Engine in Winblols, that stands for PINCE Is Not Cheat Engine.

PenisDuckCuck9001 ,

Well looks like I finally found a cheat engine equivalent for Linux

AceSLS ,

Sadly not, Cheat Engine has a whole lot more features. PINCE is still very good though

My favorite is the scanning device interface driver protocol.

TWAIN

Technology Without An Interesting Name

I really wanted this to be true but according to Wikipedia that’s an unofficial backronym. :( Sorry to be Debbie Downer.
