Trisquel Name (Terminology )

I don't wear those (because of human's and particularly children's exploitation) and now I've got another reason not to use it and to promote not to use it within religious circles. Thank you.

Your analogy is just pointing to another problem with another brand, that is off-topic. Are you a believer to the one and only God of the bible or of the Quran (that is the same God even though the prescriptions on those different books doesn't match)? If no, you are just not concerned by this discussion and trying to makes us ignore this topic is just an attempt to interfere in something that is not of your concern.

Now, of course, you are concerned, as a Trisquel user, on the choice Trisquel would make about it and of course, your opinion on that is welcome.

I have my understanding and know what is right...

But the thing was that using name of Religious Personalities in any product whatever Nike or whatever but some people avoid to use really if you research on internet and see the taught of Muslims for Nike also...

it was just suggestion that belief is our other side and product should be excluded from that names so all types of people use that product without concerning with peacefully....

Hope my words are now understandable more :)

>"I very much doubt Trisquel developers (or anybody actually) believe in Celtic gods."

Other than some later Greek and Roman reports on some of the names of Celtic gods, it appears we know almost nothing about actual ancient Celtic religious practices. A lot of what has been written about druids and so forth in modern times has probably been anthropological guess-work, or simply works of historical fiction passed off as fact. We have just a few passing references to them from observers such as Julius Caesar.

Yes,

but using these distributions is permissible in Islam and other Religions as soon as they do not force us to do anything impermissible.

Example 1: if we go to Christian School where teachers taught student the subject of their God but we attend our classes and our beleive are different so that doesn't matter.

Likewise if we use distro and our Faith and Beleive isn't in celtic gods so that is same and we are not doing any harm.

but this point every Muslim and every person can't understand easily and everyone has their own intellect.

so I prefer to avoid using names of these type on products so all peoples can use without thinking and wasting time on these.

are you understanding my point of view.

otherwise why I was using this distro from a Year I am not much concerned I take this thing lightly but my fellows still using UBUNTU just because this slight mistake of dev of Trisquel.

As an accepted Cthulhu cultist myself, I also find these so-called Celtic deities not to be worth half a one-bit post. So weak. We Satanists pursue fully coherent ethics: if it is weak or gitignore, ignore or eat, if it is powerful or a dangling pointer, destroy and eat.

That's dialectics.

"You've murdered my cat. I'll kill you!"

That's causality.

There are some neo-pagan cults and some of those are based on “Druidic” believes (whatever they are accurate or not), so, there's right now a religion using this symbolism and believing to the gods that gave name to some of trisquel's releases.

In French, only a part of the days of the week are named after ancient gods, “dimanche” and “lundi” just respectfully refer to the sun and the moon and not to any god related to it and “samedi” directly derives from “שַׁבָּת”, the last day of Hebrew's week that is the day of rest.

By the way, I might sometimes been squeamish (and of course I want to rename the days of the week, I already thought about something like: “undi”, “deudi”, “troidi”, “quatredi”, “cinquedi”, “sixedi” and keeping samedi).

Naming things of the creation has a huge importance in the book of genesis, so, words have some power, it's just theological interpretation but it looks like that one is prominent in the Jewish religious communities. Moreover, does “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.” reminds you something? Maybe not in Greek, but you certainly know some of it's translation, most important in that “λόγος” is often translated with a capital initial letter: “Word”.
Now, even though Celtic's religion disappeared, nu-pagan's “Druidism” does exist and is a huge thing in European nu-paganism, and it's quite possible that whoever is responsible for trisquel naming is into this kind of believes.

I couldn't agree more. It should have been : "You've murdered my cat, let's eat it!"

That's dialectics, again, not dumb causality.

Trisquel (the triskelion) does not represent trinity, it represent three bent human legs and though it has been used in different contexts, it's mostly tied to the so called “Druidic” religion that is polytheist and not Trinitarian.

I understand your friend that stopped using Trisquel because of this (though I don't understand his choice to use Ubuntu while it's certainly the worst choice concerning freedom).

And yes, I understand more your point now.

Who are you to tell people what they need?
I do not recognise you any authority on that!

I did the same indeed, but that's hard to rebrand all, I did only a very little bit. Maybe there are some scripts for that, I don't know.
I used a graphical representation of the word “computer” in Francophone Belgian Sign Language (as I was learning it) to use as a logotype.

But yes I understand that this is open source in free in freedom point of view so obviously we can make whole project from using this.

but this way so obviously there is a chance to change instances and other things locally and it's time consuming I was looking for a solution for every person who even do not having programming or any skills but concerned due to their Religions Obligations and want to fix that issue so that would be appreciate if Trisquel team understand and take some good steps.

Because I see many distro they are out of box from Religions or any Diety names of any particular Religion if we are using some softwares we're participating with them with their branding it this thing is very discouraging and disappointed.

I think I made my point of view in very easy words...:)

here I am not saying that we should not respect peoples from different Religion or background all we're brothers in the means of Humanity...

See verses of our Holy Quran

“Allah does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you due to your faith or driven you out of your homes. Allah loves those who deal justly. Allah only forbids you from those people that fought you because of your faith, drove you out of your homes and helped in your expulsion, that you take them as intimate associates. And whosoever takes them as intimate associates, then it is they who are the wrongdoers.” [al-Quran, 60:8-9]

But when we are bound to use other peoples software with their God or anything which we do not Worship so that is not permissible and make some issues in this case.

Correct me If I am wrong

Thank you

The 'naming schema' is apparently not going to change.

You can live with it, 'rebrand' for yourself (as well as others) as suggested or use another distribution. Why is that so difficult to accept? Time to move on.

A rebranded version might be done and downloadable, all we need is motivated people to do that and find a host to do that. If I'm not alone, I would be please to participate to such a project.

I didn't even read all, could you please accept that not every body do think like you do and that you will not impose your opinion? If you close yourself to other's opinion, discussion is useless, so, please, don't say anything if you can't accept that others have another opinion then yours because such intervention is just useless. It looks like all you want is pressurise people not thinking like you.
Really, I'm sick of this disrespectful attitude that some people have in this discussion.
