Pion is already the name of a very well established webrtc project: https://github.com/pion/webrtc

It's also a particle and a self-propelled gun. There's a limited number of short legible words.

I chose the name because of the particle.

I sent a letter to the Soviet Union asking if they were ok with me using the name, never heard back!

Please tell me you actually did this!

I am waiting for my trillion dollar offer to buy https://pion.ly !

Then I am all done fixing WebRTC bugs for life :')

Yet another example of intellectual property maximization in action. Hacker News / Reddit style communities are very intellectual-property focused. It’s quite interesting to see. Back when I was young, communities like this were anti-IP.

Now most such forums are very pro IP with a maximalist view of copyright and, in this case, trademark. Fascinating to see this shift happen.

I mean AI will take our jobs first, so we're actively engaging in Luddism and are somewhat biased towards the legal instruments that could help to stop progress and save our high paying jobs to ourselves at the expense of the rest of the society.

I do love seeing my friend greg here

I was just talking about you in another thread!! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49690457

100%, this is unfortunately what I've found, the vast majority of cables I've purchased so far are not genuine silicone

So happy you enjoyed it, it was a blast to build it together with the community and see what everyone has made with it, there are now over 100 games on it!

My time at RC has genuinely changed my life. I joined my first batch expecting to dust some rust off after being in management at my last gig, and found a community I will cherish for the rest of my life!

If you looking for community in tech I can't think of a better place.

To 15 more!
