One of the weirder things i observe crawling trough life, is somehow, people seem to be of the impression that having a secure messaging app like Signal is suspicious', i see this as a sign of unprofessionality, seeing that snippets of source code and wise words whisper with sources free speech

But what do you call drivers for Win95? You can't call them Win95 drivers - that name didn't exist yet.

So they were tagged with the codename- chicago, and from that point on the name couldn't be changed. Because otherwise it would break all the drivers.
