odd name; shouldn't it be named after something that stealthily infiltrates fortresses?

Trojan Horse probably wouldn't make a very good name for a browser.

Since my grade-school mascot/team was "The Trojans" and my adopted hometown is firmly rooted in pre-Christian Greek culture and mythology, I am currently studying the Trojan War, and I may observe that "Trojan" is an extremely perspicacious brand-name for condoms, more than the average guy would expect.

which is exactly the problem, a condom is famous for stopping things getting through and we do the literal opposite.

Actually condoms are famous for being quite unreliable and failing.

People using them are often uninformed and inept, using them incorrectly and hastily.

This is exactly why they are distributed with gusto by certain services that profit from “surprise pregnancy”.

lolwtf, not expected a conspiracy I expected to see someone touting

Doesn't even make sense; clearly they have a non-zero preventative effect, so there would be no benefit from such a service[0] handing out condoms. It would be worse for them than doing nothing.

[0] I doubt a for-profit company just raking in dough from abortions exists, sounds like some dumbass Fox News bullshit, but admittedly, it is luckily not a space with which I am familiar lol

fellow contributor on this.

we thought of it the other way round: your automation is the fortress, and every bot-detector trying to fingerprint it is the siege.

also most good burglar names were taken on PyPI

in my defence, i did lobby hard for "GuyWhoWavesYouThroughTheGate"

"Doorman"

"Of course... Why didn't I think of that?"
