kinda like how temp is bullying Tinfoil by locking its threads?
Not an expert on the matter, but how could such a common word be trademarked? And more importantly, what's there to trade in this case?Some information about the planned rename:
I won't end the name vote or rename Tinfoil until @blawar sends me a proper proof of the trademark.
Still waiting dude, show us that you really own Tinfoil.
Good point, I still don't get what is he planning to do or has he doneNot an expert on the matter, but how could such a common word be trademarked? And more importantly, what's there to trade in this case?
The guy took the name and refuses to publish source code so nobody knows whose code he is actually using. If I were a moderator I wouldn't allow any homebrew posts without a github link.
??? theres plenty of software on temp that doesnt have source code posted.
Yeah, and I wouldn't allow that if I made those decisions.

Alright, that's the first part of it.I can debunk your theory with one word: Apple
Alright, that's the first part of it.
Thanks! That really was a nice read, no sarcasm. Now I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread because it'll likely be derailed with source code debates.I can debunk the other half with this link:

CASuccSuggest your names for Tinfoil!
And please, read this below before asking anything.
As you may know, Adubbz gave me the main developer role on Tinfoil a while ago.
I decided to make it a nice Switch title manager and installer, and I'm still and will be working on that.
After @blawar decided to rename his project Tinfoil and supposedly trademarked the name, I think that the time has come. Time for renaming.
Honestly I've never liked the name "Tinfoil", but left it because the community likes it.
Now that this happened, this is a great excuse for renaming my project.
But I'm terrible for choosing names sometimes, so I've decided that the community should choose the actual name of the tool they will use (soonTM)
For those wondering what will it do, I'm mixing the concepts of NSPower and Tinfoil on this project.
If you are still wondering why I'm renaming the project, it's mainly because I've wanted to do this a while ago, and to avoid confusion after DZ got renamed.
I really dislike that it's developer renamed it, because of the reasons he has to do that.
Go ahead and suggest names here. The most liked name will be the chosen one!
Don't suggest a name if it's already posted, if you like an already posted name simply like the post!
The last thing I'd do is to forget and stop developing this project.
I guess that I'll wait for a few days before choosing a name. Remember, be creative!
