Re:Btop: A better modern alternative of htop with a gamified... by earthnail on Saturday November 08, 2025 @02:03PM (#45859045)
I see your point, but I think the anger comes from the fact that

1. the title was unneccessarily editorialized, 2. the word gamified is used wrong here, and 3. There was never any good reason to add the word gamified to the title, other than adding a buzzword.

The feedback people give is probably a bit harsh, but I find it understandable. If you don’t know what a term means, don’t use it - especially not if it’s completely unnecessary as in this case.

Agreed. Shouldn't have used the term without proper understanding as it gives a totally different meaning in hindsight. Sorry for that
