iirc sudo has a bunch of quotes to spit out when an incorrect password is typed. Gentoo exposes that feature with the offensive USE flag.
Argh, why tho?
Like, I get that it is sometimes fun to throw some humor and things like that, but it is just too much trouble. It looks unprofessional and makes translation more of a pain than it needs to be. And that isn’t even opening the can of worms that insults actually are
Often times, projects like this aren’t necessarily going for “professional” - its something the developer has made for themselves and is just being nice to share it and the source to the world.
Also, sometimes that sort of thing is directly related to making sure translations do actually work. While I doubt that was the case here, I remember seeing RedHat Linux for a while had a specific language option that changed the phrasing quite a bit (I believe it was in relation to how one of the devs on the team commonly spoke) and it was done to make sure that translations were working.
IIRC It was added because too many people had been hacking together such a feature in their configurations, more often than not compromising their security. They added the option to reduce the amount of damage such a stupid much-asked-for feature deals.
P.S.: Honestly, I have used the feature before. While it’s usually funny, it can be brutal from time to time.

Edit: alright, I got it. L for me
Then don’t use the feature lmfao
Stop complaining about developers having fun with software they’re providing you for free

people expecting “professional” out of one of the world’s largest hobby projects …
Because fun
Who gives a fuck about professionalism. This is software made by people for fun. Why don’t you try and have a lil fun

Are you complaining about this for free software when some software and platform thatcost around $44B (or $8/mo) are literal Nazi stinkholes?
You can turn it on in other distros using
