I asked this as a comment on my previous post, but I still have some questions. 1: If ML stands for Mali and they’re not from Mali, then why would they represent a foreign country? 2: Since it’s not Mali, what does the ML stand for? If it’s a pair of letters, it represents a country or stands for two words. Machine Learning? McCartney Lennon? Mega Lemmy?

    Mali was chosen because the dev team has a lot of communists and ML is often used as a shorthand for Marxism-Leninism. Tangentially related: If you ever see a communists who is strangely enthusiastic about MultiLevelMarketing they are probably talking about Marxism-Leninism-Maoism when they say MLM.

    Sorry it took so long for somebody to answer.
