    I’ve been wondering where “kbin” came from. So it’s confirmed that the original Polish version is supposed to be named “rifle”?

      So I just stumbled upon one of ernest’s comments about it. Yes, the polish instance is a play on words referencing a rifle. however it seems the original “kbin” name actually stems from unix’s “sbin”.

      I guess in the end it ends up being a double reference?

        Oh so THAT’S why it’s stylized as “/kbin” on kbin.pub. And why the logo kinda looks like a folder. Interesting!

        That makes a lot of sense! I really like that reference and how the logo is stylized as a forward slash
