I only know the Ansible as the intergalactic communication system from Ursula K Le Guins novels, so this comment is too cool to me.
That's almost certainly where it came from. This might be hard to believe, but Linux devs are often huge nerds.
Oh I’m sure, that word isn’t used for a lot of other things. It’s neat how much anarchist and socialist lore is hidden inside of FOOS and Linux tech terminology, including the word Ansible. So refreshing compared to closed source devs unironically naming their products after murderous AI or what have you.
unheard of.
Impossible.
I know it from the Ender's Game series, personally.
Ansible was indeed used by Orson Scott Card in his Ender’s series, about 20 or so years after it was first coined by Le Guin. Funny to think of someone reading such good novels as Ursula’s and still coming out of it a bigoted asshole.
