Why do people do this?

>>59120777
My computer username is a made-up name that is a completely normal-person name. It has confused a lot of people in my life.
>>
>>59120777
My name is Talon, it is a username in itself.
>>
>>59120777
How else am i supposed to do that? Use initials like the old Unix hackers?

What about ken then, unlike, say rms he's had his real name as a user from the start.

When I joined my current job, I tried all combinations of nice, short usernames, but they were all taken.

Eventually, I gave up and went with "god", which their signon tool accepted.

Right before I started, they emailed and said "..... your chosen username isn't available, please choose another".

My laptop username was my first name, but after a week of buying it I had to format it. It didn't let me use my previous username so I added my last name.

My school is also an ISP and provides internet to my dorm, then forces us to name connected routers and computers (not smartphones though) as PC-LASTNAME, ROUTER-LASTNAME, LAPTOP-LASTNAME.
Probably so that they can identify who browses what. Pretty fucking threatening desu, but they cut you off if you don't follow their rules.
At least HTTPS exists...
