Do I have to enable backports for that package?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 23 points 5 months ago

It could become glitchy. Consider enabling Frontport as well.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

You guys don't run several updates in parallel on the same system??

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 8 points 5 months ago

Sounds dangerous, aren't you scared of catching the c standard library?

Where's ARM estrogen

[-] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 5 months ago

Asahi Estrogen™

[-] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

That's meant to be injected.

If it wasn't obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here's what the ~~Japanese~~ Chinese text along the top reads on each box:

Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.

Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.

so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke

edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 28 points 5 months ago

How do you identify it as Japanese? I see no hiragana or katakana, which is how I usually identify text as Japanese instead of Chinese.

[-] vistencluse@lemmy.world 34 points 5 months ago

You see, he knew because he is wrong and it is indeed Chinese

Lol I can tell you just used Google Lens or some shit and then proceeded to make it sound like you knew what you were talking about by assuming it was Japanese (it's not).

I suspected Debian users were soyboys and now I have the documents to prove it.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

They used to be soyboys but then they bought an ikea plushie.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 18 points 5 months ago

A specific IKEA plushie

“Progynova”.. that’s a really great name. Naming things is hard so I always appreciate a good name when I see one

[-] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 months ago

Could you elaborate on what makes the name a good one?

[-] Bolt@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I read it as pro-gyn-nova

  • Pro: as in professional/effective
  • Gyn: woman (from Proto-Indo-European *gwen), like in gynocology
  • Nova: new (in many romance languages)

It rolls off the tongue and encapsulates three important aspects. I'm sure there are other readings of it too.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago

I think it's more pro like the prefix meaning "for."

So it would roughly mean "for new woman"

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 5 months ago

ah yes, professional woman creation serum.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Also: -ova

Ah, other commenters beat me to saying what I was going to say regarding the semantics.

But also, it’s a unique artificially created word. Nobody is going to confuse it for anything else (granted, that might get murky with pharmaceuticals). It’s searchable with any piece of software that does simple string matching. Also, it isn’t itself a constituent of some other longer word, which helps with that kind of thing too.

The spelling of the word is also phonetically logical. Being a new artificially created word, they could’ve spelled it however they wanted, but they chose the spelling that reads how it sounds. Very few people are going to hear it spoken and misspell it if they’re typing it into some device.

Yeah.. that sums it up

There is a reason a lot of trans girls use Debian.
