# apt upgrade estrogen
yum estrogen
Do I have to enable backports for that package?
It could become glitchy. Consider enabling Frontport as well.
You guys don't run several updates in parallel on the same system??
Sounds dangerous, aren't you scared of catching the c standard library?
# man estrogen
Estrogen
AMD64
Where's ARM estrogen
Asahi Estrogen™
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.
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.
Yeah I got it completely wrong.

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).

On the right, a drug that takes estrogen.
What is Estrogen?

This is the funniest comment I’ve read all week.
Might explain the hysterics.
Performance enhancing drugs for tactical shooters/rhythm games.
A hormone in the human body that's typically present in higher concentrations in females than males. Often given as HRT to trans women and post-menopausal women.

I suspected Debian users were soyboys and now I have the documents to prove it.
They used to be soyboys but then they bought an ikea plushie.

“Progynova”.. that’s a really great name. Naming things is hard so I always appreciate a good name when I see one
Could you elaborate on what makes the name a good one?
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.
I think it's more pro like the prefix meaning "for."
So it would roughly mean "for new woman"
ah yes, professional woman creation serum.
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
