pkg_add estrogen

is I believe most appropriate.

[-] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I just add it to my nix config

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

Installed NixOS but don't like NixOS? Try nix-env -iA estrogen.

[-] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

That's meant to be injected.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 76 points 10 months ago

Good news ... it's a suppository!

Indiana waiting for Texas and Florida to ban it so it can do something more extreme but without any flak.

Now I got the Tivola jingle stuck in my head. My very first PC game was a Tivola game. It seems they really fell from grace in recent years when looking at their website today.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

I had a blast playing the Czech-localized version of Bioscopia until the CD got scratched and it started crashing. I was terrible at gaming (still am but can look up guides now) so I never got past the starting area and reception. Still, the interactive encyclopedia kept working and I went through most of it. I recently pirated a working English-language copy (developed by Tivola together with the German one, I think) and had a blast. It would still crash at later points but I was able to hack the required items in through the plaintext XML save file, as well as 99 credit on the keycard (not as interested in biology anymore) and finish the game.

Soul Reaver or Naruto?

Instructions unclear; unhinging jaw to consume ramen.

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 29 points 10 months ago

“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 17 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Bolt@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 30 points 10 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 10 months ago

ah yes, professional woman creation serum.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago
[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

Also made me think of progesterone.

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] paws@cyberpaws.lol 5 points 10 months ago

In my opinion, it ends in nova and the transition from prog to nova with the y is just 🤌

[-] stephfinitely@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I use both kinds of Debian ig. Planning to switch to Gentoo

[-] mariah@feddit.rocks 6 points 10 months ago

Damn it i hopped to fedora

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Free template in a dtp program?

[-] Pm_me_girl_dick@lemmyf.uk 3 points 10 months ago

Just making people aware of my presence...

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

does this mean that debian deletes estrogen? Or does it provide testosterone, the spiral is reversed, so surely that'll have some effect right?

Maybe this is one of those cases where the estrogen is just put in the package backwards.
