  • “I use Estrogen as my operating system,” I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. “Actually”, he says with a grin, "Estrogen is just the kernel. You use GNU+Estrogen!’ I don’t miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn’t include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It’s Estrogen, but it’s not GNU+Estrogen.

    The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If Testosterone was compiled With gcc, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long.”

    With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man’s life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I’ve womansplained him to death.








  • Everyone in this thread is approaching this as if OP explicitly mentioned that they were trying to distribute this material through ‘grey-legal’ pirate channels; all they said is their torrent is novel.

    So, OP, giving you the benefit of the doubt: (Or, alternatively, for those who stumble upon this post and may wish to archive “legal” data: )

    If you’re trying to sincerely archive something that you believe nobody else has access to, and you aren’t just blatantly posting copyrighted material, the Internet Archive will host links to your torrent(s), provided that they are verifiably sound. Even though it isn’t usually thought of as a place to find torrent files, the Archives have a lot of content available through both F2P and P2P, and if your torrent/file is related to other content already hosted there, it could be part of a collection, which would also increase visibility.

    If it is a piece of potentially lost media, please contact the Lost Media Wiki project (I believe they have a Discord), and they will be more than happy to help disseminate the content.
