I've discovered that currently, as of Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu distributes a package called "fortunes-off" that is full of homophobia, Hitler quotes, virulent misogyny, racism, and more, for the "fortunes" programAll the text in it is ROT13'd so it doesn't show up on searches. Text pulled from the .deb available live on Universe: https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/fortunes-off

These fortunes were originally part of the standard fortune package, to be printed with fortune -o, until this poor lady split them out and categorized them in 1995. It used to be easier to configure your computer to randomly print a swastika or passage from Mein Kampf on login. https://github.com/Distrotech/fortune-mod/blob/master/Offensive

@meena @atomicthumbs i dunno, but in the process of looking up my commit I found that someone took the time to document the history of when all their offensive fortunes were removedhttps://github.com/koitsu/fortune-mod-freebsd-classicmy favorite is the quote "Readers of the aforementioned mailing list post should read every single reply in the thread, as there is some factual and contextually relevant details pertaining to the intentions of said quotes."Just what I was looking for! Bullshit context that makes the quotes ok

@meena @atomicthumbs pretty sure that's a weirdo thinking "smart powerful men should take dumb, obedient women" is a laudable way to view life or something, idk
