It's sad that some distros refuse to package with -o option support anymore

  Somebody could clears throat get offended.

  I adopted the fortunes-it package on debian, after I think over 20 years of neglect. Debian ships the offensive fortunes in a separate .deb so it needs to be installed on purpose, and it's not recommended by the regular one. But it's there. I actually moved a bunch of stuff into the offensive section, or just removed them. Humour has changed a lot since the last time that package had been touched. Political jokes made little sense, talking about stuff that happened when I was a child and didn't really follow politics. I was sad that some offensive cowsay ascii arts were removed, but I won't pick that fight so I just got them from the archive and made a .deb that I manually install on my own machines.

    >or just removed them. How does it feel... to go through fortunes and decide what's OK for other people worldwide to see or not.

      I'm quite sure that 99% of the people who install fortunes-it are in fact concentrated into a particular country and not evenly spread worldwide.
