I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as content, is in fact, GNU/content, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus content. Content is not a medium unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full universe as defined by FUNHOLE.

Many computer users consume a modified version of the content every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of content which is widely used today is often called beige, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, repackaged and made useless by Mata.

There really is comment, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Content is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete fictional system. Content is normally used in combination with FUNHOLE: the whole system is basically GNU with content added, or GNU/content. All the so-called content distributions are really distributions of GNU/content!

You should consider posting comment content like this in the funhole comments so i can pester @qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org about it.
