and yet, both are men
Ooooo edgy
You must win so hard at life
And the same person.
Fuck off, transphobe
Yucky
What? Windows XP was awesome!
Wtf does trans have to do with anything?
What does Arch have to do with anything?
What do computers have to do with it anyway?
IT trans-woman stereotype
I’ve wondered that myself, but I’ve come to the conclusion that transgender individuals seem to value their privacy more than the average person. This is all due to increased cyber bullying to them online. Linux is well known for being free from data collection (except Ubuntu) and corporate greed, so it would make sense if this was an operating system of choice.
No clue. I guess they are the type that likes to have things overly complicated.
It is (at this point) an old meme.

It is similar to this meme too.
Arch Linux !? Libel ! Real trans people use NixOS 😎
*Gentoo
I hate it when my gender takes ages to compile, but I’m running a slow CPU
Unfortunately the solution is to use a binary package for your gender, which puts you in one of a few common configurations, rather than letting you customize.
You Linux users sure are a contentious people.
You’ve just made an enemy for life!
We have our turf wars but we’re all secretly friends. Friendly competition keeps everyone motivated !
We’re all friends, until someone mentions systemd, or Rust, or Wayland. Then the gamemode switches to PVP.
:3
It’s giving “I Saw The Thinkpad Glow”
I have more in common with the guy on the left but I love and support the people on the right
They support you too… And the whole internet infrastructure!
I read people on the tight 🤭
All about that bussy
I’ve worked with a bunch of hardcore Linux users in my career, some of whom even knew about Lemmy. Not one of them have ever worn striped socks though.
A lot of transfems boymode in a professional setting :c
(Myself included)
I guess the important thing is Arch 🤭🫠
Gentoo was mentioned more actually.
Have you lived under the rock? Trans und Arch is running gag meme, lol
The number of trans people is very small. Only a small percentage of people who work in tech are trans. But a relatively huge percentage of trans people work in tech.
Nor is every thigh high sock user trans.
I respect cis people’s right to wear whatever they want…but if I see striped thigh high socks, I will continue to make assumptions until told otherwise.
I don’t work in tech but literally just put stickers and opensuse on a refurbished Thinkpad I bought a few days ago 🫡
visibly
That might be the same person, just at work vs at home.
Or years apart after a life changing realization
Or it’s their child
The Linux to Transfem pipeline is real!
Can confirm
!lemmysilver
Apparently the pipe goes both ways. I started by coming out as trans when I was 18 and now I use Linux

Hmmm that can’t be right, did I use the wrong terminal? Why can I only sometimes be a girl?
It must feel so good to get home, take of your slacks, and let your programming socks out after a long day in the computer mines.
Wake up, Neo
Fr tho that Arch setup looks clean, I like it
I’m cis and not into anime tho
My company just went under and let us keep our laptops, day after they wiped it I got Ubuntu on it. So I’m a little bit of column A, little bit of column B!
Dont have the socks yet huh?
Programming socks.
Hey! I’m agender thankyouverymuch
I’ve reached the acceptance stage of possibly being a pariah in the community for not wanting to wear the socks.
I’m also a cis-gendered heterosexual married male, so I guess that tracks.
ok but have you tried the long socks? they’re comfortable. also you can get manly hockey player style ones
I used to play ice hockey as a preteen/teen, so I’ve worn 'em in that context.
As far as the fem-boy/“girly” ones, I’m just not into it. Any socks above mid-achilles tendon make me itch. I have hairy legs.
what about striped ankle socks 😂
Well! My wife is Dutch and she bought me a pair of Dutch HappySocks™ with stripes a few birthdays ago.
those are awesome and they definitely count as programming socks 11/10
“plural inside”
Multi-CPU systems be like.
I might be more column B, I gzess.
