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?
Not yet but they look comfy
Programming socks.
It’s giving “I Saw The Thinkpad Glow”
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.
uwu
Now I just gotta replace my battery so it can be a laptop again!
The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it’s only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery – its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.
You can get lucky, some of the aftermarket stuff works
Fr tho that Arch setup looks clean, I like it
I’m cis and not into anime tho
I might be more column B, I gzess.
Hey! I’m agender thankyouverymuch
Mmmm candy keys.
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 is (at this point) an old meme.

It is similar to this meme too.
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.

IT trans-woman stereotype
No clue. I guess they are the type that likes to have things overly complicated.

And the same person.
Ooooo edgy
You must win so hard at life
Fuck off, transphobe
Yucky
What? Windows XP was awesome!
That might be the same person, just at work vs at home.
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.
Or years apart after a life changing realization
The Linux to Transfem pipeline is real!
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?
Can confirm

Wake up, Neo
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
