Old Thinkpads running Arch are basically the new Blåhaj
And I’m all for it!
Congrats on exorcising that proprietary bitch out of the laptop’s body!
What’s up with these trans-memes surrounding linux? Are they just a loud minority?
People that enjoy customizing their body happen to enjoy customizing their OS too.
That would be medics and genetical engieneers
A lot of gender-floaty people work in IT, because they feel at home with the other socially-inept people like me.
And a lot of people who work in IT use Linux.
So there is a ton of overlap.
And the rest are furries or both.
While funny to meme about not really true. IT is made up of all sorts of people. Furries, trans, lgtbq+, tired oarny old men and everything in-between.
There is a disproportionately large number of furries working as network admins though. Whenever you use the internet, there’s a good chance that your data is transiting via a network administered by furries.
Trans etc. are always a minority, obviously. They would not have to fight for their rights otherwise.
No idea why they are so highly visible here. Probably highly concentrated in Lemmy.

no one should have to fight for their right, but that doesn’t change the fact that non-trans people enjoy customizing their os as well. so answer to the original question is yes, it is a loud minority.
It’s IT wages and being able to take a break and think about oneself. When Twitter was called Twitter and I’ve been there, the core population of trans, lgbt+, kink, furry, whatever communities were those who could afford a brief moment to think about themselves, these later magnfied other folks who aren’t as well-off. Being gay or trans is natural as our science says, but understanding you are gay or trans means you have enough time, resources, safety to even discover you are one, not to say about presenting as one in public. Tech persons have a natural advantage here over a doordash delivery guy, but as they show it’s possible, many poorer persons show up too. And it’s not a coincidence Lemmy is popular in these communities, as it’s not only a tech-gated space, it’s also a promising safe space where they can be whoever they want without social pressure.

Fun fact: they’re actually the same person, but he sold it and bought it back when she realized the gross mistake she made
Damn, you assumed pronouns like 4 times. Get ready to go to trans jail (jk)
Wait, I thought I implied the gender change correctly?
You IMPLIED? That’s even worse than assuming. Life sentence.
Dammit, I’m busted… (but they’ll never know I’m also a racist)
Me reading this thread with a native language that doesn’t have gender specific pronouns: 😳😅
As a transmasc demiboy I’m getting gender envy from the first guy.
What’s the digital clock in your terminal?
Most likely uptime
What’s uptime?
Nothing much, how about you?
looks like either tty-clock or
tmux clock-mode(prefix + t)
Since when programming socks counts as trans rights?
