Fun fact: they're actually the same person, but he sold it and bought it back when she realized the gross mistake she made

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.
Isn't it obvious? Linux turns people trans.
Or is it trans people turn their systems to Linux?
Is it the chicken or the egg?
Open-minded people can get into linux. You also have to be open-minded to consider being trans. My take is that linux and being trans are not directly influencing each other, but both increase your open-mindedness separately which in turn drives you towards more open topics generally
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.
Trans etc. are always a minority, obviously. They would not have to fight for their rights otherwise.
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.
A loud but lovable minority. Keep being yourself folks. Keep posting here and everywhere.

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.

it's just a meme. although there is perhaps a higher percentage of trans people using linux, perhaps due to the correlation with autism or because they're attracted to less opressive alternative safe spaces in general

Isn't that only for Arch?
Btw, what is it always with the stickers?
When youre using your laptop on the go, it has to be communicated without words that you use arch btw
You're in a meeting with 16 people with identical corporate laptops. Easy way to see whose is whose if they're not open.
Pfft, that's what the asset tags are for. Clearly my laptop is the one with the number 2760754 on a... sticker... son of a bitch!
I've never been in a corporate environment where stickers on laptops that weren't branded for the company itself was considered acceptable or professional.
I sticker my laptops.
I view it as theft deterrent. It stands out so it's easier to see in someone's hands, and makes an expensive laptop looks kind of shitty.
I have. It's not all what it's cracked up to be.
Did you work with engineers?
Extensively. Nobody has stickers on their laptops. Maybe that's some "fresh out of college" shit.

I guess it's feelings of ownership/pride/community.
What is always with the thigh highs?
Programming is easier in comfort
I have to get up early in the morning and go to a job and pay rent and bills now and it sucks...just let me keep the stickers please.
Quick and easy personalization of an otherwise generic product.
Since when programming socks counts as trans rights?
Congrats on exorcising that proprietary bitch out of the laptop's body!
I'm still mourning for my t400 that died last week, and everything makes me remember my old friend :(
