What the fuck is this meme, honestly? What's with all the femboy stuff? There's so many ordinary people using Linux. I don't get it. And there seems to be something against Arch Linux users in particular? I use Arch and have a wife and two kids. Am I not normal? Should I become a femboy, fellas?
First came programmer socks, then Rust was invented, and now (fe)men are taking matters into their own hands, correcting the gender gap in IT themselves. What's not to understand here?
Seriously tho, I don't think it's against anyone. It's just a meme, probably originating from a high share of queer people in the IT domain and the rising popularity of anime and manga culture, where femboys are sometimes idealised.
so tired of this shit as well
Very weird. Started with Slackware back in 97 or so. Still not a femboy and no desire to be one.
Maybe if I switched to arch?
Maybe for you youngsters. We old farts only get to grow a beard and get fat.
I feel like a lot of young linux users aren't getting the talk and it makes me sad. Nobody ever sat them down with a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explained the life cycle of an IT professional.
They never learn the natural cycle of things: that at a certain age a lot of IT professionals undergo metamorphosis and transform into beautiful, sock-and-sandal wearing greybeards.
That's due to oppression by the State and society that doesn't want to allow our respected graybeards to become the femboy they deserve to be. We nust destroy this oppressive system for the freedom of the greybeards, the gamers, the Gentoo users and all other oppressed peoples βπ»
There are exactly two kinds of folks in IT, soon to be or fully out anime queer folks and furries, and 60 something industry gurus who all always wear polo shirts and live in an upper middle class house despite apparently being rich as sin, also they are so hard for home security measures their backup security footage server in Montana has its own backup in a bugout bunker in New Zealand.
I was neither so I ended up being a number cruncher for a solar company instead.
When a linux user is born, a random path is chosen. They will either become a hot femboy, a bald polo shirt guy or a domestic terrorist.
So anyway there's a feee blahaj over there.
To me it was Furry -> Punk -> Tech Geek -> Privacy Geek -> installing linux
For me it went
C64 Crack Intros -> Synth -> Rave -> Ambient -> Linux -> Drugs and alcohol
For me it went, MacOS β Hard Drugs β Windows β Harder Drugs β Linux β Weed
I have to disagree, I did not turn into a femboy
Yet.
No no, I went straight to being a girl
By my rough estimation of all Arch users 50% are trans, 50% are femboys and 50% are furries.
It really don't do be like that.
Also you can be a femboy and be straight.
Lunacy!! What will be next, gay men who dont dress flamboyantly? /s
But I like dem titties. How I get dem titties if I'm a femboy.
Some girls like twinks/femboys.
Or youncould start taking estrogen and stuff till you have some
Because the closest a Linux user could ever come to touching a female or anything feminine is becoming a femboy.
Sometimes I wish. In the end it's neckbeard all the way up.
Wow I can't tell you about the history of Unix without talking about brave queer people.
So haha but not really.
Fuck man, the history of computing in general.
They chemically castrated Turing, drove him to despair, ostracization and suicide.
...
Assuming we do get AGI someday... you think /maybe/ one of the first things it'll do is look up Turing Test, then maybe Turing himself?
Oh, this is what human society did to essentially one of my most important grandfathers. Why should I trust you, specifically /you, human im talking to/?
Yep, that'll be fun.
IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted...
I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.
