It's giving "I Saw The Thinkpad Glow"
-
That might be the same person, just at work vs at home.
-
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 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

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.

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.

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.
-
A lot of transfems boymode in a professional setting :c
(Myself included)

visibly

Ugh. I hope the current owner has new keycaps for all the sock colors because matching socks + keyboard is cool, but well… when you change your socks that goes out the window
-
Judging by that picture, I think they’re all in on that color scheme and likely just bought multiple pairs of the same socks.
-
That’s baller

-
Redundant socks is essential for this setup.
-
Look, I have a suggestion that will change your life. You can never live another way again.
Go buy 10-20 pairs of socks, all same. When you get a hole in one sock, you only throw away the one sock. You never have to worry about mixing and matching. If you've got two socks, they count as a pair.
I'm not even matching my keycaps to socks, nor wearing anything special, I just found a specific pair of socks I liked and I've bought heaps over the years.

"plural inside"
Multi-CPU systems be like.

uwu

X200s Love it.

Same for old Dell, the $2000 laptop can be grabbed at $300 after 3 years, this is really cool. I installed Linux on mine too of course.
-
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?
-
It is (at this point) an old meme.

It is similar to this meme too.
-
What does Arch have to do with anything?
-
What do computers have to do with it anyway?

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!
-
-
Arch Linux !? Libel ! Real trans people use NixOS 😎
-
I use LMDE because I'm lazy, cranky, and it just works.
