It’s giving “I Saw The Thinkpad Glow”
That might be the same person, just at work vs at home.
Or years apart after a life changing realization
The Linux to Transfem pipeline is real!

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.
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’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.
Nor is every thigh high sock user trans.
Arch Linux !? Libel ! Real trans people use NixOS 😎
You Linux users sure are a contentious people.
We have our turf wars but we’re all secretly friends. Friendly competition keeps everyone motivated !
We’re all friends, until someone mentions systemd, or Rust, or Wayland. Then the gamemode switches to PVP.
Wtf does trans have to do with anything?
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.
