This is starting to get into the “only one joke” territory.
I assume that this stereotype is based on some volume of observation, but it’s been dragged and beaten into the ground, and honestly, as someone with decades of professional and enthusiast experience with FOSS, this stereotype just doesn’t even strike a chord with me.
In summary, this whole meme is overcooked.
It never even landed for me. I’ve NEVER met a trans person or femmy guy in tech. At least not compared to the swathes of the typical unkempt neckbeards.
Though no one wants to make neckbeard jokes, because that one has ALSO been beaten in to the ground… over and over and over and over…
I thought no one wanted to make neckbeard jokes because it would summon one to “ummm ackshully” all of us.
Probably both.
Umm ackshually
Well they outnumber the rest of us here
As someone who works in tech, my stereotype of “average tech worker” is going to be more like a guy named Praveen (there’s two Praveens on my team right now). But tech tends to have a lot of diverse backgrounds, since tech jobs usually care more about what you can do than where you’re from or what school you went to.
I’ve worked with 1 known ftm and didn’t know until 4 years in. I work in a 250 person org which is fairly progressive. I wonder if it’s that easy at a lot of bigger and vc tech.
I have worked with plenty of neck beard types, as well as more average folks. So this meme doesn’t match my experience at all.
Yep. Same with the “I use Arch btw” thing. It’s so played out.
Look out folks, its the meme police, come to apply logic and reason to your funny internet pictures!
Found the Arch user; right in the closet where I left him.
I’m glad trans people and non binary people feel comfortable in Linux spaces. Everyone should feel accepted in what is ultimately about computer software. At the same time, I find it a little confusing just how much content seems to find 1:1 equivalence between trans/enby movements and using not-windows.
I really want trans people to feel comfortable here, but I also feel like the frequent repetition of content like this post sort of commoditizes transness. Am I not a valid trans person if I prefer Macs? Am I not a valid Linux user if I’m happy with my AGAB? Again, really happy trans/enby people are happy here, but when we start saying group 1 equals by definition group 2, people from both groups get left out.
It’s an eye roller for me. Feels like a really played out joke at this point but this is the internet where there’s apparently no such thing as a dead horse
Horses went extinct same time shame did.
I think it’s a lemmy thing. The folks here are typically the folks in smaller more progressive communities. You dont even see it THAT much on Reddit.
I only see Linux memes here. Only once in a blue moon on Reddit. The ones I see here are usually pretty funny even though I use windows and osx.
I think you might just be missing some of the content. I think from the commoners here others have noticed this trend as well. I couldn’t care less just just saying I only see it here. Though I do spend less time on Reddit these days.
Correction: The Thinkpad is not optional.
But that’s the only one i don’t have, so i can’t say i use arch btw anymore?
“You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master.”
When there aren’t enough linux girls, the common GNUtaku undergoes a convoluted transformation to fill the pussy vacuum.
Such is the way of FOSS.
“pussy vacuum”
I’m in awe
Gotta say I’ve never really understood this meme.
Arch users = femboys
I get what the meme is. It does not align with my personal experiences.
yet
I’ve bene using it for 10yrs. Still just a hairy masculine homo.
That’s not okay. What if somebody told you that you’d eventually revert to cisgendered? That’d be very hurtful and rude. Telling this person their sexuality identity will change because you think it should is wrong
Damn. I upvoted both of you. I just want to have fun but I also take everything super serious as well. This shit’s hard!!
My kid wears the black version of the socks and the ears but he uses Windows 10. Is he just missing the shirt and other mandatory items?
It’s not uncommon for adolescent catgirls to go through an emo phase; being a teenager is hard and they will grow out of using Windows with time.
That said, if you think they are engaging in acts of self harm - such as setting up active directory, or running an exchange server - you should seek professional support
You mean a Samba-AD on Linux right, right?
Yeah, you should get him the other stuff as well. Then he’ll automatically download an Arch install and wipe Win10.
When did the standard uniform change from a fursuit to this? I wasn’t notified.
Glad I use Debian
Debian is the same outfit but you have a big ass beard too.
And the dick hangs down below the hem of the skirt.

Ok ok trans and femboys sure. But what does this say about thinkpad users?
Still hetero, that pc has a clit
Can confirm, the PC even stops working if you lick it long enough!
I find the lack of Gentoo representation disturbing. Download a stage 0 tarball, three pots of coffee, and clear your schedule for the weekend. It’s compilin’ time!
Nah, stage0 has too much bloat stage -1 ftw
Ahhh the tarball of the mind! I do this with all of my untouched projects.
I tolerate no disrespect for Arch users. The Thinkpad is of course not optional. Their Wiki saved me so often, they are forever my hero.
No… I only wear my wifes underware…
I still haven’t quite figured out why !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone exists
