Can someone tell me where all the trans FOSS devs/enthusiasts hang out IRL, I need friends 🥺

~Signed, a lonely trans FOSS enthusiast (not a programmer sadly, maybe I just need thigh high socks...)

Highly recommend picking up programming.

  1. Many communities are very welcoming.

  2. Worse case scenario, you end up loving programming and making it in a career and making a lot of money.

Best case scenario, you contribute to open source.

  1. There's lots of sources out there to get started. Best part, lots of online communities too.

I am too dumb brain for programming :(

I've tried a few times in the past to get into it but I just get overwhelmed. I'm frankly amazed by and so thankful for all the programmers who contribute to all of the great libre software I use. I am stuck at the level of knowing more about computers than essentially everyone I know or encounter, while simultaneously being a complete and utter noob to anyone who actually understands computing. I just know how to use search engines and follow instructions written by people smarter than me.

99% of being a programmer is knowing what to Google, so you're halfway there.

Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
