Her life is normal. The depiction on the television is fiction. No reason to be envious

Theyre lamenting the fact that the tv is bootloader locked and cant run aosp and voyager... right??

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

I pass for normal sometimes

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 37 points 2 years ago

The easy way to have both is:

  • be trans girl
  • get a gf who's also a nerd
  • not straight romance like on TV, but who cares, lesbians are better anyway.

I have genuinely never heard of a straight woman using Linux. They all seem to be trans

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Did you mean that you've never heard of a non-trans woman using Linux?

[-] DrNyaaa@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

cis is the word you are looking for

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, you're right.

I've worked with a few before.

The thing is that unfortunately women receive a lot of harassment online, so they'll often use a gender-neutral or male-sounding username online, and maybe won't post as much so as to not draw attention to themselves.

I'm not sure why it's more common to see trans women in online communities though. Maybe in general they're more thick-skinned or are less worried about posting online, or maybe just spend more time online in general? Not sure.

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Plenty of trans folks go harder on gender expression online because they have difficulties to do so IRL, even if being female presenting tends to result in more issues.

[-] current@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

massive correlation with being trans, and being super adhd/asd/french/some other mental disorder (having one disorder means you have a strong possibility of having others, they're all extremely tied into each other, including gender dysphoria) which are things that cause you to be significantly more likely to spend a majority of your time on the internet and on obscure/nerdy/highly derived forums for various complicated and straightforward reasons.

being a social outcast also may push people towards corners of the internet, and trans people are often social outcasts even if they don't have some other disability causing them to be (especially those from more rural/more conservative or religious areas)

[-] dan@upvote.au 4 points 2 years ago

This is a great comment, and I should have said something similar in my comment. Thanks for writing it.

There's dozens of us, I swear! I know a few more too! I also load it on to hardware I upcycle for charity and I know a few went to women. :) Everyone can get comfortable with Mint. It's easier than Windows these days.

I knew one once, but she was borderline abused into it by her boyfriend. The same guy made me a linux user. He is quite succesful at that, if only he knew how to take a shower.

Straight woman using linux is pure fiction, i mean, if nerds will see one in real life, she'll have to fight them off like in world war z

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 years ago

i envy the functionality of normal people, until i see someone engaging in a "normal" relationship. Then i immediately remember that i don't have things so bad, and that i should focus on what makes my life enjoyable.

Anyway, i have i3 to configure, and other problems to ignore, i will go about my day now.

she smells like greasy hair and rants about random statistics she finds interesting when you're trying to fall asleep

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I have a hard time telling if you're trying to pain a negative picture or add to it.

Now you're just confusing cause and effect. Your life doesn't need to be Linux because of some external event that sucks, it's because of Linux that your life sucks.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Linux and FOSS are some of the nicest things on earth. If Linux or other FOSS didn't exist my life would would be worse.

Good one, but I meant the comic/manga.

I looked at kernel source code enough as a gentoo user

The only one stopping you from having human connections is you. You're your own barrier to happiness.

[-] owen@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 years ago

Eh, it takes more than that to be royalty dancing at a ball

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

happiness and royalty are not the same thing.

[-] owen@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They're not, so you shouldn't be jealous of the glamour on the screen
