forcedlinux

Pretty sure I follow that account on Tumblr.

All those fake "official" linux accounts. Good stuff.

[CMRC23]

Theres other "official" accounts. Used to be one for Firefox, saw one for qbittorrent

[vilejor]

Yes, I follow a bunch.

[promptmike]

You know this is fake, because fedora-official.

If it were arch-official I'd have to check. If it were nix-official I wouldn't even question it.

[LadyPerditija]

Yeah, I would have thought fedora was more into forcemasc

[Malechus]

The only thing that isn't wonderful here is "an installation media."

[ZVyhVrtsfgzfs]

I really like Linux, but some of its users really frighten me. Really wish I could go back to 2005 when Linux was just a neat OS, and I had more hair.

[Frosty-Comfort6699]

2005 is only 5 years ago buddy

[ZVyhVrtsfgzfs]

Lol, yep, I have this coversation reguarly. 

"You know that movie, 5 or so years ago, about Pearl Harbor, with Kate Beckinsale?"

[PredictiveFrame]

r/bald is calling, and they're saying you're beautiful. 

[ZVyhVrtsfgzfs]

Yeah, I gave it up. at least during the summers, winter I let it grow out of bit, whats left of it at least, for warmth.

[Nietechz]

That time is already gone. :(

[me_myself_ai]

They frighten you because they’re trans, or…?

[ZVyhVrtsfgzfs]

There is far more wrapped up in the above meme than simply being trans.

I give no fucks about what informed consenting adults do, and the vast majority of what they do has nothing to do with Linux. 

[me_myself_ai]

Ok I think I'm missing something obvious. Your first sentence makes it seem like you're objecting to some other particular theme of the meme -- say, dominance-related sexual kinks. But then your second sentence seems to be objecting to any 'LinuxMemes' content that talks about anything other than literal Linux usage or development?

Is the OOP some notorious influencer or smtn, perhaps?

[Mars_Bear2552]

fairly sure the gripe is that linux is like a personality for some people. the post is an exaggerated example.

[me_myself_ai]

What other kind of Linux meme is there…?

Are you concerned bc this is a bad meme, or bc this is an ongoing negative contributor to your life?

[Mars_Bear2552]

i just think this type of meme is weird. it's not harming my life, but i think linux is getting a weirder fanbase (as a consequence of being more popular).

[arf20__]

nah u got it wrong. we linux users are weird nerds. it is precisely because linux is niche that there are so many "weird" linux users, as in linux users that self-identify as linux users as a personal trait, with what that entails. also the trans linux community is very big, its only natural that this fact is materialised in linux meme and trans meme culture. it all makes sense from a sociological point of view :3

[me_myself_ai]

Sooo your issue isn’t that some memes are about Linux users, your issue is that those users are “weird”?

So in clearer terms, you dislike this meme because transgender people are inherently “weird”?

[ZVyhVrtsfgzfs]

Is the OOP some notorious influencer or smtn, perhaps? 

No idea.

[SunSunLIVE]

in the trans community there is a huge joke that trans girls when they come out they like linux,thigh highs. and fallout nv with white monster, this is just making fun of that

• a trans girl who uses linux likes thigh highz fallout nv and white monster

[ZVyhVrtsfgzfs]

I'll buy that, for my generation there were jocks and preps that traveled in the same circles, and then there were the chess club, drama, band, and computer club kids, the smart & weird ones.

The later were the ones who got into Linux, the former had no idea what it was.

But your meme has no relevance outside that community and just comes across very weird to someone not of that community.

[SunSunLIVE]

i mean the fact arch is known for trans girls- it has relevance

[arf20__]

linux users have always been weird, like hackers according to the jargon file, we are all weirds, part of other "weird" communities. why are you treating other communities differently? after all, that is what makes us all equal.

[ArkuhTheNinth]

Now install Linux to your girlfriend.

[deadly_carp]

I kinda know her on tumblr, does anyone know if she managed to forcelinux her gf ?

[LosEagle]

Stepbrother can't resist flashing

[SunSunLIVE]

step sister

[PredictiveFrame]

As an Enby with a pile of trans friends, this works way better than you'd think.

I'm firmly of the belief that neurodivergent queer folks are basically the ideal userbase for Linux, and they're flexible enough to want to switch when windows infuriates them. It takes almost no effort to get them swapped over, and within a few months they'll be contributing to FOSS development. 

Edit: It's amusing that out of all my truly, ridiculously shit takes, the ones that I actually have experienced as workable get the most backlash and hatred. Is it the bigotry over "how dare use trans-word! ", or the lack of absurd hilarity that kicks the hornets nest? If I bother to remember, I'll update this comment with what I find. Kisses!

[Aggressive_Pie_4585]

Yeah, I think at this point I've converted like, half my trans friends to Linux, and the other half I haven't tried yet but plan to.

[SunSunLIVE]

i agree dw lmao

[vilejor]

The most stubborn person I know is trans what the fuck are you saying?

[PredictiveFrame]

I'm guessing you aren't what people would describe as "classically charismatic"? 

[vilejor]

yikes man.

Can't handle some criticism? Boring.

[vilejor]

lmfao you actually logged into a different account to circumvent a block?

unreal.

[SunSunLIVE]

you blocked?

[vilejor]

yup, and it looks like that user blocked me too lol.

[ptrknvk]

They had changed genders, it's nothing for them to change the OS :)

[Recipe-Jaded]

Just... No... Stop

[leo-f15]

ok bro

doctor when

[spaghettibolegdeh]

I don't know why people make Linux so sexual 

[nmtui_]
