Cheekily "fixing" this post
I disagree. I use Linux but have depression. I'm upset that y'all left me out of this photo
As an autist can confirm
I was going to ask when has it ever made sense to run Windows, but then I noticed how old those logos are. Carry on!:-)
What are the current logos then? Did Linux's change?
Windows: Just four blue squares
Apple: Same shape, no colour whatsoever
Linux: 🏳️⚧️
I always think it's so funny that the old stereotypical gray haired man or neckbeard linux user got replaced by the new stereotypical transfem linux user. Now that there's less need to compile our own software there's more time to compile our own genders
If the stereotype is to be believed, why is this, do you think? Why would Linux and open source software attract such a disproportionately high number of transfrem individuals?
And would it be causative or is it or non-causative?
I think it's just that computers and programming are a really good escape from the world around you and that attracts anyone who feels in some way trapped or unseen in real life, especially with open source software where you really are free to make your computer into your own customized personal little world where you feel safe.
As the meme points out, Linux attracts the autistic crowd, and there have been some studies done that have found a correlation between autism and being transgender. Namely that people who are autistic tend to care less about gendered norms, and therefore are more likely to explore their own gender
My (entirely anecdotal, based on like three human beings who I'm acquainted with) impression is that the Trans-Chick linux user is the neckbeard linux user. She just started HRT in her 30s and lost a lot of weight.
That one no.
Can confirm, am depressed
Oh shit, a multi boot diagnosis.
Crap... I use all three
I'm also depressed though.
And time
