LONG LIVE THE GIMP BELLPEPPER
Ohhh... I'm a Krita enjoyer so I didn't know this about gimp. TIL, haha
BeOS, Haiku OS, Temple OX, NeXTSTEP, OS/2, DOS, AmigaOS(ok, that's just a single furry right now).
There's a furry using AmigaOS?
.......... What for?
I disagree. I use Linux but have depression. I'm upset that y'all left me out of this photo
New distro coming to shelves near you: Depression Linux
With microsoft edge preinstalled
What about ADHD?
Android ;}
More like: Windows + Linux + Android + FreeBSD = ADHD
Fuck, I'm this comment...
I'm afraid both.
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!:-)
I do miss Windows 95 sometimes...
I mean, compared to Win 3.1, and before that, DOS...
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?
As long as we're being arm-chair-y -- At the core of being into FOSS is the following thought: "Don't tell me what I can and can't do" -- Getting into Linux means going out and exploring, deliberately learning something, and all because you don't want your computer to decide things for you.
.... Transgender individuals are similarly breaking out of the "conventional" and making themselves "outsiders".
It's not causation, but correlation. Anyone who's into FOSS will most definitely not be one for conforming to social standards, and transpeople are not people who are conforming to social standards.
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
yes, and. lets not forget this discussion is happening on lemmy. this place is just autistic as fuck. even those of us autist around here who are straight tend to be the ones who find most other straight people obnoxious. we've self sorted into an audiance that, as another comment hilariously points out. most of us probably know a genx neckbeard linux user who used to be really gumpy. but she's pretty chill and happy now.
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.
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.
Oh shit, a multi boot diagnosis.
Can confirm, am depressed
I got so depressed it seems I developed autism to solve it.
Crap... I use all three
I'm also depressed though.
And time
