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

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I guess happy families are fake TV stuff! πŸ™„

Entertainment depicts garbage as well as enviable traits and lessons many of which align with feeling loved and accepted.

[-] TheHobbyist@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 years ago

Is your family unhappy because you use Linux and Lemmy?

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'd encourage you to read what I responded to and then wrote. I'm not sure what your point even was.

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

Build the world you want to live in.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 88 points 2 years ago

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

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 45 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 21 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.

To be clear, there are straight trans women

IRL I only know of one person who uses Linux as a desktop computer.

i also know one person, that person is me :)

[-] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I'm an imposter. I run Win11 because work and home needs require some Windows only software. I do run Linux servers and i use WSL. So that one person I know isn't me.

WSL doesn't count

sincerely - Embrace, extend, extinguish

shitposting aside, I have win 10 installed on an ssd in my main rig, but i haven't seriously booted it in years by now. I'm in the process of eventually "decommissioning" it, so i put it into an old thinkpad i have lying around.

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.

[-] current@lemmy.ml 5 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.

[-] 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.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

I pass for normal sometimes

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 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.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[-] Leg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I like your facts.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

So there are pros and cons?

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Sounds like pros and pros to me

Technically the truth

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Good one, but I meant the comic/manga.

I looked at kernel source code enough as a gentoo user
