Thinkpad meme
(lemdro.id)
plot twist: its the same person
except they don't identify as a person anymorre
I support their journey into systemhood 😌
Same here. I have a ThinkPad, and don't identify as a person. It just happens that I'm not a femboy (to my knowledge)

This is either really transphobic or really trans positive :p
Heh, I have the arch sticker on that exact spot too:
Ahh, the classic Firefox logo. How old is that sticker?
Also an old KDE logo. New, I just prefer the older logos.

Uhh… I just picked up a pair of old Thinkpad x130e and have a put Linux on them. If I run Debian instead of Arch and keep the sticker collection small can I avoid having to find socks like that in my size?
No
Might need a different colour. But distros are inclusive, so no worries.
It's the same guy.
how dare you to assume it´s gender?
/s
I'm not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better
Wait I always supposed that those sock pictures were from girls...
They often are :3

That reminds me that I have a stack of Vista era laptops (and one Win 7) gathering dust. I should find something to do with them.
I use an old laptop as a Pi-hole, personally.
I call bullshit. You’re telling me they’re choosing some bullshit knockoff cherry red crap over arguably one of the best laptop keyboards ever created?
That’s AI man.
Red is crap. Gotta go blue or clear.
Well if we’re talking switches, get with the kailh box dark yellow and feel the burn.

Shit... One of my coworkers is giving me one of these to play with...
Guess I'm ordering the socks this weekend...
glhf :3
I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC 😔
Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it's the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.

i have socks but no thinkpad :(
Not trans, but soon I'll also have a ThinkPad, where can I get stickers for it? I'm looking into Manjaro instead of Arch though.
Manjaro is kinda crappy tbh, I'd recommend EndeavourOS or CachyOS instead.

You can find those kind of sticker packs on ebay and other shopping sites.(Goes for around 2 - 10 US bucks) You can also custom print your own ones (Usually hella ton cheaper)

I just bought a T580 from eBay. When do the socks and skirt arrive?
Need to install Arch first and, of course, tell everyone about it. One morning they will just appear on your doorstep. Happened to me, and everyone else I know.

Plot twist: the second person is the same as the first.
I'm a secret third thing
Got the think pad and used to have the socks, but no Arch. Fedora and Debian for me.
