BeOS, Haiku OS, Temple OX, NeXTSTEP, OS/2, DOS, AmigaOS(ok, that's just a single furry right now).

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 1 points 1 minute ago

There's a furry using AmigaOS?

.......... What for?

More like: Windows + Linux + Android + FreeBSD = ADHD

I'm afraid both.

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!:-)

I do miss Windows 95 sometimes...

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 1 hour ago

I mean, compared to Win 3.1, and before that, DOS...

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 9 points 4 hours ago

What are the current logos then? Did Linux's change?

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 28 points 4 hours ago

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?

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 6 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] nzeayn@lemmy.world 2 points 6 minutes ago

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.

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 7 points 3 hours ago

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.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 13 points 4 hours ago

That one no.

I got so depressed it seems I developed autism to solve it.

[-] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 4 hours ago

Oh shit, a multi boot diagnosis.

[-] SaintWacko@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 hours ago

Crap... I use all three

[-] peto@lemm.ee 8 points 4 hours ago

I'm also depressed though.
