2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    What the fuck is this meme, honestly? What's with all the femboy stuff? There's so many ordinary people using Linux. I don't get it. And there seems to be something against Arch Linux users in particular? I use Arch and have a wife and two kids. Am I not normal? Should I become a femboy, fellas?

    [–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    First came programmer socks, then Rust was invented, and now (fe)men are taking matters into their own hands, correcting the gender gap in IT themselves. What's not to understand here?

    Seriously tho, I don't think it's against anyone. It's just a meme, probably originating from a high share of queer people in the IT domain and the rising popularity of anime and manga culture, where femboys are sometimes idealised.

    Who said femboys cannot have wives?

    Because I don't want to. And I don't want to be made like I want to, nor should.

    [–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

    Do you like genuinely think people are trying to turn you into a femboy? No one is doing that, it is just a joke. Be whatever you want, that's kind of the point.

    [–] Huschke@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

    So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.

    [–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Very weird. Started with Slackware back in 97 or so. Still not a femboy and no desire to be one.

    Maybe if I switched to arch?

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Was enough for me to move to Manjaro, an Arch derivative, to become a femboy

    His dick fell off.

    [–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

    Really the anime and chicks with dicks on this website. It’s enough to make one explode with sexual desire for a boy toy.

    IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted...

    [–] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    It's just an Archlinux meme

    Also you can be a femboy and be straight.

    [–] occhionaut@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

    Lunacy!! What will be next, gay men who dont dress flamboyantly? /s

    ~~Linux~~ Arch Users

    FTFY

    I just hated that Windows had become a privacy cesspit and I wasn’t afraid of breaking things in Linux. Also, I accept that sometimes you just have to format and reinstall your sins of stupidity away.

    PS - You Lemmy bastards did get me into Star Trek though. Maybe it has begun…

    Don't visit any sex shops.

    Command line stupidity, not Bad Dragon stupidity.

    [–] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

    Let's be honest, there is no such thing as an old, fat femboy. There's a specific unfortunate ED component to femboys.

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

    And the 35 or so odd well adjusted linux folks around that find anime, fishnets, thinkpads, (and all associated memes) to be annoying AF. Esp anime / manga / uwu /waifu / and everything in that microcosm of artistic styling if I'm being honest.

    I just like the software composability discussion in plain English, man, not the side of fries.

    Edit: And anyone who disagrees uses stock Ubuntu unity and unironically thinks it's both beautiful and just as good as any other distro :P

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Friendly reminder about the name of this community. None of this should be taken as anything but a joke.

    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

    Maybe it's just copium cause his unix socks aren't as soft as the ones of the Arch femboy next door. (/s)

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

    I prefer the jokes to be entirely in the linux ecosystem is all.

    Maybe for you youngsters. We old farts only get to grow a beard and get fat.

    [–] oatscoop@midwest.social 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

    I feel like a lot of young linux users aren't getting the talk and it makes me sad. Nobody ever sat them down with a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explained the life cycle of an IT professional.

    They never learn the natural cycle of things: that at a certain age a lot of IT professionals undergo metamorphosis and transform into beautiful, sock-and-sandal wearing greybeards.

    Sometimes I wish. In the end it's neckbeard all the way up.

    [–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 9 months ago

    Wasn’t made aware of this phenomena until coming to Lemmy and browsing all.

    [–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    But I like dem titties. How I get dem titties if I'm a femboy.

    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

    Some girls like twinks/femboys.

    Or youncould start taking estrogen and stuff till you have some

    [–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

    It's because we want all the dress and trappings but still want to keep our packages. Logical conclusion honestly /s

    [–] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 9 months ago

    It definitely makes it harder to understand humans ime.

    [–] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 9 months ago

    It really don't do be like that.

    It really isn't though. This is a pretty weak stereotype. I have so many friends that are counter examples. Hey it's okay to make a meme if you want to have fun but if that's how you feel then your friend group is small.
