      ironically Debian is the straightest OS, it’s named after the creator and his girlfriend who became his wife and he had kids with

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Murdock

      He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn Roundy, and himself.[4] They later married, had three children, and divorced in January 2008.[5]

      Although obviously, straight people can make things for lesbians/lesbians can use things made by straight people (and they often do!)

      EDIT : I missed the obvious joke : Debian > ebian > (L)e(s)bian(s)

          To catch you up, transwomen Unix users have taken to posting pictures of their customised desktops while wearing stockings. I’m assuming it’s part of their gender affirmation or a desire to share both interests at once.

          This meme implies there are standard pairings of oses and stocking types.

      I have the opposite reaction when I see these memes. To me it’s a reminder of how inclusive some of my favorite nerdy communities are, on top of being a fun little in-joke like any meme should be. And I’m an old beardy middle aged dad too for whatever that’s worth.

      However, that doesn’t mean the image itself is innocent or appropriate for most audiences. I’m not going to be asking the family’s opinion on this one, lol. But I don’t see it as a manga fetish thing at all. More empowerment than exploitation for the owners of the legs shown.

        I had the same thought and am fairly confused by the outrage.

        Isn’t the whole joke that as soon as we sit down to nerd out on Linux that we put on our frilly socks? There’s even the whole unixsocks comm dedicated to it. And it always felt good in a throwback to the 90s ‘outcast geek’ community without all the cis dude-by-default baggage bit of in-joking. Welcoming all our brothers and sisters by highlighting just how much they are part of our community.

        What does OP think the image suggests I wonder?

          No problem, we’re all juss messing around and having a good time mostly. The image shows that wearing high raise stockings was the ordinary thing for men back in the day.

          The meme is offering you classy stockings to wear according to your distro choice. Look again - are you happy with the color? Would they complement or contrast your body stylishly? Have fun :)

          They are ironed, sure, but also, they are an actual “Straight fit”, seemingly with pleats(unless I am underestimating the wearer’s waist size). A trend that is hard to find ready-made nowadays. Even the pleated ones sometimes end up being tight on the thighs.

        It’s triple L rustic designs, and I did actually see the episode that is in that pic. From a quick google though, she wears that in every video.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

 

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t remove France.
