Jokes on you, they're the same person
As it should be.
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 theyβre doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think Iβd only be as creative as to play movies in VLC π
Ive got an old network that eol got a bunch loaded with n64 and ps1 rims on it.
Using it for learning about cyber security mostly. Reading, browsing, just laptop stuff aside from that.
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.
Contributing to opensource libraries that make the whole tech field not collapse.
With mine, Iβm working on a few things:
- Getting better at CLI, specifically tmux and helix. Iβm ok at it now, but could use the practice.
- Learning Rust. Itβs nice to not have distractions when I want to focus.
- Experimenting with some alternative OSs. Iβm extremely conservative with my main machine, but I donβt really care about these laptops.
- Enjoying simplicity.
My boss gave me 5 free T-420s. They all run Mint now.
I'm not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better
Men may not like it, but this is the ideal IT body.
....this honestly checks out entirely
Wait I always supposed that those sock pictures were from girls...
They often are :3

plot twist: its the same person
except they don't identify as a person anymorre
I support their journey into systemhood π
This is either really transphobic or really trans positive :p
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)
I can't relate ; I've never had a think pad
I just bought a T580 from eBay. When do the socks and skirt arrive?
7th or 8th gen Intel?
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.
I installed EndeavourOS. Does that count?
Yes, but the colour of your clothing will be pre-selected for you in a very opinionated matter.
You mean stockings and kilt don't you?

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

I don't get the stickers thing.
Using one to cover up logo or brand etc is understandable tho.
The stickers thing has always been an "ick" for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.
That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.
Some people wanna customize their machine and don't care about opsec.
I would never put stickers on my machine unless it was enough to completely cover it with hex stickers.
I call bullshit. Youβre telling me theyβre choosing some bullshit knockoff cherry red crap over arguably one of the best laptop keyboards ever created?
Thatβs AI man.

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.
where can I get stickers for it?
wherever stickers are sold?
Manjaro is kinda crappy tbh, I'd recommend EndeavourOS or CachyOS instead.
