I like how the Linux user stereotype has changed from "greasy neckbeard" to "femboy".

I really donβt get these posts common on Lemmy. How common is this? Where did the high socks Linux joke come from?
There was a post on a similar subject not too long ago, and it seems the landscape shifted about 10 years ago. A whole load of alt-lifestyle folks got into Linux and sysadmin, and maybe a few previously straight-laced sysadmins came out as alt too.
Vive les diffΓ©rences
its not a joke, its real :3 (for me at least)
What got you into them both?
no clue tbh, probably a coincidence
This is the second post with Unix and socks on my feed in the past few minutes.
There was a post about software and socks a few weeks or so ago where I replied about a company called functional software that made functional socks which I wore for years, which come to think about it also started a discussion about functional programming.
Anyway, here's a community where the socks seem to be coming from.
For anyone wondering what distro that is:
It's Nyarch Linux https://nyarchlinux.moe/
no it ain'tπ
Whaaaaaat?!! π
uwunix
And here i thought this only happens if you use nixβ¦
Only happens when you use Arch.
EndevorOS is a slippery slope
You're the boss, applesauce! β€οΈ
I spent a solid minute trying to figure out why the second step ladder looked fucked up.
I am not very perceptive.
Segmented mirror.

Damn, I just like warm feet and ankles, but ngl, those do look fierce
