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)
For some reason this made me think of spaghetti, which is straight until it gets hot and wet, and actually, SpaghettiOS would not be a bad name for a distro. Except for trademark issues etc, but still.
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.
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.
oh its a shame you deleted this that person is a fkn loser and deserves to be called out for being a bigotted freak. they posted like 4 comments under this one thread looking at their account its wild
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.
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 :)
I need to know more about the backstory of this image. Mostly not because of those impressive thighs but because of that long ass chainsaw. Is that thing real?!
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
And yes, okay, maybe also because of those thick thighs.

Obviously a promotional picture for chainsaws from STIEHL. She doesn't wear any protective gear and those things are dangerous as fuck and probably used for huge ass trees.
San tends to use letters like Þ to represent a "th" sound. The letter is an old english one that died out. Lots of people will downvote his comments (including ones that use standard letters) for...reasons? I'm honestly not sure why.
Personally I'm down with bringing back old school letters. English orthography is almost as bad as french.
It's the wrong old English letter. Thorn is used for the th in thorn. The th in the and this is Eth. I might be a pedant, but I'm a pedant with standards.
I'm not sure why you said it's the "wrong" old english letter. I only specified "th sound" for thorn.
Also Eth and thorn were used interchangeably in old and middle english. Don't be a pedant without knowing the actual info especially since this is the 4th paragraph on wikipedia:
The letter thorn was used in Old English very early on, as was ð, which was called eth. Unlike eth, thorn remained in common use through most of the Middle English period. Both letters were used for the phoneme /θ/, sometimes by the same scribe.
Although I don't downvote their comments, I'd rather, they put the effort to use those separate characters for the 2 voices.
Otherwise, I don't really feel it to be a better option than 'th'.
And even though I know they are not looking for a "better option", I feel like this is something I can't get behind unless it is and that doesn't really make me happy to think of it.
RFC 98 was co-created and championed mostly by a person who has a history of within-organization agitation, first within Google, and now within Nix. They have a history of social activism and labor organization, and as far as I can tell, they are employed or contracted in various capacities that allow them to pursue these goals. By any reading, they are extremely polite and accommodating in the absolutely mind-endingly long RFC 98 doom-shedding.
I'm very confused about where those is going. the way it was prefaced made it seem like they were about to blame said co-creator from a right-wing perspective, but then the end of the paragraph affirmed their cordial collaboration and politeness.
as far as I was aware, the drama was largely Determinate Systems making a lot of QoL improvements gated behind their products + flakes eternally in beta and then the contract with Anduril
Wooden needles are supported, but are not mentioned in the main install guide for ethical reasons. There is a HOWTO:/Wooden_needles guide on the wiki if you need it
I updated my Cachy install last night and some packages needed to compile... It wouldn't end, I wanted to go to bed. It just kept compiling. Which tells me I will never try Gentoo
I was using Gentoo over two decades ago, compiling on an Athlon XP (not sure which model). Single core, well less than 2GHz.
If it was manageable back then, surely it's no big deal by now with a modern multi-core CPU -- even a low-end one, let alone something like a $300 16-core Ryzen 5950X.
There needs to be some subset/common theme for the Universal Blue distro family: Aurora, Bazzite, and Bluefin. I am not aesthetically talented enough to come up with such a collection.
OpenSuse.
Why am I in this photo?
i'm tagging you as "admitted to wearing mid-calf black socks with sandals and cargo pants at the same time"
Close enough
Black socks?
Do you have screen colour inversion?
no, i'm just teasing
This is FreeBSD.
Those are not thigh-highs.
💀💀💀
Opensuse dysphoria unlocked. But I guess I'm also a debian, arch, and nixos user so it cancels out
Rich or dumpster diver? Taking all bets! I also offer videoooo pokeeeeeer!
Ubuntu:
Ubuntu user here, can confirm
Very snappy.
How fitting that https://ubuntu.de/ is a literal circus
This is mine
Linux From Scratch
Nah that's arch linux from scratch is more like
Put some machines next to that and you got Gentoo, though from a different point of view.
I feel like if you’re at that point you’re developing your own kernel (just a hobby project, won’t be anything big)
Nah' that's when you get into gene editing, or if you're old school just select it over and over again until it fits what you want.
Windows:

"You're wearing socks aren't you!?" -Microsoft
ironically Debian is the straightest OS, it's named after the creator and his girlfriend who became his wife and he had kids with

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

For some reason this made me think of spaghetti, which is straight until it gets hot and wet, and actually, SpaghettiOS would not be a bad name for a distro. Except for trademark issues etc, but still.
Also technically, gay people can marry someone of the opposite gender and have kids with them (and they sometimes do!)
Didn't he kill himself?
Edit: I read the article. Yes he did.

Is that wallpaper available in dark mode?
I am considering setting it as my Debian^[which I use for work] wallpaper.
Ubuntu
Dang I just learned I need to switch to Ubuntu
Is that an Enterprise?
LMDE:
Can confirm - LMDE is made for lesbians.
For lesbians, by lesbians, with lesbians.
openSUSE!
Suspiciously similar to Mint...
slackware
Also.
tell me it still ships with
ddateGentoo requires you to grow the cotton, process it, and then knit the thigh-highs yourself
that's linux from scratch
Nah, it's both of them. The difference is, Gentoo gives you a cotton gin and a loom.
damnit, ordered the wrong color socks AGAIN. Wish the arch wiki would have this documented.
Arch comes without socks by default. It's up to you which ones you
installbuy.I used
archinstallarchsockbuysudo pacman -S archsocks
Watch out to not accidentally make a typo and change a vowel. Otherwise pacman will be upset and sabotage your install.
I use Linux Mint at work and Pop!OS at home. Sorry to disappoint.
For all we know, those could be thigh high socks
Lol
You should try harder, probably.
If they don't smell like shit, they won't count.
Nice trousers.
Need to get it tailored to get a fit like this nowadays. No OTS
They just look ironed to me
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.

What does OP think the image suggests I wonder?
oh its a shame you deleted this that person is a fkn loser and deserves to be called out for being a bigotted freak. they posted like 4 comments under this one thread looking at their account its wild
You’re completely right, and my opinion hasn’t changed they are an awful transphobic person that posted heinous transphobic bullshit.
Since a moderator thankfully deleted the comments already I didn’t want to make anybody have to read their contents again, was my thinking.
I like the way this comment assumes the unix socks meme is perpetuated by horny neckbeards, not horny transwomen.
Don't forget the horny femboys
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 think the socks thing is more of a reference to trans people (or femboys or however they liked to be called) who like linux
It didn't occur to me that the people in the graphic might be women. 😆
Respecting people is way more important than "getting" a meme, so your head's in the right place, regardless.
Yeah let's get back to older better times :-)
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.
Confused? Who isn't in these times...
Cheers
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 :)
What's this got to do with women?
I can confirm that even female penguins prefer to wear tuxedos ☺
To me it just means maybe I should try Gentoo
Seedy? I think you are reading more into the socks than I am.
I mean I took it as what /I'd/ wear, because I do like wearing thigh high socks.
Men like women bodies. Thats why you are here on this planet. Your dad got attracted to your mom, probably because of her body.
I really think you have lost your mojo if you are offended by this.
Ubuntu
EndeavourOS. Not the easiest to find.
Stop putting your legs up on your desk. You should be putting them on MY LAP.
OpenBSD
Is that real? Can one hypothetically actually get them? If so, where?
Leather socks openSUSE
WHY THE FUCK DO LEATHER SOCKS EXIST?! What problem does this solve, dry feet?
Same as compression socks, but you get to brag about how it took 2 hours to get them on.
Armor, some PCBs can get pointy.
Also you fine folk wear your disto-wear over or under your Gimp-wear?
Those legs look weak. What Linux is this?
That's just straight up Unix, the mother of it all.
I need to know more about the backstory of this image. Mostly not because of those impressive thighs but because of that long ass chainsaw. Is that thing real?!

Yeah and that chainsaw is pretty dangerous too.
But then why is the blade mounted with the logo upside down?
Idk. Incompetence?
I've had that picture for years and just noticed now! tx
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.
Also, that shot was sponsored by Stihl... And they took it before they fixed the bar and chain lol.
It's from this video:
https://youtu.be/75iOaMW-pTE
That's your takeaway from this pic?
Arch looking so hot rn
I use peasant arch btw
Ankle socks for you
As someone who is firmly in the greybeard mould, I ain't shaving my legs for this.
that's half the point of thigh highs, you don't have to shave lol
Have you ever seen light-colored stockings (esp. white) on hairy legs? There's no accounting for taste, but IMO it's not a good look... at all.
I have. Yeah aesthetically it's not the best
Opaque ones.
Mint
EndeavourOS
what are these unrealistic body expectations
Where do latex socks go
Debian Science
i went with mint to compensate for the lack of showering
Clever
You forgot the Ubuntu socks:
I'm cool with little bow ties up top. That's a pretty good look for my 6'6 275lbs. very hairy body. I would feel so pretty in them!
was nix but switched to guix for
no nixos novemberto lessen my dependance on fascists. What kind of socks do I order now?Oh, lord. Who did what now?
Do you mean þis?
Why the downvotes? I had the same question. It's hard to keep track.
San tends to use letters like Þ to represent a "th" sound. The letter is an old english one that died out. Lots of people will downvote his comments (including ones that use standard letters) for...reasons? I'm honestly not sure why.
Personally I'm down with bringing back old school letters. English orthography is almost as bad as french.
A little eccentric but also kinda cool. Thx for the explanation, I didn't even notice.
It's the wrong old English letter. Thorn is used for the th in thorn. The th in the and this is Eth. I might be a pedant, but I'm a pedant with standards.
I'm not sure why you said it's the "wrong" old english letter. I only specified "th sound" for thorn.

And even though I know they are not looking for a "better option", I feel like this is something I can't get behind unless it is and that doesn't really make me happy to think of it.
The IPA defined their use as such.
But using them interchangeably is accurate to Old English.
Eth and thorn were interchangeable. (go to timestamp 8:06, for some reason lemmy keeps eating my attempt to link directly to that time.)
A lot of people are afraid of non-standard letters.
I'm very confused about where those is going. the way it was prefaced made it seem like they were about to blame said co-creator from a right-wing perspective, but then the end of the paragraph affirmed their cordial collaboration and politeness.
as far as I was aware, the drama was largely Determinate Systems making a lot of QoL improvements gated behind their products + flakes eternally in beta and then the contract with Anduril
Yessssss, Guix covert.
I know it's largely due to my own fanaticism regarding Guile but I think it's such a great distro and feels like it never gets mentioned, anywhere.
what sis nix do? :o
Unwashed ass = Omarchy
Omarchy is any of those with the strong aroma of hairy unwashed balls.
Ah, I know what you mean. That taste is truly unique.
This post makes me think I should find some purple and black kneehigh socks for my fat ass and crossdress for the bit.
I think I broke something. Help.
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [socks.thigh];
Feels more like a home manager thing to me
finally. void linux mentioned
All hot distros it seems. I should take a careful look at gentoo based on this.
When do my socks come?
If you're on Gentoo, you need to build them from sources
First you need to dig in your garden until you find the iron to make knitting needles.
If you want to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.
But I thought the guy wanted to install Gentoo.
Well you'll need food to eat while you're doing the industrial revolution and getting ready to build your computer
Oh. OK. Makes sense. Can't I get a second hand universe somewhere?
Debian user: "you know you can make wooden knitting needles right?"
Wooden needles are supported, but are not mentioned in the main install guide for ethical reasons. There is a HOWTO:/Wooden_needles guide on the wiki if you need it
I'm sorry, but the pink&white striped ones are canonically Arch.
Is there a distro that matches with toeless latex stockings? i am asking for a friend
https://www.bunsenlabs.org/
https://crunchbangplusplus.org/
Where alpine?
completely naked
Guess my dist
Not socks, it's WSL.
Sorry you have to use your imagination
Do I spy a Bluefin user?
Ding ding
🤓
(Recent Aurora convert here. Always preferred KDE to GNOME, but no shade. All in the family, amiright?)
Most have both as an option now, I didn't get along with bluefin in the end, not a fan of the homebrew sandboxing and whatnot
Arch should be bare legs (and feet 🥵)
Gentoo should be something that looks self made.
Can I choose bothe my distro and my sock?
my socks say gentoo but my splash screen says debian
Gentoo🗿
When do I get my Arch socks? Also, I should try Nix based off this image (which is a trustworthy source of course).
I updated my Cachy install last night and some packages needed to compile... It wouldn't end, I wanted to go to bed. It just kept compiling. Which tells me I will never try Gentoo
Litterhosen for SUSE?
You ment Lederhosen
Ja. Danke!
What if my favourite are Gentoo's but I don't want to spend years of my life waiting for my OS to compile from source?
Overnight chronjobs?
Buy a faster CPU.
😭
I was using Gentoo over two decades ago, compiling on an Athlon XP (not sure which model). Single core, well less than 2GHz.

Seems like they are more or less the same🤷♀️
I mean based solely on the picture I would choose Debian. I would change to Arch for my horny outfit.
Speaking of which, can we decide on canon skirts/dresses for these? 😂
...And what would Tails be?
Ha programmers are fem
There needs to be some subset/common theme for the Universal Blue distro family: Aurora, Bazzite, and Bluefin. I am not aesthetically talented enough to come up with such a collection.
I'm on Endeavour, so i need the Arch socks except with those old lady help-you-pull-your-socks-up thingies attached
are green ones mint, menjaro or omarch?
arch users are sailor scouts confirmed
thats not true, i have pink ones but i use arch
MX Linux
Why are none of them open toed??
QubesOS so I have all at the same time
my socks say gentoo but my splash screen says debian
my socks say gentoo but my splash screen says debian
Gentoo got the stocking and heels going on. Would.
For science

Oh my got it's right!
Proof here
Yes.
What would bedrock linux be?
I use arch
Is Ubuntu thicc?
