Linux

I'm a keto vegan CrossFit guy who uses arch. You wouldn't get it

Every pussy will dry up in the immediate vicinity.

Does that include my own pussy too? That would be tragic 😔

I would have thought so. But you'd be surprised how often it can crop up. Somebody wears an old hat or shirt with a logo, or someone complains about a change at work or whatever.

It won't be often, but I've run into OS discussions maybe three times this year, and I'm fairly antisocial.

9/10 it's going to be someone bitching about win 11, and someone else saying "hey, south uses Linux something-or-other, go ask him." And then the conversation happens.

That other one time is usually tangential, where I'm talking about writing and the conversation moves to the programs used, which leads to questions about why I use libreoffice, and the fact that I use it on mint as part of explaining my setup.

Now, I don't use arch, nor do I usually bring it up outside of a few friends that have abandoned windows. But I have run into a few arch users here and there.

i don't even have to mention it. I bought the pullover "i use [arch logo] btw" so people come up to me and insult me

this is the main problem i have with fairphones. i prefer completely unethically sourced products

So Arch first?
Got it!

What sucks is that you have to keep it for yourself, otherwise people will think negatively of you. Because for some reason caring about animals or the climate is cringe or something idk, like it's something to almost be embarrassed about. Which is doubly strange when animal abuse is often considered very bad by those very same people.

But I guess for many caring about other people in general is cringe as well, as long as they are sufficiently emotionally distanced, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I just wish it wasn't, and that caring for others was the baseline more than anything else.

Yeah, the stereotype drives me nuts. Like, yes, food is a big part of day-to-day life and sometimes I need to explain when asked why I'm not eating if there's nothing for me at, say, a company event. I try to avoid it as much as possible and just say I'm not hungry.

Also people who use pc as a synonyme for windows. fuck those guys and guydedts.

PS. Macs are also PCs as PC describes the hardware and the usecase unrelated to the producer and the installed os.

Call it "starch". The cruelty-free Linux distro.

A gen X joke that should have died already.
