Dont have the socks yet huh?
Not yet but they look comfy
Programming socks.
It's giving "I Saw The Thinkpad Glow"
I've reached the acceptance stage of possibly being a pariah in the community for not wanting to wear the socks.
I'm also a cis-gendered heterosexual married male, so I guess that tracks.
ok but have you tried the long socks? they're comfortable. also you can get manly hockey player style ones
I used to play ice hockey as a preteen/teen, so I've worn 'em in that context.
As far as the fem-boy/"girly" ones, I'm just not into it. Any socks above mid-achilles tendon make me itch. I have hairy legs.
what about striped ankle socks π
Well! My wife is Dutch and she bought me a pair of Dutch HappySocksβ’ with stripes a few birthdays ago.
those are awesome and they definitely count as programming socks 11/10
uwu
Now I just gotta replace my battery so it can be a laptop again!
The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it's only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery -- its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.
You can get lucky, some of the aftermarket stuff works
Fr tho that Arch setup looks clean, I like it
I'm cis and not into anime tho
I might be more column B, I gzess.
Mmmm candy keys.
