Why stop there? Shut it all down. Pull the plug.
Say it with me
Trans rights are human rights!

Filthy darling
Wtf. I came here to make this same comment.
Thought I’d be super clever haha. Take my upvote instead
Too many smash burgers not enough veggies?
I’m taking note of all the prominent individuals and organizations which chose to remain on the fascist platform and thus implicitly support it.
I feel ya.
I’m lying here alone right now, in my noisy hovel of an apartment, scared shitless, trying to block out the sound and light, to sleep as wave after wave of sorrow washes over me. The pills really aren’t working so well lately. Hooray for “the weekend.”
For the first time in my life I’m considering substance abuse. The world mostly just disgusts me right now.
Saaaame, happy for you <3
It’s a scary world right now but we got this.
I think it’s hilarious that people are still using DOS in 2024!
Sim City 2k was the first time I used Windows 95. One of the teachers in my sixth grade class had it on their computer, and they let us take turns playing it. It seemed really amazing to those of us who grew up with more primitive computers, like Apple IIs, even Macs, various x86 clones running DOS, or occasionally Windows 3.1.
My first PC in 1998 even had Sim City 2k “Network Edition” pre-installed. Played the shit outta that game!
30 is about right. Same for me. Beware
Oh no!
If only there was a non-Windows alternative.
OMG! Elon you should totally direct your minions of big brain programmers to create a new OS… XOS? About 6 months oughta be enough time to crank that out.
Uh money is an issue and I’m still getting out of this trash belt state. Even if I have to crawl on my hands and knees.
It’s OK to be “disconnected.”
Especially if “connected” implies dependency on one corporation which has shown general disregard for its customers’ privacy and mental health.
I don’t use Whatsapp, FB, Instagram, snapchat, google, and somehow manage to make my way through the world.
Believe it or not plenty of people still interact in meatspace, limited as it is.
My friend’s not stupid per se… just struggles with things most people find trivial. Like answering the phone or going outside.
I mean, if God lets it happen, it was meant to be
More importantly,
Are any of you single and willing to settle for someone unattractive, not too smart, and otherwise limited?
Asking for a friend.
Introducing Google Pay-I.
Revolutionary AI learns from your habits and personality to make payments on your behalf! It will buy things you didn’t even know you needed!
Ugh flashbacks of trying to install Slackware on my Pentium-based Compaq Presario (originally Win95)…
I do not look back fondly on those times.
It’s OK to personally “not understand” a popular meme (400 updoots at last count). Create and vote for content you really understand.
As a trans woman who exclusively uses Linux and 90% FOSS, avid wearer of thigh highs and skirts, it makes perfect sense.
Something for all of us.
You are waaaay overthinking this.
It’s a crossover meme from trans/gender-nonconforming spaces. We have ways of finding humor in what is often an frightening and deadly serious situation (being trans in this world).
One of the in-jokes we have that I saw quite a bit on reddit, is that especially trans women and femboys “are all programmers or IT people” and being technical minded, use Linux. (I’m a trans woman who uses Fedora… Hi)
I think there is also the political and economic association that comes with FOSS – it’s a sort of disruption of the norm in capitalism, which is to have proprietary secrets as a store of value. FOSS challenges the notion that the fruits of labor should be privitized. In that sense it’s a radical movement, always has been, even if it has been adopted by the world at large.
Trans folk are as a rule, politically left-leaning, it seems these days we must be to exist, and so FOSS like Linux naturally appeals to the community.
Obviously there are going to be many non-technical trans people, and tech trans people alike who use proprietary OSes; and conversely most Linux users aren’t trans or GNC. The meme isn’t meant to be taken literally or to change anyone’s beliefs or actions.
