Jokes on you, they’re the same person
As it should be.
I’m not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better
Men may not like it, but this is the ideal IT body.

…this honestly checks out entirely
Wait I always supposed that those sock pictures were from girls…
They often are :3
I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC 😔
Using it for learning about cyber security mostly. Reading, browsing, just laptop stuff aside from that.
Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it’s the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.
Contributing to opensource libraries that make the whole tech field not collapse.
With mine, I’m working on a few things:
- Getting better at CLI, specifically tmux and helix. I’m ok at it now, but could use the practice.
- Learning Rust. It’s nice to not have distractions when I want to focus.
- Experimenting with some alternative OSs. I’m extremely conservative with my main machine, but I don’t really care about these laptops.
- Enjoying simplicity.
(* They are both the same person)

Business up top. Party down below.

:3 ok but sockdreams is the best website they have such cute socks!
oh, for systemd sake, why are there business representatives in my lemmy, i just wanted to rice up a laptop together
shoo, shoo, i’m not bying usa socks, i’m too close to Poland for that
I always wondered where people get their cool stickers from, epspecially the ‘niche ones’ like the Lemmy/Fediverse ones. Like, I found shops for EU/Germany and maybe I’m to stingy, but I don’t want to pay 50€ for 10 Stickers…
All’s you need is adhesive matte paper and a printer.
Optional: Cutting machine, Inkscape, GIMP
Well, I have none of those (I don’t even own a printer) :D
But you’re right buying the sheets and printing them in a copyshop is probably cheaper than buying individual stickers.

In Slovakia we have a stationery shop chain called FaxCopy that prints stickers as well. Rather than a limited number of stickers, you get to fill an entire page. For example, SRA3 page, matte exterior-grade (I assume that could be waterproof, they don’t explain that…) costs €5.47. I only tried the cheapest paper option so far. That includes the cutting. However there’s 2 ways, I prefer to kiss-cut over die-cut due to spacing, then just cut it up with scissors. For kiss-cut it’s 5mm and for die cut it’s 3cm.
Right, that brings me to another point, it is quite manual. You have to create the print template and cut template yourself. I used Inkscape for that. -
Stickermule. Right, so they’ve went fully pro-Trump, sending pro-Trump emails to customers, and now I even found they made some 100ft wide “Vote for Trump” sign and Trump’s statue.
Well, so why am I mentioning them? They’ve got a couple of promotions of 10 stickers for around $1 including shipping. Each can only be used once, but it’s possible to delete and re-create the account (needs a different phone number). Certainly doesn’t make them money.
Unfortunately, the latter is the company that acquired unixstickers.

My boss gave me 5 free T-420s. They all run Mint now.
Miss my thinkpads. One was IBM
The IBM branded ones are cooler. Too bad they are ancient now. The Lenovos are still pretty good computers though
Got the think pad and used to have the socks, but no Arch. Fedora and Debian for me.
plot twist: its the same person
except they don’t identify as a person anymorre
Same here. I have a ThinkPad, and don’t identify as a person. It just happens that I’m not a femboy (to my knowledge)
I can’t relate ; I’ve never had a think pad
I support their journey into systemhood 😌
This is either really transphobic or really trans positive :p
I just bought a T580 from eBay. When do the socks and skirt arrive?
It’s offered to you when you subscribe to Estrogen services
You mean stockings and kilt don’t you?
Need to install Arch first and, of course, tell everyone about it. One morning they will just appear on your doorstep. Happened to me, and everyone else I know.
I installed EndeavourOS. Does that count?
Think pad? Think again.
I don’t get the stickers thing.
The stickers thing has always been an “ick” for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.
That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.
Using one to cover up logo or brand etc is understandable tho.
Some people wanna customize their machine and don’t care about opsec.
I would never put stickers on my machine unless it was enough to completely cover it with hex stickers.

Heh, I have the arch sticker on that exact spot too:
That fox witch sticker is awesome, where did you get it?
The image comes from xenia.chimmie.k.vu, but it’s down for a while now :(
It’s archived on https://web.archive.org/web/20250524013830/https://xenia.chimmie.k.vu/
Description from the site:A vector drawing of Xenia with a witch hat, colorful broom, purple skirt, shoes and t-shirt along with the green “Linux” logo. She’s having a purple hair and the glasses. The background is fading from light purple to dark deep one. Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Made fully in Inkscape.
Ahh, the classic Firefox logo. How old is that sticker?
Also an old KDE logo. New, I just prefer the older logos.
what are the two things that are on top of thr arch linux logo and the bash logo?
(the rest i alr know)
(i may be using too much linux)
I am not sure what you mean by the 2 things, since there’s just one, and above one of the Bash logos is just Linux and Fediverse.
I’ve labeled them:
