    I’ll never forget dialling into a work meeting with the corporate infosec team who we needed some guidance from.

    Their rep shows up and it’s a fem-presenting person with pink cat-ear headphones.

    I’m like oh fuck they sent the big guns, this is exactly who we needed to talk to. And I was right, we got exactly what we needed.

    Not pictured: elitist chuds that are really angry about the trans and furry community, and think Linux and other open source communities were ruined by code of conducts.

    I think the abundance of trans women (≈ women who were raised as boys) is proof the social conditioning the only factor in why there aren’t more women in STEM fields. Women love this shit just as much as men, but they’re actively steered away from it.

    (Yes, women face other challenges beyond lack of exposure, but I think all of them can be traced back to social factors as well, such as how men are conditioned to treat women.)

    I would argue that’s the cool part. You also have the average hyper racist neo-reactionary Suckless fossid user who thinks daring to write in anything other than C is “gay” or smth.

      I had a discussion with someone who was of the belief that anyone that doesn’t build their own packages and reads the documentation is a lazy retard that doesn’t know what they’re installing on their computer.

      That was a fun conversation

      As a gay trans man, looking down on people who code in anything other than C is my toxic masculinity. Don’t let reactionaries take it away from me.

      You’re not a real man if you use an IDE. Vim and gcc were good enough for the founding fathers (D & R), they’re good enough for me.
