Underwaterbob,

My right index finger still has an indent from using the clit-mouse to play Starcraft on a Thinkpad 25 years ago.

DavidGarcia,

the aliens watching me for entertainment: oh no, he has installed gentoo and qubes, he is too far gone

smb,

woman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don’t see anything wrong there either.

just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.

or carry them with you when visiting friends.

They might be able to carry you.

milicent_bystandr,

I can’t carry your trauma, Ma’am, but I can carry you!

They probably dont want to

calm down honey, it’s a joke.

milicent_bystandr,

That’s no way to talk about my horse! Look how sad you’ve made him.

smb,

calm down and see it as a joke. *ggg

would make a nice tshirt =)

trannus_aran,

until their egg cracks and they put on the thigh highs :P

roguetrick,

I don’t think you need to be trans to have a desire for the wonderful vascular benefits of stockings.

trannus_aran,

oh for sure, but judging by unixsocks they seem to be correlated. At this point I’m considering “interested in Linux” to be One Of The Signs™️ lol

MetaCubed,

I don’t think egg jokes are healthy for the trans community homie

trannus_aran,

prime directive’s a psyop. Egg as a concept helped me and a lot of my friends find out who we are

MetaCubed, (edited )

Frankly idgaf about the prime directive (edit: this is perhaps an exaggeration, I meant I wasn’t necessarily referring to the prime directive) , but as an enby person, I think going around saying “doing this makes you an egg” is pretty antithetical to people not wanting to be judged for not complying with the gender roles that correspond with their assigned gender.

trannus_aran,

I’m an enby too, and the point remains! I think what gets lost in translation here is that “hey, this is kinda eggy” =/= “hey, you’re an egg”. At this point, I’m really starting to see this is as a willful misinterpretation by reading the former AS the latter (not saying you’re doing this, but a lot of the self-hating folks who see transness as some sort of curse seem to be overrepresented in the population who react negatively to seeing anything as “eggy”)

MetaCubed,

I’m going to very sincerely disagree. You can see it as misinterpretation if you like, but I believe there’s functionally no difference between the two statements you’ve provided and as long as the right is trying to come up with any excuse to outlaw our existence, its optically beneficial to come up with ways of educating people who may be “eggs” about being trans/enby that are informative, but are less likely to fuel a deranged groomer witchhunt. I’m glad it helped you and your friends, but given the political climate, I believe we should avoid terms that endanger us more than needed.

Continue using it, I certainly won’t stop you. But I’m not going to start.

Blopen_scr0pen,

A.K.A. get groomed by people with a femboy fetish

wallmenis,

What if I do both?

nightwatch_admin,

What, doing your therapist and arch installs?

magikmw,

Gonna tell me you’re gonna install grass on arch (btw) next.

mouse,
@mouse@midwest.social avatar

grass is on the AUR… aur.archlinux.org/packages/grass

magikmw,

I’m not even surprised.

DriftinGrifter,

Fuck that’s relatable I bought one like 4 days ago and it just arrived :'D

Titou,

Congrats! What model ?

DriftinGrifter, (edited )

T470p i5-7300hq

It was sold as a t470 i5-7300u buut the PC itself had 470p written on it and the chip I saw when swapping the thermal paste matches the i5-7300hq

Titou,

Nice, x240 owner here

DriftinGrifter,

Cool just testedthre laptop and it boots w.out issues

DriftinGrifter,

Its got lan issues :`C the driver isn’t functioning :(

UsernamesAreDifficult,

I mean, if it helps why not! I honestly really do have a lot of fun tinkering with Linux, it’s one of the big draws of the OS to me.

milicent_bystandr,

Because mumble mumble no Windows into your soul

UsernamesAreDifficult,

I don’t like Windows. They leak a lot of air, they are expensive to replace, and you usually just end up covering them anyway.

I also don’t like the OS much either. lol

My submarine functions so much better since I nailed them all shut.

donio,

Costs a lot less than therapy too.

seth,

It’s hard to find a therapist who meshes well with you and can help you make progress, but a busted Lenovo takes to Arch better than Saint Louis.

RiikkaTheIcePrincess,
@RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social avatar

I feel like I need to get back into Gentoo just to add a lil spice to the horde of Arch users around here :P

Still gonna use Arch on my laptop, bytheway 😅

Unlike therapy, installing Arch on a Thinkpad works more often than not

nightwatch_admin,

I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.

pukeko,

Get a refurb T14 for (relatively) nothing before going hardcore.

But I need therapy after installed Arch

MystikIncarnate,

And I’ll do it again.

Diplomjodler,

I tried going to a dominatrix but that just wasn’t enough punishment.

Aggravationstation,

Was LFS a bit too much?

Diplomjodler,

Oh yes, Mommy! I’ve been a very naughty boy!

KillingTimeItself,

i own four xx20 series thinkpads. One of which has debian with i3wm, the other three dont have anything installed atm. Sue me ik.

xx20 series is the best tbh. The only thing maybe arguably better is x80 series, due to the more modern processors and actual features over the xx20 series. xx40

my w520 with an i7 2720qm or whatever the fuck is it is is genuinely better than any intel mobile cpu that isn’t quad core. AND it’s socketed.

looking for a cheap xx40s (or p it’s whichever one is better i cant remember) just for the completion, as well as an xx80 just to have one with more modern hardware, but my xx20 is everything i’ll need in a laptop tbh. I would also like to get an x220 at some point.

naming legend for anybody wondering.

  • x - model type, w, t, x, etc
  • x - the device type, 4, 5, 2, etc usually screen size related
  • n - device model? Release related.
  • n - 0, just the number zero, anything that isn’t a zero is e waste im pretty sure.
3w0,

Xx30s are nice with classic keyboard mod

KillingTimeItself,

i’ve heard, but honestly, is there anything interesting about them other than the like 2% performance uplift? And the fact that batteries are only semi-compatible between them. I suppose they might be more power efficient? I have no clue, if you have any knowledge it would be appreciated.

My w520 with 4 cores still smokes anything that isn’t like 9th gen mobile in terms of multi core. Thanks intel very cool.
