To be fair, “that I ever met” is doing some lifting there. Kinky trans&nb programmers are a minority of a minority of a minority. But a few of the best programmers I’ve met over my years while doing low-level C and C++ systems work just happened to be in that demographic… And wow: they were REALLY good at what they did. One was the kind of person who earned the right to wear a clip-on fluffy tail to the office, and no one would talk shit about. Different times, different places, but they were all the kind of people who would make competent management sweat about the low bus factor.

The company I keep tends to be quite private, but there’s no shortage of “it” pronouned puppygirls doing significant work in Linux spaces; god bless them. Nix has a lot for some reason… Also cybersec communities.

Funny that the pride flag is on the left when the most impressive Linux devs I’ve ever met all did their best work while caged and plugged in thigh highs but… Whatever

“Wow these demographics are wild… My social media platform OnlyFeds is completely flooded with preteen girls and violent anarchists… wtf?”

Now now, let’s not make a false equivalency. Democrats want you to be a wage slave, while Republicans want you to be a regular slave. Cruelty is the point for Republicans, but merely a regrettable necessity for Democrats. The dems aren’t all bad, and can actually nice when they aren’t being incentivized not to be: Democrats will be mean to you if it means they get money and power, where as Republicans will spend money and power for the opportunity to be mean to you. So there really are important distinctions here…

I’ve always had weird issues with SMB like ghost files, issues with case sensitivity (zfs pool), it dropping out and me having to reboot to re-establish the connection… Since switching to Linux and using NFS, it’s been almost indistinguishable from a native drive for my casual use (including using a ssd pool as a steam library…)

The problem is that any strikes put an account at risk. There have been instances of accounts being knocked off overnight by frivolous strikes from one claimant, or multiple claimants just happening to coincide. The title was intentionally alarming, or sensational, but not really clickbait.
