Can someone tell me where all the trans FOSS devs/enthusiasts hang out IRL, I need friends 🥺
~Signed, a lonely trans FOSS enthusiast (not a programmer sadly, maybe I just need thigh high socks…)
FOSS devs/enthusiasts
hang out IRL
I’m laughing but it hurts 😭
Trans dev here, I hear that hacker spaces aren’t bad places to look. I wouldn’t know though, too shy to actually show up -.-
Hey! I’m a trans FOSS enthusiast studying computer science and I hope to be a FOSS dev sometime in the future.
I stay inside pretty much all day. In terms of hanging out irl, the closest I do is vc lol. It actually would be nice to hang out with someone irl though.
I’ve installed a lot of software.
Not once did I give a fleeting fuck about the meat around the brain who made it.
Nice brain, though. THANKS, BRAIN!!
One of my research interests has been a group in antiquity with similar attitudes about the mind body divide, including talking about gender with things like “when you make the male and female into a single one so the male isn’t male and the female isn’t female.”
One of my favorite lines about the body is:
If the flesh came into being because of spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the body, that is a marvel of marvels.
Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this poverty.
Great wealth dwelling in poverty indeed.
The body still needs feeding, though. Support open source developers!
(And trans rights, we don’t want the BRAIN to potentially feel uncomfortable in there)
Shout out to the two Legends I’ve encountered while learning about or building projects:
Christine Lemmer-Webber is the lead dev of Activitypub
Leah Rowe is Libre Boot
Alternate version:
> use the internet
> it works
> thank you furries
(for whatever reason, there seems to be an overrepresentation of furries in network admin roles)
I don’t plan on actually doing this, but would this be appropriate to send to a trans coworker who I work with, but don’t actually have a relationship with outside of work? We don’t have any history of sharing memes or anything.
For context, she’s one of the senior devops engineers at my company
I would say get to know her more first and then see what kind of humour she has.
If you have to ask, no
Personally, I wouldn’t want to receive a meme that assumes some level of familiarity with me from a co-worker if we never had that relationship before.
Why should your choice of operating system have anything to do with any other aspect of your identity?
I think it’s identifying the person as trans that’s the issue. That’s my biggest hesitation; I almost guarantee she would appreciate the meme. But if I were to actually transition (egg_irl) I don’t think I would want people who I wasn’t very familiar with identifying me as trans even if it was obvious. I just wanted to hear some people’s thoughts here
I don’t get it, can someone explain?
There seems to be an over representation of visible trans women among independent open source programers.
I have not seen a single piece of reliable evidence to show that this is true. There may be a louder minority in that specific area, but so far nothing indicates it is an actual overrepresentation.
> hate ur job
> follow the white rabbit
> escape the matrix
> thank you trans woman

I might be an old millenial, but I didn’t get the joke
What does Linux have to do with lgbtq+? I’ve only ever seen the connections on this website but I still don’t get it.
That community is missing a few screws, at least they’re amusing themselves
