        t4t - trans for trans = two trans people dating

        polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other. For example, in a 4 person polycule, maybe person a, c, and d are romantically together, but person a doesn’t date b. Person b ONLY dates person c. Etc.

        Some people make memes/jokes about polycules, like “The weakest one of the polycule gets kicked off the island” and stuff like that, or this fascinating Tumblr heritage post (links to RedLib instance) about a polycule commune cult in Portland.

        So in this case the OP feels that using NixOS is like being in a polycule with a bunch of trans people, or that it will encourage you to transition and join a polycule.

          Polycule doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.
          If you look at a molecule, typically you’ll have clusters where each node is connected to each other node, and a branch or two reaching out, maybe with other clusters here and there.

            Yeah, that’s why I said:

            polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other.

            Funny though, your comment made me finally realize why it’s called polyCULE. I had no idea it came from molecule.

          Holy hell, what did I just read? That link is Internet gold. People don’t believe it’s real, but I have seen enough that it might be after all.

    Went from Windows directly to Arch and I just became an anarchist and (I’d argue) more masculine. Guess it’s less about Trans and more about becoming more true to yourself.

      Sounds familiar, although i now use Guix. For me though i felt like it was more cyberpunk’s fault for turning me towards anarchy. Johnny Silverhand be spitting some facts lol.

        Ha! I have yet to play cyberpunk, but it’s definitely on my list. As for anarchism, I think my move to Linux recently has been more of a solidification of my radicalization that was seeded by my love for punk and strongly cultivated by my time in the Marine Corps. I think the general public would be shocked by how many of us become Communist/Anarchist/Socialist because of our time in the US military.

          Oh that’s interesting. I think i saw a thread on reddit earlier this week where they also talked about how many people that have been in the military before became very anti-government afterwards. I can definitely recommend cyberpunk, especially now that it’s all patched up. I should probably replay it myself at some point, cause i haven’t played the dlc yet, and i also finished the game right before they did the huge skill tree overhaul. Also, not really a big spoiler or anything, but Silverhand also has a military background, so i guess it all lines up lol.

        Okay, tbf, I’m using cachyos as opposed to raw dogging Arch from the start. I’ve also used some Linux distros in the distant past, though I can’t remember the few outside of one of the early Ubuntu releases. Also, I’ve done a good smattering of IT work and programming throughout my life, so while I’m already fine with jumping into something having no idea what’s going on, I already had enough experience to not be too worried about things.

    OpenSUSE user since about 2005/2006.

    My headcanon (in this theme) is OpenSUSE being a tall androgynous-y female tomboy cosplaying as a strait-laced male exec done up in the latest tailored pinstripe German banker fashion, including matching waistcoat and fedora, with black trenchcoat suavely draped over the shoulders and hands in black leather gloves. And with the hair having just enough length and curl to be barely toeing past the line of decorum.

    All real trans girls use NixOS

    Source : I’m a trans girl. Me and literally every other trans girl I know uses NixOS (and I know several dozens)

      It seems like there’s some universal truths in the tech industry: trans women use NixOS and code in Rust, and a lot of network admins are furries.
