Well you can tell they don’t use arch because there’s no humblebrag sticker
This? This the car of a Slackware enjoyer.
“Linux femboy? Wha- oh nevermind.”
-Me after seeing way too many c/unixsocks posts.
It is a Subaru tho
I wonder if they have been a user since 1991. If so that’s pretty impressive. Given that would be the same year Linus send his infamous newsgroup email announcing his work to port Minix.
Infamous?
Haha, I guess it should be just famous, huh?
Are you even a Linux user if you don’t randomly wonder what operating system the person in front of you in traffic prefers? It’s a good thing that this person says “wonder no more.”
I actually don’t care to be honest.
Bold of you to assume a lemmy user would drive
I’ll have to get linux stickers for my bike instead. Maybe I should install a hub dynamo and boot a pi zero with my pedal power every time I ride. Linux on my Linux bike.
Not gonna lie, the extent to which the motor, controller, etc. are proprietary is an important consideration for me when buying an e-bike. For example, I would rather have one that can’t connect to my phone etc. at all than one that can but requires a proprietary app.
(I also care about things like weird proprietary headset and bottom bracket hardware, on e-bikes and regular bikes alike.)
I wasn’t even talking about ebikes, but yeah, closed up and glued-together “smart” ebikes seem like a bad idea.
Maybe it’s cause I’m a dad now but this really resonates with me.
He has to be aware how niche his passion is, but he does it anyway in defiance.
I hope he’s gone and cut the telemetry from this car… if not, I’d say poser.
This is the only way Bill Gates can go to the grocery store unaccosted.
If I had a car it would probably look like this
Real Linux aficionados don’t have cars; that would require leaving the basement.
I’m using Arch btw
you either go back to windows, or turn into this guy. There is no 3rd option.
Unfortunately, MacOS is far more popular than it should be.
I deliberately said Windows instead of Mac, because all the apple users I know are the type of people who will never, ever try linux in the first place.
Yeah, that makes sense.
As someone who’s been a fan of Free Software since I first heard of it in the late '90s, I used and recommended Macs in the early 2000s because (at time, at least) Apple was leaning into the Unix-nature and BSD underpinnings of the thing and coming out with stuff like XServe and Automator.
Not so much these days, though. Apple’s pivot in ideology towards locked-down consumer crap like iOS and the App Store – even going so far as to ditch bash for zsh just because they hated GPLv3 – ruined it.
At least it follows Unix conventions so it’s real computing
This is the coolest kid in New Jersey.
I think, I think, this person uses Linux.
They probably use macos
I wonder if he uses arch.
At least one sticker would say so, so he’s isn’t
I don’t know who it is but they seem less inclined to talk about Linux than most users
I am Spartacus
No. I am Spartacus.
