What she didn’t see is me whispering in her mothers ear “I run Arch, by the way”. Then giving her a quick wink.

Ah, so that's why she pissed herself.

If you're a CrossFitter who uses Linux, which do you tell people about first?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago

That you are vegan of course

Actually the first order of business is establishing that you're an atheist.

When her parents are BSD users...

The most unbelievable thing about this meme is that linux nerd has a hot cat girlfriend.

Srry but u are just as undatable as Typescript or react developers - they just gonna keep learning new frameworks that do exactly the same thing spending all the time they have while ignoring the hot gf until she just dumps you for some plumber.

As a new Linux convert nerd with a hot girlfriend it does happen.

I mean. How would I go about proving that. I'm currently just imagining the look on her face when I tell her we need to take a picture with my lemmy username in it so randoms on the internet believe I have a hot girlfriend. lol We go to the beach this weekend though. soooooo I'll leave it up to you to remind me to do this lol

This really grinds my gears especially when working with the junior devs. They are always preaching about this new hot library and tried to refactor the whole app based on this cool article written by some well known developer. When I asked about their reasoning behind the chance they're only able to link the blogpost made saying that X is bad and Y is the way going forward. I asked them what situation where they actually cannot solve an issue using X in a project and whether they can prove that using Y is the panacea for all of our woes, they all go silent.

Afterwards I always tell them it's fine to look for new ways to do things. But before you go to try to propose such a big change at least write some PoC demonstrating the strength of the new thing when they have some downtime.
