i envy the functionality of normal people, until i see someone engaging in a "normal" relationship. Then i immediately remember that i don't have things so bad, and that i should focus on what makes my life enjoyable.
Anyway, i have i3 to configure, and other problems to ignore, i will go about my day now.
Her life is normal. The depiction on the television is fiction. No reason to be envious
Build the world you want to live in.
Does that mean you are not happy in your own life?
Maybe yes maybe no.
I still don't envy a situation in television that is so unreal like a prince (or something similar) dancing with his dream woman (I assume). It's so surreal tgat I can't take it serious and can't envy it.

i want nerdy gf smh
she smells like greasy hair and rants about random statistics she finds interesting when you're trying to fall asleep
I have a hard time telling if you're trying to pain a negative picture or add to it.
Just telling the facts
I like your facts.
Have nerdy gf, can only recommend.
You want to make entire lemmy envy you?
Lol. The first thing I ever asked her was "PC or console?" She replied "PC". The rest is history.
Every once I a while she asks me what would have happened if she answered "Console" and obviously I reply "We wouldn't be together!"
Ona serious note, it was something I promised myself, that I would only be with a woman who was into gaming. I wouldn't even consider someone who didn't share it as a hobby.
Previous relationships had shown me how important it was.
Had similar thoughts myself working in a computer store, hearing guys say things like "My wife would never let me..."
The easy way to have both is:
- be trans girl
- get a gf who's also a nerd
- not straight romance like on TV, but who cares, lesbians are better anyway.
Straight woman using linux is pure fiction, i mean, if nerds will see one in real life, she'll have to fight them off like in world war z
I have genuinely never heard of a straight woman using Linux. They all seem to be trans
Did you mean that you've never heard of a non-trans woman using Linux?
cis is the word you are looking for
Ah yes, you're right.

I've worked with a few before.
The thing is that unfortunately women receive a lot of harassment online, so they'll often use a gender-neutral or male-sounding username online, and maybe won't post as much so as to not draw attention to themselves.
I'm not sure why it's more common to see trans women in online communities though. Maybe in general they're more thick-skinned or are less worried about posting online, or maybe just spend more time online in general? Not sure.
massive correlation with being trans, and being super adhd/asd/french/some other mental disorder (having one disorder means you have a strong possibility of having others, they're all extremely tied into each other, including gender dysphoria) which are things that cause you to be significantly more likely to spend a majority of your time on the internet and on obscure/nerdy/highly derived forums for various complicated and straightforward reasons.
being a social outcast also may push people towards corners of the internet, and trans people are often social outcasts even if they don't have some other disability causing them to be (especially those from more rural/more conservative or religious areas)
This is a great comment, and I should have said something similar in my comment. Thanks for writing it.
Plenty of trans folks go harder on gender expression online because they have difficulties to do so IRL, even if being female presenting tends to result in more issues.
There's dozens of us, I swear! I know a few more too! I also load it on to hardware I upcycle for charity and I know a few went to women. :) Everyone can get comfortable with Mint. It's easier than Windows these days.

IRL I only know of one person who uses Linux as a desktop computer.

I knew one once, but she was borderline abused into it by her boyfriend. The same guy made me a linux user. He is quite succesful at that, if only he knew how to take a shower.
They don't know they don't have freedom.
one of these days i am going to start walking up to random people in public and whisper this statement in their ear and then walk away.
Now you're just confusing cause and effect. Your life doesn't need to be Linux because of some external event that sucks, it's because of Linux that your life sucks.
Linux and FOSS are some of the nicest things on earth. If Linux or other FOSS didn't exist my life would would be worse.
it depends on how you construct things i suppose. I don't use linux because it ruined my life, i ruined my life, and as a result, i now use linux.
