The only one who can decide your computer is gay is the computer itself.

I named* my first self-built computer after him! Does this make that machine gay? They put chemicals in the bytes that turn the friggin’ hardware gay!
*call me a weirdo but I do often name stuff like household appliances and my trees.

Technically true, but as an admin with root priviledges, I can access system private keys and directly manage it’s identity, such that it’s choice is usually what I told it to want.
Tangent, boy I cannot wait for neurolink to let Grok in my brain. I’m sure it will lead to lots of new ways of thinking for me. 🙃😶😶🙄

The gayest computer that ever existed was that cunty little bastard on Courage the Cowardly Dog.

I do think that this makes you weird (affectionate), and I hope you never change, because your weirdness is wonderful.

My friend’s mom occasionally gives full names, like forename+surname and uses them as such

I don’t go so far. Only my pets get a surname, and it’s the family’s surname. (Some of the household appliances have kind of melodramatic names though, specially if they break often. Like Solineuza, the washing machine.)

Fair - what I said was kind of ambiguous. But yeah, “self-built” as “I bought a computer-of-Theseus 20y ago, and as I’ve bought new parts nothing of the original remains, so it’s a new computer.”
