Comment on Do linux users have wives?

I am the wife.
Unrelated, why aren’t there more women in Linux spaces? We’ll never get to the bottom of it I fear. I haven’t read the comments in this thread yet, I’m sure they’re all completely uncontroversial.

because linux users are tech oriented, the market is barely touched by linux, and tech oriented people are disproportunately male.

You mean to tell me lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/unixsocks aren’t women? Fooled by Rule 37 again.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 days ago
they are probably non cisgender, and that’s as far as I’m going with this statement.

I was being cheeky, lol. Thanks for the update. Was not intending to come off as trying to start a serious conversations about gender identity. I debated throwing a /s but figured the rule 37 reference was enough.

We need more information to reach people. So far I’ve only seen people be into Linux when they have less social life growing up so they spend time online (not in tiktoks or such like now).
Since most people hearing about Linux from class or other people only hear about the bad aspects or how hard it is if they even hear about it. When I came to US university, I was so surprised noone knew about linux or cared enough except handful of people. And most people did it for work (super computer people, grad students) that didn’t like it and express their opinions openly.

An actually helpful answer is that there is a creator on tiktok called offlain who makes a series of videos called “try not to get scared scariest stories”. The series has a rotating cast of characters such as Mr teeth, the meatworm, evil knife guy, the fuck you guy, Jeffs the killer, and The Creature. The creature is a cow that the narrator is scared of. Here’s a popular The Creature story: I am so excited for the movie, I exclaims with excitement. But little did I know it would be a feature, a creature feature. Featuring… The Creature."

You could still have a wife yourself, with whichever licensing agreement the two of you negotiate.
