When I was younger, I didn't know any trans people running Linux servers. They were all cis admins.
@LilahTovMoon You knnow, I love a good pun! Thanks!!
I can't root for this joke
@IzabelaKaramia @LilahTovMoon sudo -root for this joke
@LilahTovMoon oh wow hahaha. yes
@LilahTovMoon @heathborders This is terrible and I love it
"When I was younger, I didn't know any trans people running Linux servers. They were all cis admins."
Actually it seems a bit unlikely that a person would run a Linux server if they would have a different gender than admin.
Shit.
When I was younger, I didn't know any trans people.
And there weren't any Linux servers.
@LilahTovMoon If I were near you, I would stand and do a slowly building clap applause here.
@LilahTovMoon
GROAN!!!!!!
@LilahTovMoon @evan In my younger days, the datacenters were full of gear from many different vendors. The cis admins were homogeneousphobic.
@LilahTovMoon How would you know if they were?
@miasmo @LilahTovMoon maybe realized that some were trans later?
@KewlCat @LilahTovMoon She said she didn't know any.
@miasmo @LilahTovMoon Oh. OK. My bad.
Maybe she knew because they all passed some sort of Cisco certification?
@LilahTovMoon That was my loudest groan in a month, well done.
@LilahTovMoon
Take your boost and favourite and get out.
@SapphicLawyer
@LilahTovMoon Well, some of us *thought* we were cis but as it turns out
That joke earned you a boost *and* a follow
@LilahTovMoon the world is missing more good Unix puns!!! Thank you!!!
@LilahTovMoon Shame! Shame! (Rings bell)
@LilahTovMoon Most of them being also sus admins.
@LilahTovMoon ugh! Well played
@LilahTovMoon good joke, but untrue. I knew someone who was probably a really early Linux adopter since many of the Amiga people jumped to Linux when c= died.
@LilahTovMoon I had no idea… all I know is that I worked with a transpiler, once.
@LilahTovMoon This is the pinnacle of nerdiness. Kudos from a former CompuServe Forum sysop.
They were just umasking.
@LilahTovMoon Maybe they just hadn't come out at the time
@LilahTovMoon @pseudonym I don't know your technical, literal situation, but this joke automatically earns you the title of Honorary Dad. Thank you for delighting my whole morning.
@middleclasstool@phire.place @LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt
I agree. Welcome to the geeky #dadjokes club
@LilahTovMoon i put my hand over the phone screen while i processed my anger
@LilahTovMoon in the olden days, half of the admin jobs were for eunuchs.
@LilahTovMoon Took me a while to get it, cis !
@LilahTovMoon @klove damnit, I blame you entirely, and unreasonably, for me reading this post just as I was cramming a handful of Goldfish in my face.
@LilahTovMoon I keep seeing this joke and keep only barely not throwing my phone across the room. One day I'm gonna fail and put a hole in the wall with a Motorola.
@LilahTovMoon Oh. My. God.
@LilahTovMoon this made me Lolsnort
@elaine I feel like this could be interpreted in two ways:
A) Now there are lots of trans people who are sys admins
B) Many who were "cis" back then later came out as trans
@LilahTovMoon *GROAN*.
I'm taking that.
