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!! 🫂☺️

@LilahTovMoon

@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.

Public

@LilahTovMoon

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
Oh, well done! :flan_hurrah::flan_XD:

Public

@LilahTovMoon How would you know if they were?

Public

@miasmo @LilahTovMoon maybe realized that some were trans later?

Public

@KewlCat @LilahTovMoon She said she didn't know any.

Public

@miasmo @LilahTovMoon Oh. OK. My bad.
Maybe she knew because they all passed some sort of Cisco certification?

Public

@LilahTovMoon That was my loudest groan in a month, well done.

@LilahTovMoon
Take your boost and favourite and get out.
@SapphicLawyer

Public

@LilahTovMoon Well, some of us *thought* we were cis but as it turns out 🤣

Public

@LilahTovMoon

That joke earned you a boost *and* a follow 😀 💜

Quiet public

@LilahTovMoon
Groooaaaaan

Public

@LilahTovMoon the world is missing more good Unix puns!!! Thank you!!!

Public

@LilahTovMoon Shame! Shame! (Rings bell)

Public

@LilahTovMoon Most of them being also sus admins.

Public

@LilahTovMoon ugh! Well played

Public

@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.

Public

@LilahTovMoon I had no idea… all I know is that I worked with a transpiler, once.

Public

@LilahTovMoon This is the pinnacle of nerdiness. 😂 Kudos from a former CompuServe Forum sysop.

Quiet public

@LilahTovMoon

They were just umasking.

Public

@LilahTovMoon Maybe they just hadn't come out at the time

Public

@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.

Public

@LilahTovMoon i put my hand over the phone screen while i processed my anger

Public
Public

@LilahTovMoon in the olden days, half of the admin jobs were for eunuchs.

Public

@LilahTovMoon Took me a while to get it, cis !

Public

@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.

Public

@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.

Public

@LilahTovMoon Oh. My. God.😂

Public

@LilahTovMoon this made me Lolsnort 😂

Quiet public
@LilahTovMoon they were, not anymore
Quiet public

@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

Quiet public
@LilahTovMoon the true meaning must be found by the reader.
Public

@LilahTovMoon *GROAN*.
I'm taking that.
