(De Lijn fangirl) @queerthoughts@tech.lgbtMy pronouns are they/she, except if you're on Windows, then they're they\she
@queerthoughts does the old NT POSIX subsystem count as "on Windows"
(De Lijn fangirl) @queerthoughts@Rairii Good question. For the purposes of this overheard joke, I would assume so. But I'm too young to have worked with it
@queerthoughts here's a really dumb trick I learned years ago
the baguette emoji points the same way as filesystem slash in the system emoji font on every major operating system 
@ben @queerthoughts I always start my scripts with *hash bang baguette bin baguette bash*
@khleedril I need a pop punk song with this post as part of the lyrics.
@blausand@chaos.social@ben @queerthoughts
The one thing you will always think of whenever you see the baguette emoji from
NOW
on…
PS.: OMG it's really pointing left on Windows /o\
@rcombs @queerthoughts @kouhai Macintosh HD:they:she
@rcombs @queerthoughts @kouhai Damn, a DOS/V reference. Nice.
@screambiogenesis @queerthoughts @kouhai modern windows does this (renders \ as ¥) when the locale is set to japanese
@rcombs @queerthoughts @kouhai Ah, interesting. My only frame of reference is the super-old DOS/DOSesque era, but I suppose it makes sense that they held onto the convention.
@me@cysioland.pl@queerthoughts please don't do this to me after I had to put some machines in AD
@queerthoughts@tech.lgbt if it's /they/she, what drive letter would the windows one be on
(De Lijn fangirl) @queerthoughts@astro E, since transfem :3
@queerthoughts@tech.lgbt good choice, why didn't i think of that XD
@queerthoughts my pronouns are ae/they, but since pronoun multiplication commutes that’s the same as they\ae
@Starcross@misskey.heonian.org@queerthoughts@tech.lgbt windows when you type in a network path but use /'s instead of \'s:
OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO, THIS IS BLASPHEMY
@queerthoughts took me longer to understand than I would like to admit 
@queerthoughts my pronouns on Windows are CR/LF
@brawaru@mstdn.social@queerthoughts do you mean \\?\they\she
@queerthoughts in ms Teams channel they might be "they|she", but the activity notification will correctly show "they\she".
And yes, "a friend" spent half an hour recently debugging a copy pasted regex,
@dani@void.danitheskunk.com@queerthoughts they:she on mac os classic?
@queerthoughts I hate \love this so much
@mae@meow.woem.cat@queerthoughts@tech.lgbt *cut to @zentibel@catcatnya.com using NTFS tone indicators* \j
@queerthoughts What about ARC path names?
multi(1)pronouns(0)they(0)she(1)
@lkundrak@metalhead.club@queerthoughts my pronouns on windows are CON\CON
@queerthoughts little known fact: MSDOS 2 supported either / or \ in the kernel filesystem APIs it introduced. It was COMMAND.COM and later tools which entrenched \ as path separator
@akkavodol@libretooth.gr@queerthoughts that's why you should always use the standard pronoun library instead of writing them as a string.
@akkavodol @queerthoughts maybe when they get around to adding the pronoun set that only my friends use to refer to me, until then, i'm stuck with rolling my own
@akkavodol@libretooth.gr@wruffian @queerthoughts I'd think any half-decent pronoun standard library lets you declare your own pronouns.
@queerthoughts i dont get this joke, but I'm gonna assume it has something to do with the /
So...
For Multics they're they>she.
On TOPS-20/VMS they're [they.she].
And classic Mac OS requires they:she.
Apparently on Lisa it would be they-she.
@oliverwiegers@infosec.exchange@queerthoughts so you identify as a path?
@Sidneys1@infosec.exchange@queerthoughts she/they -> C:\they
(De Lijn fangirl) @queerthoughts@wmealing Hello I use CON/LPT1 pronouns
@queerthoughts I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're referring to as She, is in fact, THEY/She, or as I've recently taken to calling it, THEY+She. She is not an identity unto itself, but rather another free pronoun of a fully functioning THEY gender made useful by the THEY radlibs, she utilities and plural system components comprising a full ID as defined by BUSSY.

@queerthoughts Many human people run a modified version of the THEY gender every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of THEY which is widely used today is often called She, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the THEY gender, developed by the THEY Project.

@skunxum@chitter.xyz@queerthoughts So they is your AD domain, but what's your SFW domain 
Yes, I am implying that Active Directory is not safe for work
