  1. Geebus, having #Linux predominantly displayed on one’s profile apparently causes the, “when will Bozo introduce the assisted butt-wiping service for #Amazon Prime subscribers” crowd to ASSume one is a “#FOSSBro”. Whatever that is. I think THAT may explain how tRump got the votes that he claimed. That & an assist from #techbro Elonia Muskrat.

    I don’t code. I use the most Windoz-like version of Linux coz it just works & does anything Windoz ever did for me.

    I AM an #AOC & Bernie bro tho!

  3. I learned a new term here today.

    It is "fossbro" which is very similar to "techbro" but poor.

    #FossBro #TechBro #Sociology #Anthropology

  5. CW: FOSS Bro rant, Linux

    "Everyone should learn the CLI tools on their #Linux computer. To not want to do so is deeply problematic…"

    Suuure thing #FossBro, my neighbor Edgar who just wants to format his USB stick will surely benefit from learning everything about lsblk, blkid, fdisk, parted, ls, cd, sudo, mkfs, /dev, filesystems (ext4, btrfs, exfat, f2fs…) etc…

    Definitely more beneficial to his life than "go there, click there, finished". Absolutely, there must be something wrong with Edgar! 😤

  7. Reasons to still (begrudgingly) use Windows:
    n: that one app;
    n−1: hardware;
    n−2: games;

    1: Don’t want to be mistaken for a #fossbro.

  8. CW: FOSSbros

    I think the term "gnubro" should exist as a variant of FOSSbro.

    Quick question, not to be a total gadfly, but why ? They're getting increasingly greasy, from what I can tell.

  12. @alcinnz I'll be using the term #FOSSBro as I want the #FOSS community to discuss this type of negative behavior.

    But to be clear, I'll never use this term towards any one person as that is just as bad! I'm not here for a fight.

    The FOSS community should be talking about it's culture and what it wants to see more of. Labeling what we don't want is a step in the that direction.

  14. @emacsen @trysdyn #Fossbro is bewildering to me. I guess it makes sense if you're talking about "I'm the shitty sysadmin at my Dad's lumberyard who installed $DISTRO once but mostly puts windows on whatever rando laptop I fished out of Best Buy last week, and I'm on Reddit, and I have opinions."

  15. #fossbro is as imaginary a construct as #berniebro. "I'm going to celebrate landing that pull request by rolling coal and smashing a beer can on my forehead," said no-one, ever.
