Finally got some programming socks

Received my first 2 sets of programming socks. This one is black/purple, the other set is black/green. The more stripes, the better boost you get for programming, right?

I've been a programmer for many years but now I can finally go to the next level!

No shit, when you search Amazon for "programming socks", those come up. Just tried it
- Well, they are socks that boost your programming. So it makes sense, right? (I think it's pretty funny too that it's marketed like that on Amazon)
Those calves tell me this programmer taps their foot when they debug. Or when they think about being a cat boy 😺
- Por qué no los dos? haha
  
  I have the big case of restless leg syndrome. I never really noticed my calves but I guess I do move my legs all day every day, so it makes sense? I cannot not move my legs while listening to music.
Disgusting. Kubuntu!?
- Well, shit just works? :)
  
  The reason I run it is because I hate gnome, and I can have a stable system without it becoming a second job. If I want to run a newer application, I can just use Nix if it's not in the Ubuntu repositories.
  
  A friend of mine uses NixOS daily, but it's far too much time I would need to spend to keep it working, and security updates on NixOS are just a nightmare. It's great for one-off program runs though.
  
  I was just kidding, it was a misleading joke that starts off implying your socks are disgusting (they're not) but the punchline is your operating system.
  
  In the past I was the Arch btw meme guy, nowadays I install Mint and get the fuck on with my day. Just stick with what works, you're right. :-)
Welcome to the club :)
- Thank you! Your photo also looked very cute!
  
  Aww thank you :3
Two problems, you're not using Arch and I don't see a Blåhaj :3
- Shame on me! I guess I need to wear the programming socks more, and they will steer me in the right direction.
  
  A good sign that the thighs highs are leading you in the right direction is if you feel the urge to purchase skirts, look cute, and be silly :3
are those two displays hooked up to your laptop?
- The left 2 displays are hooked up to my desktop (specs on middle display), and the laptop is standalone.
  
  I control both using 1 keyboard and mouse, using Symless's Synergy program (version 1). There is zero latency, as I have both connected to a network switch below my desk.
