From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Apple beat by 2 people.
2 women, none the less :)
why did you feel the need to highlight they were women? It feels like you’re implying women are worse at programming, devaluing their effort.
Uh, no, because women are underrepresented in the software industry and there's a clear bias against non-males in this area. Only 5% of developers identify as female[1].
I only meant to celebrate diversity, and give a fuck you to this techbro society. I hope more non-males tune in to Asahi Lina's livestreams and realize to not give up an interest in programming because of their gender.

Exactly this. And it shows a good example for other underrepresented genders that there are others too in the field and they are absolutely amazing; seriously in the top 1% of the devs.
There is no proof to be a bias against non-male in the programming world. As far as I know, any country regardless of their gender equality effort up to a certain point have basically the same women to men ratio, which means it isn't the action of some oppression or shaming. Worse, countries that are less egalitarian are a more equal ratio of women and men, like India, as opposed to a lot of western countries. It'll never change unless you manage to brainwash a good amount of women into thinking they like programming, despite them not liking it.
Sexism is not constrained to a single nationality, and the patriarchy is international.
Maybe you’re not aware, but what you just posted was a misogynistic screed. Do better.
