      I think it went like this:

      • Linux is highly customizable
      • customizing or "ricing" your Linux machine became a hobby
      • weebs got into the hobby, infesting the space with anime waifus and other degenerate cartoons
      • some time during the weeb infestation, thigh high socks became a recurring theme
      • gay/trans programmers sarcastically posted themselves in thigh high socks
      • gay/trans programmers who didn't get the sarcasm unironically adopted thigh high socks
      • Rust was invented

      So you see, it's just another example of the kind of tragedies that can befall society when sarcasm isn't clearly labeled on the internet.

          Debatable. I'd argue that they're FOSS-specific

            You can only use Apple Branded iSocks™.

            If you want to use normal socks you need an adapter.

                    The point is that you're looking at the wrong programmers. You need to look at gay programmers, and your life will change for the better.

                          Apparently wiki identifies it as a "pointing stick".

                          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick

                          ...also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

                                  I have never once understood these sock references and jokes. Never seen a programmer wearing thigh high socks. Never associated socks with specific programming languages.

                                  What’s the punch that I’m missing here?

                                  https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/programming-socks

                                  TL;DR: It all seems to have started with a (possibly deliberately) misnamed pair of socks for sale on Amazon. They began showing up as suggestions when people searched for programming-related items.
