I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.

For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.

Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).

I recommend Bernadettes channel on this topic: link

Welcome to the world of B2B where 98% of products are listed nowhere and of those products you get a listing the price is either hidden or not the price anyone really pays.

Source on that? As far as I know China stopped importing plastic waste as they realized it was too expensive for the state as they are burdened with the externalities, i.e. cleanup.

We are the Pinnacle of creation! Nothing can be better than us by definition! Even the thought that a mere complex computer can be a person is heresy and absurd and can only be answered by ridicule and mockery. /s

Unfortunately a lot of professional philosophers think a bit like the above :(

Well shit I’ve one for professional work and one for open source / bad code practice experiments… Am I in trouble?!

I’m not from the US but I get a lot of drive by news from over there and every time I hear of Fetterman it’s in the context of some medical thing. Be it depression, stroke and now this. I don’t know shit about his political stances but I think he deserves a break!

Btw his last name looks like “fetter Mann” which in German literally means fat man, which sounds kinda rude :/

For the record I did not down vote but I can see how people dislike this kind of over enthusiasm for drugs still in trial. Many people got burned before by false hope :(

Why shouldn’t they count? It’s literally testing a nuclear weapon. The clock does not say: “Time since the last detonation of a nuclear weapon”.

Edit: But one could argue that nuclear weapons get tested all the time without any kind of detonation. These should count too IMHO.

Edit: just read another article on the tests. They happen to design new weapons with them which makes them not tests to see if the nukes still work like I thought.

Yep optix works on Linux. Blender is also generally faster in Linux btw.

It is and it’s a nice picture does remind me of the time I was in Finland.

Is it just me or is this image extremely low res?

Fair enough

What has your sanity ever done for you?!

Single board computer or SBC for short.

Not only children. I know a guy that passes out (or almost does) when they try to inject him with needles.

In what way is Firefox a snitch?

Google and many other phone manufacturers contributed a lot to the upstream kernel because of android.

This sounds exactly what I’m searching for then. Besides that I don’t know Zig and would prefer C/C++ I only hear good or familiar things. Bspwm is also not the most bug free wm when it comes to visual glitches.

Also not beeing so monolithic and relying on external programs is actually a major plus point for me. Actually I really dislike how Wayland (or rather most compositor implementations) fused everything into one project.

I think I’ll give it a try at some point.

River looks nice, I use bspwm for years now and always was in search of another highly configurable wm/compositor for Wayland. I hate the i3/sway way of doing things i.e. beeing very opinionated while pretending not to and doing things almost like a DE.

On first glance this seems to be it! With riverctl replacing bspc. It even allows external programs for the layout and the config is by default just a shell script.

Are there any known issues you encountered or quirks? Would you recommend it to me?
