While I use river as daily driver and am very happy with it, I feel people who like Hyprland will find river to be rather limited and barren in terms of looks and availability of plugins.

I've heard good things about VanillaOS. Not used it myself though.

With their package manager apx, you can use software from pretty much any distro in VanillaOS (copied from link above):

Apx is a tool that allows you to generate work environments based on any Linux distribution and seamlessly integrates them with the system in a convenient way ...

I don't have anything useful to say but that sounds fixing dystopian.

I clearly didn’t read it.

I love the honesty. It's really refreshing to see someone take accountability instead of becoming defensive.

I don't think that's something that needs to be fixed. Your phone (and probably your computer) can randomize its MAC address every time it connects to a new WiFi to make it harder to track you.

 

After five months since the last patch and almost two years since the 0.2.0 release, version 0.3.0 of the minimalist Wayland tiler river has dropped last week.

The new version improves rendering performance and damage tracking, adds several quality of life features, such as resizing windows from all sides, extend the rules system, and supports several new Wayland protocols like text-input-v3, input-method-v2, fractional-scale-v1 and more.

Full change log can be found here.

Many men lose sensation over the course of their life. Circumcised men seem to be affected by this much more severeley (anecdotal experience).

I'm in my mid thirties, circumcised at birth, and feel virtually nothing on my glans. Any form of intimacy that involves my dick is more of a chore than anything else. And no, the problem is not that I wank too often or have some unhealthy porn consumption (pretty much non-existent).

Do you think it's okay to burn a clitoris if the girl hasn't had sex before? Can we blind babies because they will never know what they have lost?

Can we violate anyone's bodily autonomy as long as they will not remember what life was like before the violation?

Thank you so much for writing this up. I really appreciate the detailed post.

Most medical and political professionals have a bias for the circumcision ritual.

I think it's important to point out that this bias is mostly cultural. In many countries where ritual infant circumcision is the exception instead of the norm, medical personnel do not have a bias towards RIC.

Foreskin restoration is legit (even if it may sound crazy like regrowing limbs). I know we collectively dislike Reddit on here, but the subreddit /r/foreskin_restoration has a really supportive and welcoming community and a lot of resources about how to get started (check their wiki).

I would have written that comment if you hadn't already done it.

I don't know exactly why people think that we can "just" do whatever they ask for.

Maybe it has something to do with how invisible software is to the tech-illiterate person but I'm not convinced. I'm sure there are other professions that get similar treatment.

Maybe Elm? It was the result of Evan Czaplicki's thesis.

I think it heavily depends on the size and (management) culture of your employer. My most recent gig had me sit in way too many meetings that were way too long (1hr daily anyone?), dealing with a lot of tooling issues and touching legacy code as little as possible while still adding new features to our main product on a daily basis. Obviously "we don't need a clean solution. We're going to replace that codebase anyways, next year™".

The job before that had me actually code for about 80% of the time, but writing tests is annoying and slows you down and we don't have time for that. Odd how there was always time for fixing the regressions later.

Different strokes for folks I guess 🤷‍♂️
