  • 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

    Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.

    But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn’t miss a thing.

    Because people that don’t care about privacy find this to be a nice feature.

    There are gallery apps that let’s you sort by location and it’s nice if you want to search for the cool thing you saw once again.
