Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants?

  • I was just thinking about the Beau Brummel episode. He was almost an actually good guy too. One of the least bastardly people to be covered.

    • On a scale of 0-10, how badass are you feeling today?

    Jump

  • Maybe like a 2.

  • I'm gonna be honest, when I read this, I initially thought it was a joke answer by a community menber. The joke being about vague hand-wavy statements that people make when dodging questions.

    Then I realized it's OP, and OP is ostensibly the actual developer. I have nothing specific to say about this situation, especially from a technical perspective, but this reply... why even bother?

    • Any recommendations for making a free or low-cost wiki for personal projects? (NOT Fandom though)

    Jump

  • Have you considered tiddlywiki? You can selfhost, or use one of a couple of services. I know of https://tiddlyhost.com/

    Also you could consider anytype. It's cool, and I like what they're going for. I don't like their weird pretending to be open source license, but it's still pretty cool software. https://anytype.io

    Edit: for my personal stuff, I use a combination of logseq, and tiddlywiki, the latter moreso for game development. I landed on anytype at work because it's simple, and my boss, nor anyone else cares about a license, and it just works.

    • What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know?

    Jump

  • Since we're talking about it, and I really like the guy's work, I figured I should say who coined it! Author, Cory Doctorow! He has a blog where he (among all the other stuff he writes about) defined the word, and wrote several articles about it.

    • What was the first song you played after you got the car you always wanted or your first car?

    Jump

  • Yep. Sounds like you can't really operate without one. :(

    That sucks. I'm sorry.

    • What was the first song you played after you got the car you always wanted or your first car?

    Jump

  • Because if you can operate without one, life is so much better.

    • Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

    Jump

  • Yes! This is something I do on 3 of my machines. My ArchLinux Distrobox with paru works like a charm. (so far)

    • That word, Open, it doesn't mean what they think it means

    Jump

  • Okay, but openai was open source once. And then they just didn't change their name when they changed their licenses. Which I actually think is more dishonest.

  • No, just go try it.

  • That is not a source, so judging by your hearsay, it's unfortunate, but even smart people can get swindled and duped.

    If Shaun fell for NFT stuff, that's... embarrassing, but it happens I suppose.

    However, he's clearly figured it out now, and can see they're just scams.

    • Shaun - Palestine

    Jump

  • Source? This is extremely incongruous with everything else Shaun has put forward. And I'm having trouble substantiating your claim.

    • If I drive speeding past a cop, but didn't get a ticket, did I break the law?

    Jump

  • This is likely the most asinine thing I hear on a regular basis. Speed limits exist for a reason. If driving the speed limit actually created a hazard, rather than simply creating an annoyance for someone who is willing to drive recklessly to shave a few seconds off their trip, you might have a point, but you don't.

    The only circumstance where it creates a hazard is if everyone else around them is speeding, in which case, the people who are speeding are creating the hazard, not the person following the laws, you know, the ones that are there to enforce safety on the roads.
