Ah yes, I think we all remember the moment back in 2016 when Apple famously announced the removal of the foreskin from the iPhone 7.
Comment on Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!

This is a tricky debate, with mostly religious and traditionalist people on one side, and people against unnecessary surgical procedures on the other. Either way, I think once the foreskin is removed, it should be treated as medical waste.

You just knew it was the first step in getting rid of the headphone jack… and it made the mens line at the Apple Store, ironically, very long

to be fair, wireless headphones are handy. the wire itself is an annoyance. i’m glad its gone, for the most part. But physical media being gone and evertything being replaced with someones computer in the cloud… its stupid. and more expensive. i don’t like it.

I believe credit for the first occurrence goes back to Ferdinand Magellan. Although he himself did not have the procedure, his crew did after his death in 1521.

I think you accidentally posted this on the wrong thread, but it’s fine because I know exactly the thread you meant, and the word circumvention didn’t help the situation :D

Nono, you’re thinking of circumcision. This is about a big meeting where furries celebrate their favorite animes or something

Nono, you’re thinking of a convention. This is about a psychological treatment that makes gay men like women.

That’s conversion therapy. This is about the use of an unnecessarily large number of words to express an idea.

Nono, you’re thinking of circumlocution. This is about building a wall around a besieged city.

Nono, you’re thinking of conversion therapy. This is about going to a priest to tell them about your sins
