The reality is probably that kernel developers don’t get any younger nowadays. And believe me, when you get older, have children and less free time, your waistline suffers a bit. Or even a bit more than a bit.
Here as well

Man I used to think there was no relation between what I ate and my wardrobe size, but eventually it really does catch up with you, especially if your day job is sedentary.

It’s all the bloat in those distros that is transferred to the waistline, back in the day we used WindowMaker. Not all that fancy Gnome and KDE stuff.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The one advantage of being significantly ill this year is that I can finally fit into large shirts and medium pants after years of XXL and XL of the former and latter.
I mean the rest sucks, but that’s pretty nice.
AnarchistArtificer@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I wish you well for whatever remains of recovering from the illness, it sounds like you’ve had a rough time.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t want to go into it, but yes, it’s been rough. I’m hoping surgery on Thursday will fix it.
ares35@kbin.social 11 months ago
not me! woohoo. same XL then as now.
of course, back then when i was younger i favored oversized shirts. now they just fit.
Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yea, you could only really buy band tshirts in XL back then as big and baggy was the style. Now it’s my actual size.
Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’ve technically gone down from XL. Seems L often fit me better now. But I’ve not changed.
Seems like sizes have shifted higher. Only evidence I have for this are souvenir t-shirts from 20 years ago that say XL. Which are roughly same size as L shirts I’ve bought recently.
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Vanity sizing is very real.
TseseJuer@lemmy.world 11 months ago
shrinkage? it’s been pretty cold lately
kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This says nothing about how tall they are. I wear XL, for being 190cm and 95kg
I am definitely not qualified as being “fat”
dfc09@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes, statistics generally teaches to not worry excessively about outliers.
4lan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
according to BMI bodybuilders are morbidly obese lol
GiveMemes@jlai.lu 11 months ago
You have to be ~a top 1% individual for BMI to not work for you and that’s literally just what an outlier is lmaooo.
The_v@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Tall people are often calculated as being obese as well. BMI has me at 30.8 because I am 6’2" and weight 240lbs. I have a 34" waist however and constantly moving.
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bear in mind, in the us and UK, I’m a medium. In France I’m XL
Chriswild@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The larger shirts never give as much length as width so I always look for the tall ones.
skeeter_dave@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’m xxl but I’m also built like a forklift. When I was younger I could throw rolls of vinyl flooring over my shoulder. I wish I took better care of my knees though.
Sami_Uso@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m xxl but I’m also built like a plastic bag filled with mashed potatoes. When I was younger I was last in the pacer test.

To be fair, I’m still a large in my old shirts but an xlt in new shirts. Not always us getting bigger, but the cuts getting smaller

vsh@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Kernel developers are like black angels who were banned 🚫 for their incompetence so they had to find a niche that wouldn’t remind them of corporate heaven. This is why they don’t take care of themselves, they smell like tarmac, still send commits through fax and generally are stuck in the 90’s. Maybe Japan would welcome them, but not 🚫 USA.
sirxdaemon@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
The shirt supplier may also be a factor. An American/EU size M is like an Asian XL. So if they changed the supplier then that’s a possibility for the change.
Korne127@lemmy.world 11 months ago

PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I love posts like this because it always has the subtle insinuation that weight gain is some moral failing on individuals instead of the natural result of allowing food producers across the board to sell the most unhealthy slop you could ever dream of while simultaneously making healthy food (literally just fresh, unprocessed items - i.e. the things that everyone ate for tens of thousands of years) a luxury item. This, of course, happening after food lobbyists successfully brainwashed entire generations of people with their shareholder-approved “food pyramid.”
End of rant
protist@mander.xyz 11 months ago
Healthy food is absolutely not a luxury item. I’ll accept the argument that the time to prepare healthy food is a luxury, but in almost every corner of the US you will find basic ingredients (eg rice, beans, carrots, celery, corn, potatoes, pasta) are way less expensive than the pre-prepared slop in boxes in the middle aisles of the store. People are addicted to that shit and actively choose it
peopleproblems@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You just used addicted and choose it in the same sentence.
JackRiddle@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
“People are addicted” and “actively choose it” are contradictory statements. Addiction is a disease, not a personal failing.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Someone never heard about food deserts.
Way to victim-blame both addicts and people with little to no healthy choices available.
original2@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I know about the uk but not USA. Food inequality is quite a big problem for low-income households.

(A large number of britons who dont own a car live over a mile from an outlet selling healthy food)
Etc
Thwompthwomp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I was also reading an article about nutritional quality of food itself has been declining over the last 50 years. So to get the same nutritional amount, you need to eat more food period.
There’s also bigger systemic issues about food access that is driving people to “choose” it. Lack of time, cost, availability, transportation all factor in that are beyond a simple idea if a person having a pure choice between two equal (or even somewhat equal) options.
onkyo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Many people in the US also live in food deserts where easy access to healthy food IS a luxuary due to simply not being able to buy it where they live or work.
IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 11 months ago
Maybe it’s a bit of both though. People still have free will. You can eat unhealthy shit and not become morbidly obese.
NABDad@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Free will is a lie we tell ourselves.

fireweed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This little bit of news has been hitting the media circuit this week: [www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/…/ar-AA1lGv3y](Americans are eating a meal’s worth of calories in snack foods every day)
All food has gotten expensive due to inflation/greedflation, but (at least in my area) snacks, desserts, and some sugary drinks got hit especially hard. Except maybe for people living in food deserts, snacks are way more of a luxury good than “whole” foods are nowadays.
FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Why is it either or? I can see a world where computer enthusiasts tend to be a bit more physically inactive than the median
vsh@lemm.ee 11 months ago
if kernel developers can afford a PC, then they can afford fucking food
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 11 months ago
not with the PC they bought
guiguinofake@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Yeah but they fuck their food so there is none left to eat
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Can be either or both
lobut@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I think you have great points, but I also don’t want to absolve personal responsibility entirely. I think I saw Boogie for on the Financial Audit and spends $900 per month? There’s definitely food deserts and busy people with busy lives and bad education. Absolutely. I also find that healthier living was easier in the UK as grocery stores had ready-made meals easier to access with better options. However, I do think there’s also a component of personal accountability for those that know the right thing to do and choose not to.
daltotron@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Also fucked up is that fat doesn’t = bad. I dunno when this came about but you can be unhealthy and skinny as well, and you can be unhealthy and jacked. I won’t say that, kind of along the lines of a bodybuilder, it’s easy to be healthy and be fat, but you can do it. Sumo wrestlers. You want that subcutaneous fat, and not that visceral fat, and you wanna have good cardio and heart health.
Part of the reason why people become super fat is because they enter a kind of death spiral where they don’t believe they’ll ever get better, and then they eat more, because what’s the point if you’ll never get better at all. Part of the reason why they think they’ll never get better is because people are constantly telling them that’s the case, and that they’re at fault for being the way they are, when usually people get really fat through some childhood trauma or mental disorder. I’m not gonna blame someone for that, or demand they “take responsibility” for it. Especially if them “taking responsibility” for it just ends up making them eat more slop.
It’s really not that complicated. Positive reinforcement and active help is a lot better in these situations than demanding that people be held accountable for being so fat, or that it’s their choice, or whatever. I don’t really care to argue the semantics of philosophies of “free will” or whatever, I’m just saying people need to not be dicks to fat people, because that’s more productive to making them be healthy.
Kase@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hear hear. And it wouldn’t matter to me even if being fat were automatically a death sentence and the only reason people got that way was laziness. Even if it were a simple choice that someone made, it’s still none of my business, y’know?
