The logic still applies though
No it doesn’t outside of [parts of] the US.
For traffic to flow safely and predictably, we should strive to do what the law prescribes, so that everyone is on the same page instead of everyone operating according to their own made up rules. The law in most places is keep right if possible, regardless of how many lanes there are.
US defaultism much?
It’s possible those are still using Xwayland
You can use xlsclients to check.
wmctrl and xdotool don’t do anything for me with native Wayland windows. It only seems to work for applications that use Xwayland.
So while I can use it to resize and position xterm or urxvt windows, it does not work with foot or kitty or firefox windows.
No. Those are X11 only.
I had a bunch of wmctrl window placement scripts that I had to rewrite in kwin’s (awful) scripting language when I switched to wayland.
Preventing conception would be a genetic trait that evolution selects against.
A woman with your theoretical anti-conception genetic mutation would not reproduce, so this mutation dies out immediately.
Doing your part in a relationship’s reproductive planning is good partner behavior. This shouldn’t be a game where just one person is on the hook and the other is just along for the ride. Male and Female birth control do not exist as a one or the other dichotomy.
Except what the meme is saying is not that both partners should work together on birth control. It suggests that it should be on the man instead.
Meme also suggests that no work is being done on a male contraception pill, when in reality this is being worked on and has been worked on for decades, but there are good biological reasons why this is anything but trivial and certainly much harder than a female contraception pill.
Counterpoint: a woman taking birthcontrol is empowered because she is taking charge of her own reproduction. She doesn’t have to rely on or trust the man to take his pill. After all, she would be the one bearing most of the burden in case of an unwanted pregnancy.
Additionally, purely biologically it is much easier to reliably stop conception on the female side than on the male side. A woman only produces one egg cell per month, whereas a man produces millions of sperm cells per day.
I liked working from home at first, but after so long it becomes harder and harder to leave your work at “work” when your workplace is also your home
That sounds like a “you” problem. I just hit the shutdown button on my laptop at 17:00 and close the lid, and boom I’ve left work and magically instantaneously transported to my home.
the flexibility to work from home on weekends
Work … on … weekends?
I think your problem is that you’re a workaholic.
Our brains are not wired to do such a dramatic difference in mental activity in the same location.
Sounds made up bro.
It’s bad enough having to hear my colleagues in teams meetings, I don’t see why I have to smell them too.
Meanwhile, me, a non-native English speaker:
I am still thoroughly confused whether I should call it KDE or Plasma or Plasma Desktop. Like, what is the difference?
Don’t worry Ralph, I got you.

I have to ask… what the hell is that thing?
That is a self-inflicted wound caused by how Wayland was designed, particularly the part where they offloaded so much responsibility onto the different compositors.
In many cases there’s no extra wear
You can’t change physics. More HP = more torque = more wear on the whole drive train. Also more boost = more stress on the turbo = it will fail sooner.
Also, back then, cars with the higher specced variant of the “same” engine almost always had mechanical upgrades compared to the lower specced engine: usually bigger brakes, a stronger clutch, and various other drive train components.
So while in many cases you could chip your car without much immediate harm, you were definitely cutting into various safety margins determined by automotive engineers who know much better than you and me.
Guys this content was by boomers for boomers
Tom’s Hardware sold out looong ago, sold in 2007 to some faceless consortium. The original “Tom”, Thomas Pabst, who is GenX and not a boomer btw, has had nothing to do with the site since.
The editor of this article looks to be a millennial btw.
The logic behind the keep-right law is this:
To address some of your points:
The onus is on the people who are trying to get on to merge properly. Moving over for people who are merging is generally discouraged. Personally, I only do it for slower traffic (large trucks) or with short, difficult on-ramps.
The way keep-right is policed is that you are only expected to move back to the right lane if that lane is free for a reasonable distance. Police typically use a margin of 20-30 seconds or so of middle lane camping without passing anyone before ticketing you.
As you always should. Keep right doesn’t change that.
See above. You are never expected to squeeze in between two cars. As long as you are passing you are allowed to be in a lane to the left of the traffic you are passing. The faster driver coming up behind you just needs to wait until you have finished your pass and have the space to move over.
Anyway, my point still stands. You may prefer your keep-your-lane logic over keep-right logic, but in large parts of the world it is against the law, and you should try to follow the laws of where you are. I’m not saying keep-your-lane logic is indefensible when considered in a vacuum, I’m saying you’re not in a vacuum so you should be predictable and follow the same rules as everyone else.
