I hate shaving and I think it’s a waste of time. I think facial hair can also act to make your appearance more visually interesting if you prefer to keep your hair cut really short like I do.
First there was WWII, when all men had to be skinheads. Those men continued shaving, and this became a culture handed down to their boys. Now, we’re rebelling against the elders who fucked up everything, so we grow beards to show that we’re different to them.
Source. A lumberjack appered in front of me in a dream I had in 2009.
IIRC, it’s the same testosterone-y hormone that determines how good you are at growing a beard that also determines how aggressively you go bald. So there’s lots of folks in this boat with us
It’s more so how sensitive your cells/receptors are to these hormones (testosterone/DHT), assuming you have healthy levels. There’s people on anabolic steroids that still can’t grow a dense beard. It’s just genetics.
Wake me up when there’s a working, native non-wsl waypipe client with sound for windows and android, that can hand off applications seamlessly to other hosts. (Think two computers, two monitors that feel like one).
Also working screensaver and monitor power options
My first experience in wayland, us discovering I couldn’t control monitor sleep/standby function. I found how to reinstall X and managed to escape it since.
That sounds like problem with specific software configuration, like missing packages in some distro or something being badly built. There’s nothing about Wayland that would prevent it from working.
Wayland is not a standalone server like Xorg and it doesn’t have standard utilities to control stuff like DPMS. That functionality goes to compositors that are effectively individual Wayland server implementations. Compositors can provide utilities to control display, and they usually do. For example, on KDE Wayland you can call kscreen-doctor --dpms off, wlroots compositors (Sway, Wayfire, Hyprland,…) have inter-compatible tools, like swaymsg output DP-1 dpms off. If that’s what you meant anyway.
There really should be a front end script that has uniform command line parameters, finds what your compositor is, translate the command line arguments and send them.
I dont know what that means. Normally the monitor turns off when the PC stops sending a signal. In KDE i can easily configure when to dim, turn off, lock etc. the screen.
I was the one that came default with ubuntu 22.10 But as I have stated in my initial post, the feature had been restored by reinstalling Xwindow Also, I feel that the commands equivalent to
<span style="color:#323232;">xset dpms force off
</span><span style="color:#323232;">xset dpms force standby
</span><span style="color:#323232;">xset dpms force suspend
</span>
Should be the same regardless which wayland variant you are using.
They dont need to, a Desktop could just use another compositor and the rest of the stuff but they often dont. wlroots is a project doing some general work, but most of the others dont.
The military required men to be clean shaven, which was partly tactical (proper gas mask seals), partly to whitewash (e.g., black men can have severe skin reactions to shaving every day) the service, and had other benefits to unit cohesion and general order (routine personal fitness and hygiene).
Well, that stuck, and an entire (massive) generation of men and their male children were taught that to be good they simply had to be clean shaven. Those two generations make up the vast majority of business and political power in the US, so the idea of “success” and “power” was idolized by a clean shaven male. This was further accentuated by the counter culture reaction of this cohort’s kids in the 60s and 70s, where longer and unkempt “bad” hair was cast against this “good” clean shaven look.
Fast forward to today, those traditions and appearances have been baked into most of modern life. As the boomer population starts to fade away, so will the tyranny of the razor.
Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
Ha, NSFW example but my God when people call the tight trimmed triangle a “natural bush” on women I laugh. It’s more work to maintain than just about any other alternative.
A short trimmed beard you have to do the neck and maybe cheekbones, it’s a lot of upkeep.
I think lots of guys had that type of beard pre-covid, then let it grow out. Once it’s long enough you don’t have to do the neck because it’s hidden by the rest of your beard.
And some guys never have to do cheeks because it grows in good.
Like how 20 years ago it was cool for teenagers and 20 somethings to have goatees. It took me a while to realize most were doing it because they couldn’t grow a full beard.
There’s a lot of variation in facial hair, including where it grows and how thick.
Exactly, it’s actually MORE work to shave with a beard because instead of just completely removing all of the hair and you have to shape it and make sure it’s symmetrical.
Very variable, depending on style and your personal growth pattern. I have a small patch on each cheek that has to be cleaned off, but otherwise it doesn’t require shaving. With a big beard you have to care for it like normal hair, though, with haircuts and products.
its the other way around for those people: they have a beard because they stopped shaving, not because they wanted a nice looking beard.
tbh there is a part of me that resents this “ew you grow facial hair and don’t shave around the edges to create sharp lines” view though. Its like women feeling they have to shave their legs or pits, it’s BS and people shouldn’t be judged for literally just how their body naturally is. Its not like there’s a legitimate sanitary reason for shaving legs or necks.
I’ve (recently) stopped shaving entirely, but I use my trimmers to to a quick hackjob on the area I used to manually shave. so my facial hair care routine is about 5 minutes every 2 weeks or so, plus maybe 5 minutes a month to buzz my head. can’t believe I used to spend that much time every couple of days to look like shit. now I still look like shit but have a few more minutes
