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.

Fancy word for a tree
what's all the fuss about a corn?
A lot of people laugh at this, but it's painfully true.
Hell, I do Brazilian Jiu-jitsu three times a week, and lift/run on the other days. At a certain point for many, you just can't outrun a bad diet, and maintaining anything other than a dad bod requires all that exercise AND a strict diet. Good fucking luck doing all of that with a screaming baby at home!
I never thought I'd be fat, especially since back when I was 18 I could smash a meal at McDonald's and exercise right after, while keeping a six pack. Now, it requires double the exercise to not have tits...
I was in the same situation. I started to walk and longboard every day and track my calories without exception.
Eventually, you can see changes and it becomes easier over time, but oh boy I never shame anyone for their body size, because it's hella hard, and if you're coping with other problems like depression or addiction, it's gotta feel damn near impossible.
You don't need a lot, or even any exercise, to prevent overweight. Diet is everything. The amount of extra calories you can eat for a run is easily outweighed by the extra hunger.
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.
Nice weve all been lifting.
Damn shrinkflation the T shirts just keep getting smaller
Lifting burgers and cupcakes
Oh my god, Linux makes you fat.
Maybe they got super jacked?
Since I like geeky boys, they can come over and get jacked anytime
Or getting old makes you fat
They did a bad job of getting more young people interested in Linux? Because you're implying it's the same people who attended both symposiums.
By now, Arch and Rust fans have probably corrected this 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Linux Symposium Statistics - Sock Length
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.
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.
I wish you well for whatever remains of recovering from the illness, it sounds like you've had a rough time.
I don't want to go into it, but yes, it's been rough. I'm hoping surgery on Thursday will fix it.
not me! woohoo. same XL then as now.
of course, back then when i was younger i favored oversized shirts. now they just fit.
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.
Vanity sizing is very real.
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.
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.
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.
Ha! All you Linux nerds are fat.
I mean I'm fat too but you guys also.
Feel bad for all my tall bros. Hard to find a shirt that fits, always gotta be to short or too tight, gotta go larger.
The struggle is real :( pants are the same way... either super wide and short or long and not wide.
Dog eat dog. All the big nerds are the little ones.
"Mr. Chambers! Don't get on that ship! That OS, it's...it's a COOKBOOK!"
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
Bro, you just stretched out your shirts
Sorry to break it to you but vanity sizing has made clothes bigger
So, why are penguins shrinking shirt sizes?
from twinks to hell yeah
Well I'm the only Linux nerd I know nor have I ever met another one in person and I'm a medium, could probably get away with a small if I had a touch more self confidence.
I could imagine this to be mich similar to the 1999 one in 2023 again
