I agree with all of that. I don't see our two comments as in conflict, except that when I said "societ[al]... standards on the rejection of nudity", I didn't draw the line at sex organs. But I don't think Twitch is going to ban short people any time soon, if you're worried about a slippery slope.

My original reply was in regards to the word "sexist". If your definition of "sexist" is so morally neutral that it includes literally any kind of discrimination between sexes, then that's fine; this is "sexist", and so are all of us. But since most people use "sexist" to refer to a moral transgression, it seems silly to me to pretend that male and female nipples are the same, and I don't see any moral hazard in saying so.

Whether or not society should care so much about titties isn't a question I was trying to address, only that it's not sexist to do so.

By any chance was this in a VM?

Needing a GPU might be hyperbole, but no, it'll still be slow on older hardware. It looks lightweight on neofetch since, at rest, the RAM will appear as low as XFCE's, but it's not nearly as snappy.

I don't think you need to go full WM-onlyism to find yourself unable to relate to Gnome users. There are probably a handful of KDE users who still use Chrome, but we usually have some shame. We're not, like, trying to form HOAs in our neighborhoods like Gnome users are, probably.

I've never dived into this, but if electronic keyboards are just glorified midi-controllers, I'd have to think you could find a FOSS solution. If they're not simply midi-controllers, I wouldn't begin to know. I'd imagine you might have an easier time with keyboards from the 90s or whenever.

You can skip this comment if you're avoiding anything arch-based; I don't have any additional distro suggestions beyond what's already listed (they really are mostly the same), but in regard to the arch-based suggestions, I would only add that you can reduce the maintenance by choosing a DE with a slower update cycle (e.g. XFCE or any WM) and, more importantly, remembering that you don't actually have to update your system every day. Even once a month is probably fine. I don't get the impression you want vanilla Arch though; Endeavor or even Manjaro minimal will have the defaults you're looking for, or literally any other non-Arch distro if the AUR isn't important to you.

A GUI to build these EWWidgets I suck at making. The only reason I'm using them is the fancy animations, otherwise xfce4-panel or tint2 would be fine.

You're on Lemmy. Lemmy hates Brendan Eich. Take the top comments with a grain of salt.

Whenever I use a touchpad without physical buttons, I usually disable the middle button entirely. It's more of a hammer-to-mosquito solution than what you were asking, but it's as easy as adding this command to the autostart file (on Xorg): xinput set-button-map "Name-of-your-Touchpad-goes-here" 1 0 3 4 5 6 7, where "Name-of-your-Touchpad-goes-here" can be found with xinput list --name-only.

we just can’t avoid it anymore

Speak for yourself. Besides, all-or-nothing privacy is a false dichotomy. Giving out less personal data is still better than giving out everything, and you don't need 100% privacy to be unprofitable to advertisers.
