Backlash over fake female speakers shuts down developer conference
  • Readers added context:

    Eduards Sizovs has been shown creating fake female speaker profiles for his conferences. He is claiming one of them was a test/bug, but investigation uncovered he's done this for multiple years with multiple fake speakers. This presented a fraudulent focus on diversity.

    LOL.

  • The Henson Safety Razor, a nearly 1-to-1 replacement for disposable razors, with all the environmental benefits of a regular safety razor, and certifiably BIFL
  • I've used the Merkur HD for years, then got a bad case of Razor Acquisition Syndrome. My Rockwell 6S I used for years before deciding to trey a Henson. I have never looked back. I thought I'd miss the adjustability, but it just does the job that damned well.

    They say it's because the razor locks the blade down so thoroughly, and I'm inclined to agree. I'd been getting some nicks, and then (finally!) got rid of the accumulated gack on the razor with some dilute vinegar and a toothbrush. Bam. Back to incredibly easy, smooth shaves.

    As a few have remarked, it's certainly still possible to nick yourself with a Henson, but it doesn't require more than ordinary care, I'd say. I use the "mid aggressive" one as my whiskers are fairly intense, so can't speak to the mild version. I know I would not bother with the titanium extra-aggressive model if I decided to upgrade the material.

    That said, Rockwell is also excellent, so unless you just want to try out another, I don't think you need to change if you're happy. I will say it has been the endpoint for me after quite a few years of experimenting and probably 8 or 9 different razors.

  • Go figure.
  • It's as if, like, if you are a woman, and also in a disfavoured racial category, like, where they, uh, have overlap? Where they meet? It's not the same as either one individually but its own, I guess nexus? I feel like there's a better word for this

  • Do you have Justice Sensitivity? How does it manifest for you?

    I can't look past the wrongs I see happening around me. I will call them out if I see them. I will stand up for those who are experiencing mistreatment whenever I can... and use my voice to amplify theirs to the best of my ability. \2
