Oh my god, Linux makes you fat.
Maybe they got super jacked?
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.
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.
The shirt supplier may also be a factor. An American/EU size M is like an Asian L or XL. So if they changed the supplier then that’s a possibility for the change.
So, why are penguins shrinking shirt sizes?
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’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 read “foreskin” first pass.
“Dude was built like a foreskin. Loose, and wrinkly.”
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 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.
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.
