Yep. Plus how it’s rendered depends on which frontend you’re using. I’m using Alexandrite, and I swear, the way it shows the name of the community makes you think that the tagline or whatever it is is indeed part of the community name (it’s not). So, yeah, it’s not really your fault, as far as I see it.

Of course, however, learning how Lemmy works is pretty helpful in situations like this, but we all kinda learn it as we go.

Hahahaha~! Well, glad to have helped you then!

It’s kinda screwy anyways, I would have also thought it’s part of the URL myself had I not checked the community on its home instance before.

That’s not the one you’re looking for, huh? Best of luck! I hope someone remembers what community that one is.

I think you’re referring to !tenforward@lemmy.world

In Alexandrite, it’s shown like this:

Sure, sure. Whatever you say.

I suppose that the vitriol surrounding this topic is tied to the innate biological pressures towards procreation. Life is supposed to the ultimate good. People like us who have doubted this assertion are not only fighting against long-held societal norms, but also biological instincts. It also doesn’t help that having a child (or not) is one of the most impactful personal decisions one can ever make. Having a child not only affects your life, your partner, but most especially, the child themself! It’s something that will permanently change one’s life, and those around them for better or for worse.

I’m not even against people who choose to have children (the so-called “breeders” in antinatalist communities). If their lives are enriched by having children and forming a family, more power to them! Even more so if they can provide the child with what they would need to thrive, or at least survive in this world.

Perhaps this trend of growing sentiment towards childfree lifestyles is yet one of those bio-sociological mechanisms driving us to having more quality children instead of just having more children. Children that would be able to live better, more fulfilling lives than I can ever hope for, and can thrive in the shitty world we’ve left for them.

I tried to give you an overview of how someone might be sympathetic to their views, but I should have known that you’re not receptive to such.

And yeah, if you give me money for the expenses needed for that all-curing therapy, sure, why not? However, you might need that for yourself.

I’m not exactly antinatalist, but I’m somewhat sympathetic to their position. The way I see it is this: humanity’s effect on nature is on the average, harmful.

We’ve been very successful as a species, but at the cost of a lot of others that weren’t able to cope with our success. Perhaps some species which are useful to us—sometimes just by being cute, have learned to live with us, or have learned to live despite us, have managed to thrive. But for one species that gained our protection, how many others have disappeared with no one caring?

If that’s not bad enough, I don’t think that the average individual human being is thriving. We’ve destroyed a lot only to build depressing cubicles for us to rot in.

I don’t think it’s worth it.

Having a child means condemning them into an ever worsening world. And I don’t think I’ll be able to properly equip my child to even have a smidge of a chance of being “well-off”, healthy or even happy.

However, our innate instincts, as well as societal and other pressures pushes people to have children even when it’s not going to end well for the children as well as their parents. Antinatalism is a counterbalance to this pressure.

My comment is self-documenting, I swear!

Because my work tends to have me working on a wide variety of features, and thus operating on vastly different parts of the codebase, I make it a point to comment out every change I make complete with the ticket that requested the change, and what the intended effect of the change is.

Cue me returning to piece of code I made (after the inevitable bug has arisen) and me staring at my own code changes in bewilderment, wondering what past me really wanted to do. Hahaha!

In this particular case, it can be supposed that there isn’t that big of a hurdle anyways. The community (the Linux DE customization community) in general isn’t that large to begin with, and I suppose, perhaps with a huge amount of bias, that a substantial percentage of the community already is here in Lemmy anyways. That makes things a lot easier getting the necessary amount of people to use the alternative.

The example you’ve given is really appealing, though my concern is more about finding something that’s already in fairly wide circulation (wide relative to the niche we’re taking about here).

Don’t get me wrong, coming up with a new sense of an existing word like in your example is certainly doable, but I suppose that it’s a lot harder than adopting a synonymous term

If there’s none close enough in meaning and nuance already in use, then yeah, personally, I’m okay with cook/dish.

I’ve always thought it’s something to do with how you can customize fried rice to your heart’s content, and the overall versatility of rice in general.

But given that it is offensive, what is the closest alternative that gives a similar, if not the same nuance without the offense? What do we mean when we say ‘rice’/‘ricing’ in desktop environment customization anyway?
