Just an ordinary myopic internet enjoyer.

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 expected someone to make this joke, but this still made me chuckle. Thanks for the laugh!
Yeah. And I’m just throwing what I think is a reasonable idea, but there’s this nagging feeling I’ve got inside that goes “how can you be so sure no one’s thought about it before? Maybe there’s something more pertinent and basic that stops them from doing just that?”
That’s supposed to be part of their job, right? Along with coordinating the dev team’s efforts: who works on which, which aspects of the project is to be prioritized, which bugs are to be fixed ASAP; and other things that doesn’t come to mind at the moment.
But what I am actually imagining when I made that reply is on the other side of the “business-dev” divide. I’m actually thinking of someone who’s leading the QA team? I guess? I don’t even have any idea how it all works out on large corporate software projects.

Yeah, that’s a good point, but the readmes that I’ve seen written by those who wrote the code themselves are not much better. Sure, they know what it’s all about, which is precisely why it oftentimes isn’t much help for a user.
What’s needed is someone who’d read the initial readme (written by the guy who wrote the code itself) and ask questions about the parts that were “too straightforward” to be included, or weren’t explained clearly enough, or to bring down the general overview back to Earth.
And if there’s yet another person who’d go over this second pass, and keep it from being too dumbed down, even better. Keep it to the level of the average user. That requires knowing the kind of person who’d likely use the program.

I came here to say something similar.
Just writing documentation alone, is a skill worthy of a full-time job! Of course, there’d be people who can volunteer their time to do that, but without someone with such skill at least taking a look and making sure it’s understandable to someone who’s got no idea what’s going on? Let’s just say that open source software help documentation is filled with such examples.
It takes a certain kind of a skill set and experience to be able to translate this “consumer view” into something that can be acted upon by a developer.
Sure, the skill set can be developed, the knowledge (about software development, the available technologies, and having an idea of what is and isn’t feasible in the first place) can be built up, and the experience (communicating with developers) can be accrued, but that really stops a lot of people from even thinking of contributing.
Perhaps a subset of the (open-source) community can help in developing these (skills, knowledge, experience) among interested people. Teach people how to look for issues, bugs, or come up with feature requests; teach them how to put these into a form that’s easily understood and appreciated by the developers, and finally, teach them how to communicate with developers without losing the “non-techie user POV” which makes their feedback valuable in the first place.
IDK though, having read what I’ve just written, it seems to be quite a task.
Oh, yeah, I hear you! My go-to for those “I feel too lazy to cook something substantial” would be ramen because fried rice can actually be pretty hard work, lol!
Also, thanks for the tip about fried eggs. We usually don’t add much to our fried eggs here, just a bit of salt and a bit of all-purpose seasoning if we’re feeling fancy. Otherwise, it’d be an omelette with onions and tomatoes and all that and it’s already become a dish of its own.
If any dangerous pathogens are kept out or killed, I guess more power to the you? However, I’m just thinking: “Why not make fried rice out of that?” Heck, you’d just need some oil and garlic and letting that day-old rice cool and dry out a bit.
Fry the egg first, then using the same oil the egg is fried in, then once the garlic is almost golden brown, take it off the oil and add the rice. Let the rice heat up and then add the chili paste, the garlic, the pork fu and/or whatever else you might have on hand you fancy adding. Season to taste and cook to desired “doneness”. Some like it cooked to the point of the rice gaining that scorched and crunchy layer.
And that’s just basing off your recipe. A lot of dinner left-overs can be added to next day’s fried rice, and it’s just basically a way of dealing with left-overs (and rice) and cooking a one-dish meal out of it…
Yep, poaching an egg (or a couple) in the ramen as it’s about to finish cooking is one of the ways I add eggs to instant ramen. Another is a technique similar to egg drop soup: stream pre-beaten eggs while stirring the ramen (also just about the ramen is done cooking).
But I default to adding soft-boiled eggs. I cook the thoroughly washed eggs in the same water I’d cook the ramen on. I take the eggs off (put them into cold water if necessary, or I can just take them a bit early and let the residual heat take it the rest of the way), then cook the noodles. While waiting for the noodles to cook, I peel the eggs and then put them back into the noodles just before serving.
That’s true. My alibi though would be that I’ve never left my room for years.
Honestly though, I’d rather my exes live out their lives peacefully as I would like my life to be–hence all the “assuming XYZ” in my OP.
Eh, given that it’s for a novel, odd and unhinged is a good thing, right?

I stumbled upon this thread and got really confused. Do people usually have sweaty feet? I tend not to wear socks except when I wear shoes. Otherwise, I wear slippers or go barefoot. Even when I wear shoes, I don’t notice any sweating in my feet. I usually wear cotton socks though.
To answer the OP, though, my rule is to not reuse socks with a couple of exceptions:
if I only had the socks (with the shoes on) for less than a couple of hours, I think it’s safe to reuse the socks.
if for some reason, I go to a place where I need to take my shoes and socks off (like if I go visit a friend) I would reuse the socks, of course.
Most of the time though, I just don’t bother with shoes and socks if I can get away with it. It’s too hot where I live to deal with socks.
