Seed comes almost entirely from the female plant ovule. The male gamete, transported in pollen, makes but a minor contribution in catalyzing the process. Hell, many plants form fruit and sometimes even unfertilized yet viable parthenogenetic seeds without male genetic contribution. Seed is a poor metaphor in this instance.
I love 2.5 hours before it goes off. I tend to wake up dead to the world be it 5:30am or 7am. At least at 5:30 I can indulge my want to go back to sleep…
<span style="color:#323232;">I still feel a strong pull towards r/worldnews.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">c/world@lemmy.world is juuuust not quite as good,
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> content-wise.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">edit:
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> !world@lemmy.world
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> Still new to lemmy, lol...

<span style="color:#323232;">It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I put one sentence per line.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> according to natural breaks in the sentences.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">(I try to aim for an 80 column width.)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> the English is much easier to edit, and
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> diffs are way cleaner.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">(I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)
</span>
<span style="color:#323232;">What is this mobile thing of which you speak?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">But seriously, if your screen can't fit 80 columns, then
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> what am I supposed to do about that?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">My phone can do that easily.

It’s less readable on mobile clients because code blocks don’t linebreak automatically. I have to side-scroll your comments to read them in full, so the only feeling I get from your experiment is slight annoyance.
Raw text preserves whitespaces, so if I wanted them, I’d just show that instead. I don’t get it.
I’m special and because of that my comments need to look different than everyone else
Furthermore I’m doing this for reasons you won’t fully understand because I’m cooler than you
It seriously comes across like some autist green text from 4chan. Imagine if you had a buddy that only conversed in Olde English. You still understand them but Jesus Christ.
I’m not a programmer, but I think I see what you’re trying to do. I have ADHD and less-than-ideal eyesight. This is easier to read, comprehension-wise, in that I’m not getting “lost” in the text and losing my place and having to re-read paragraphs; but the font you’re using is a little blurrier than the default (I think it’s the serifs) and is a little more difficult for me to physically read. Maybe increasing the font size or changing to a different font would work better?
<span style="color:#323232;">Lemmy uses the system default for monospace font.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Try changing the monospace alias in /etc/fonts/local.conf:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_configuration/Examples#Default_fonts
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">That's for system-wide effect.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">For just firefox, go to Settings > General > Fonts > Advanced and
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> change the default Monospace font to a monospace font you like.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Source Code Pro and DejaVu Sans Mono are both very good.

In what way do you consider it easier to read raw HTML than it is to read properly-formatted text? This text displays all of its tags on kbin and it's a nightmare to read.
<span style="color:#323232;">Aw, gross.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">kbin is written in php.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Thanks, but no thanks, lol.

Why are you wanting to preserve white space in your comments? Maybe it’s just how it shows up on my screen, but I’m not seeing or understanding why or what the usage was in your initial comment here, or what the benefit was.
To be clear, I’m not judging or anything, especially since it’s not like you’re hurting anyone! Ultimately, you do yo thang! I’m just curious and interested to understand where you’re coming from. Is it just for funsies?
Maybe this was Photoshop, but some do actually paint their cats (and other animals). They do all sorts of fucked up stuff to animals for upvotes/fame/money so please don’t upvote that shit.
I’ve been shadow-banned from a few subreddits when I was still on the site.
Not. One. Warning.
on r/images or r/gifs or something, I 'and my ax’ed on some random thread. Banned. Thread context? All deleted. No warning, no explanation, and when I asked for feedback I got something like “the ban holds” or something.
Honestly, I’m a dick a lot of the time, but I simply can’t reconcile a ban for “and my ax”. Ban me for the actual stuff I do, sure. A warning would be excellent. But that one bugs me the most as I can’t learn from it.
