You are technically correct, but the practical thing to do is abandon the term when it's not forced/tragic. No reason to rehabilitate the term.

And a fun but important fact is that genetic and heritable diseases are not necessarily the same. I went too long as a clinician conflating the two: https://www.veritasint.com/blog/en/difference-between-genetic-and-hereditary-diseases/ (corporate link but correct and well written)

What is the best music player that lets you see your collection by album covers? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

You could use foobar2000 with "Album Art Grid View"

Edit: Ah, freeware (BSD license) but not open source.

Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Yep, that one and others. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot. I guess I'm moving to an instance that lets me control the content I can access. Much appreciated

This may be a silly reason, but I'm unable to easily view communities from other federated instances. I wonder if it's just NSFW content? A lot of the more mature content is basically unavailable (I'm registered to sopuli.xyz), which is essentially any WTF or other content with warnings. I may be doing this wrong but I don't like having my content throttled, even unintentionally.
