I saw this pop up yesterday on the unfortunately named https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ – a subreddit well worth checking out if you want some inspiration around styling your desktop. Lots of interesting tools pop up in the comments I'd never heard of before. (Edit: The reason I say it's 'unfortunately' named is that not everyone has the privilege to load pages containing terms like 'porn' without the risk of trouble in their workplace, country, or otherwise. I have no problem with the name personally, and it's a fantastic sub and Discord.)

I think it's named suitably, even if it's not appropriate.

Not everything in the world has to be Safe For Work. The world is not a giant workplace (yet).

  Double plus this. Peoples assumed right to "browse from work", is the new "think of the children"; or "can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it".

  I work for myself and own all of my own equipment, so believe me, I am more than happy to load anything legal at work without triggering a filter or getting a visit from a boss. Sadly not everyone has this privilege.

  True, but nsfw isn't just about work, but also about people with more conservative sensibilities. You could call your project bacon soaked in milk but it might needlessly deter Muslims and Jews.

    If we cater to everyone, nothing will be allowed. If we cater to a specific set of people, it will be a discrimination against all others. I think the most tolerant solution is to let people control their own bubbles of what they want to see.

Nothing wrong with the name.

There's also the widespread use of the term ricing, which, yes, I kniw has been debated and broadly accepted by the community

From a "fortune -o" message my BSD threw at me a long time ago: ~"It is a sad comment on society that this message is being flagged as offensive just because it contains the word 'fuck'."
