 # Richard Stallman's Antinatalism
-If you check the [promoted page](/promoted/) of this blog, you'll see I have promoted Richard Stallman's article "[Why it is important not to have children](https://stallman.org/children.html)". I have the promoted page so that I have somewhere to promote others' ideas and so that I don't have to write a new post for each idea. But I still want to highlight a few of the points in that article that I find most compelling.

 The strongest reason Stallman gives for not having children is to avoid the global heating disaster (climate change) fueled by overconsumption and overpopulation. He notes that first worlders who consume lots of resources especially should not have children. Even if there were no other reason not to have children, I consider averting climate change a strong enough reason on its own. Having one less child does more for the environment than all the other personal choices you can make combined. It's a no-brainer.

 * Remove hosted services on the [about page](/about/). My new VPS doesn't have the resources for them. I still have the old VPS and domain name rented out for a year in advance. If anybody reading this needs a hosted service for a use case, just let me know. Otherwise I'll dedicate those resources elsewhere.
 * Website redesign! I changed the font to sans-serif which is much easier and more enjoyable to read than monospace. I also squashed the text to 780 pixels so less horizontal eye scanning is required. This is irrelevant to readers coming from Gemini and Atom/RSS.
 * Remove dead links. I wrote a [Python script to crawl the journal and detect all the dead links](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/swh:1:cnt:bca14b35aa1cbd9ef5abdea35e406248faddb24f;origin=https://git.nicholasjohnson.ch/nicksphere-gmi;visit=swh:1:snp:fb9bef300f9b939382f5656232d95377c8630a10;anchor=swh:1:rev:c77cc20bbeaf017b9426f2de548aefd20c8e4007;path=/scripts/find_broken_links.py). Running this periodically should be sufficient to prevent link rot on Nicksphere. I may automate the process in the future.

 ## Future Plans
 I hope to get around to fixing known bugs and adding more features to hugo-theme-nicksphere. The basic challenge is to make the Web output featureful without breaking Gemini. For instance, I want to add inline images and links for the Web whilst also making those images and links accessible on Gemini.

 ## Future Plans
 For the Hugo theme for this journal, you can find my plans in [this TODO file](https://git.nicholasjohnson.ch/hugo-theme-journal/tree/TODO?id=833d19b542e6d6106ac4979e7a6319bec1969ed7a8f085afe944872bcefddfa7). I'm going to start versioning the theme. Once I implement the features in the TODO file, as long as nothing else occurs to me, I'll make the first official release of the theme with version 1.0.0.
