I appreciate the minimalist HN aesthetic, but without some context I'm not willing to click a mystery link to "Tender Lovemaking dot com".

Don't worry! It's actually "Tenderlove Making," going by how the site header is constructed. Definitely a maker/hacker site, and not whatever you were thinking. Hope this allays your concern.

What’s with the fear of tender lovemaking? Not your thing?

You should learn who the author is, then. Part of learning about our ecosystem.

It's the personal blog for a well-known Rubyist (i.e., a person who programs in the Ruby programming language). Rubyists teld to be a bit more colorful than your typical software developer (in a good way... most of the time).

You get some context by clicking on the “(tenderlovemaking.com)” in parentheses after the title.

What kind of esthetic alteration would make you more comfortable clicking on that link?

The site is safe. It has been a trademark of Aaron Patterson a core Ruby on Rails contributor for decades.

It's about OpenAI's RubyGems hack. Totally safe for work.

Firefox has got some kind of feature to take a peek at at a link by hovering or something... Now I understand the usecase.

Based on the thumbnail I think it’s actually tenderlove making dot com, though I agree with your sentiment.
