Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

This is real World of Darkness lore, specifically from a Hunter: the Reckoning splatbook
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Poor guy. He was really doing his best to figure out what the fuck is going on. I bet if he met a real ghost who could fill him in on what's actually going on, his brain would melt.

ID: title in Microsoft Word Art says "yeah I'm TRANS" bellow, the word trans is broken down by letter:
"T - terribly tired"
"R - really tired"
"A - absolutely tired"
"N - not identifying with my gender assigned at birth also I'm tired"
"S - super tired"
To the right of the text are two pictures of a turtle and a snail each on their own skateboard

image description (contains clarifications on background elements)
Lots of different seemingly random images in the background, including some fries, mr. crabs, a girl in overalls hugging a stuffed tiger, a mark zuckerberg "big brother is watching" poser, two images of fluttershy (a pony from my little pony) one of them reading "u only kno my swag, not my lore", a picture of parkzer parkzer from the streamer "dougdoug" and a slider gameplay element from the rhythm game "osu". The background is made light so that the text can be easily read. The text reads:
i wanna know if we are on the same page about ai.
if u diagree with any of this or want to add something,
please leave a comment!
smol info:
- LM = Language Model (ChatGPT, Llama, Gemini, Mistral, ...)
- VLM = Vision Language Model (Qwen VL, GPT4o mini, Claude 3.5, ...)
- larger model = more expensivev to train and run
smol info end
- training processes on current AI systems is often
clearly unethical and very bad for the environment :(
- companies are really bad at selling AI to us and
giving them a good purpose for average-joe-usage
- medical ai (e.g. protein folding) is almost only positive
- ai for disabled people is also almost only postive
- the idea of some AI machine taking our jobs is scary
- "AI agents" are scary. large companies are training
them specifically to replace human workers
- LMs > image generation and music generation
- using small LMs for repetitive, boring tasks like
classification feels okay
- using the largest, most environmentally taxing models
for everything is bad. Using a mixture of smaller models
can often be enough
- people with bad intentions using AI systems results
in bad outcome
- ai companies train their models however they see fit.
if an LM "disagrees" with you, that's the trainings fault
- running LMs locally feels more okay, since they need
less energy and you can control their behaviour
I personally think more positively about LMs, but almost
only negatively about image and audio models.
Are we on the same page? Or am I an evil AI tech sis?
IMAGE DESCRIPTION END
i hope this doesn't cause too much hate. i just wanna know what u people and creatures think <3

So, I don't usually use Instagram but Today I needed it to contact someone becuase I didn't have my phone with me and don't remember his phone no. IG was only option so I used his(my friend) device to login then after calling. My friend said let's check how much fucked up my reel feed is so I said "Go ahead, It just all Silly Cat and Programming meme unlike your Racist dark humours joke"(I swear to God I never follow or like any Femoboy content on Insta only silly cat and programming videos. Can't say about other platform though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )). He opened it first reel was that Femboy roommate game. And he scrolled 10 reels and 6 of them were Femboys related. He didn't any word after just logged out it. And I said aah I need to go somewhere bye. I fucked up sure.

using an android phone running retroarch, an 8bitdo Zero Two wireless controller, and this 3D printable mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5998094 .
works pretty good for gb/gbc titles, and its much smaller than other controller attachments! I've been using it for some gba stuff too, like Game and Watch Gallery 4 or Pokemon: Too Many Types, which don't require the L/R buttons.
if this makes you want to buy a controller, I recommend the 8bitdo Micro, which is the same size but with two extra buttons.

I don't know if the proof is right because answers to Rotman's exercises are hard to find (for me)
Tbh this should be marked as NSFW, math gore
EDIT: re-read it and I didn't mention that there are no factors that permute roots between g and h since the intersection of their Galois groups is trivial, also not sure if xi and gamma are even elements in the subgroup of S_n (they should be cause the proposition is true, idk how to explicitly show D:)

i do not condone any of the actions behavior or individuals portrayed in this meme in fact they all really suck

He just wants to share his art, comics, and characters.
And go make your own Neocities site!!!!
Most of Neocities has such an amazing "old internet"-feel to it. I love it a lot. (:
If you have any nice comments about the site, please leave some here. I'll read any nice stuff out to him this evening.
Much appreciated! Thank you! (:
