these rules have been our rules for over two years, with minimal changes. the request to add rule to your title has been there the whole time.
my Asus laptop required me to edit a file in the EFI partition to change the fan mode. not only that, half of the function keys didn't work on Linux and the back light didn't work at all. also, the audio didn't work
don't get an asus. they've got terrible Linux support and their vapor chambers are designed to fail after a year and a half of ownership causing cooling to drastically decline in quality
no need to ping me. I disagree.
get a framework. I cannot recommend it enough, I've had mine six months and it's been an absolute dream. (other than the touchpad breaking out of nowhere a week ago,, but they've already replaced it free of charge so that's not such a big deal imo)
It was the reddit icon at the time of migration two years ago. It's the default subreddit icon overlayed with armenian corey overlayed with a funny looking bird.
hey there, just wanted to add that while the majority of this post is relatively accurate, my team and I never did and never will have any issue with transgender identities. Being both nonbinary and medically transfeminine myself, the idea that I would take any action based out of hate for my fellow trans people is appalling. If you would like a more accurate idea of why we took the actions we did, and why we reversed them, please see this post.
haha you're good. makes sense!
dude I get you're pissed off at us but please chill. We haven't removed anything you've posted because that goes against our ethos, but every single post or comment we make has had at least two paragraph-long fuming comments. Lay off it already. You got everything you wanted. You have your own community, and this one is reopened as well.
When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest
also we still need mods that's still a thing
With the constant growth of our mod team and the demanding nature of actually having lives outside of niche internet communities, Ada and I have come to the decision that the mod team once again needs to expand.
Applications work the same way they did the last two mod calls:
Post a brief write-up on yourself and why you think we should give you moderator status, as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.) If you don't want your alts to be public, you can send them as a private DM to me. Applications don't have a fixed close date, but we're looking for at least four new mods in multiple time zones.
I will be personally selecting all new additions to the mod team. Please be civil, and good luck!
We now have a shared mod email for you to send complaints, issues, praise, ideas, mod applications, really anything to. All of the 196 mods have access to this.
be sure to add it to your moldposts titles
be sure to caption moldposts with "moldy Monday"
be sure to caption your moldy posts moldy Monday :)) sorry for not posting this the last few Monday's I forgot
Poll verdict:
all AI generated content is now banned.
moldy memes will now be kept to moldy Monday. on moldy Monday moldy memes are encouraged. on every other day they will be removed. bonus points if minions are somehow involved. you also receive bonus points if your image has two or more filters/watermarks, and is under one megabyte large
Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.
The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.
moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account. I'm talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.
I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don't think we should be feeding it.
please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.
not really. it had existed for a couple weeks unmoderated. no banner, icon, whatever
