From the perspective of the admin team, as long as reports are consistently resolved in a timely manner we are happy.
If you have any questions or want help with finding extra moderators, feel free to ask it here or via DM, otherwise we also have a Discord server and a Matrix space where we can talk.
Just a reminder that we sent you a DM some time ago, but have yet to receive an answer. Happy cake day :)
-The admin team
Please refrain from harassing our users, keep whatever argument you have contained to the thread it started. Following and harassing users across communities/instances is not tolerated.
You will only be given a temporary ban of one week from our instance, but if it continues after that it will changed to a permanent ban.
Community creation is open for all users, you are free to create a community dedicated to Q&A if you want a community explicitly for it. The admin team is willing to help out with moderation if that is what’s holding you back.
Please refrain from using slurs and disparage people for no good reason on our instance.
The person has previously been warned to stopped posting links to the site. They’ve now been given a temp ban, if that doesn’t deter them, they’ll be given a permanent ban and we might ban the site from our instance.
I didn’t mean to imply CD stores sounds files of worse quality, only that if you aren’t after the experience vinyl provides, digital files is a more convenient form of media.
Maybe I should have written a longer comment to elaborate on what I meant. What I meant to say is that if your primary concern is sound quality rather than the experience physical media gives you, I would assume a flac file would be a more popular option due to its convenience.
There’s way more to a game’s look than textures though. Arguably ray tracing will have a greater impact than textures. Not to mention, for retro games, you could just generate the textures beforehand, no need to do it in real time.
If you’re going for quality, you’d just buy the flac file though
Please refrain from using personal insults in this community. You’re free to express your opinion, but personal insults does nothing but make the community more toxic. c/programming is a gathering ground for both inexperienced and experienced programmers, so this level of lashing out is uncalled for.
Nobody would ever say “Asian” when referring to the south east Asians powers though. Call it European colonial powers or something. It gets tiresome being lumped in with destruction caused by Britain, France, etc… when your own nation was nothing but potato farmers at the time.
Appreciate the offer, but we want to try to avoid another situation with reports not being seen by mods for weeks.
Added as moderator
Added as a moderator, we will likely add at least one more if there are more volunteers showing up.
programming.dev will migrate over to (lemmy compatible) Sublinks once it’s ready, which will feature a different set of mod features. For that reason we will need new moderators to have an active programming.dev account. If you’re willing keep an active user account on our instance let me know. We would prefer people we know will actively use their mod account to make sure reports are handled in a timely manner.
I’m pretty sure it’s generating racially diverse nazis due to companies tinkering with the prompts under the hood to counterweight biases in the training data. A naive implementation of generative AI wouldn’t output black or Asian nazis.
it doesn’t have EQ or sociological knowledge.
It sort of does (in a poor way), but they call it bias and tries to dampen it.
The team is fairly unison in wanting to avoid defederation as much as possible and leave it users to filter out content they personally don’t enjoy. Programming is a big and diverse field, and we want to make it as open as possible to everyone. Unless the instance breaks our own rules as described in the sidebar under “federation rules”, I feel like it would be an overreach by us to defederate an instance due to personal opinion.
@Ategon@programming.dev might give a more precise date, but unless there is an important security update, we prefer to wait 1-2 weeks to see how the update goes.
