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.

May I ask for the fastfetch config file, for.. Uhm... Research purposes ? :3

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, I just have this image, I wish this was a screenshot from my computer!

[–] nope@jlai.lu 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's OK, but I... Will hunt for the config é.è

Edit : I have located the boykisser :3 Save it to a .txt, copy the path, then when you run neofetch/fastfetch add --source /path/to/boykisser.txt You can also add | lolcat to make the output rainbow :3

to make this work with fastfetch, as --source isn't an option, you can instead run cat /path/to/boykisser.txt | lolcat -f | fastfetch --file-raw -

Alternatively, you can set "logo": { "type": "command-raw", "source": "cat /path/to/boykisser.txt | lolcat -f" } in your fastfetch config.

PS - Thank you for finding the boykisser art ;3

Oh, THAT'S why the command is called "cat".

posting this bait and not sharing the config is cruel and unusual

[–] nope@jlai.lu 5 points 1 week ago

Missed the opportunity to say "OwO what's nix?" But 9/10 great work

Anyone care to explain to this half literate what everything between kernel and WM is? (including those terms)

[–] nope@jlai.lu 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is the output of a command like neofetch or fastfetch, which are two programs that give extensive info about a computer. You can configure these programs' outputs as you wish.

The icon on the left usually represents the (Linux) distribution of the OS (I.e. Ubuntu, Debian, arch).
on the right, you get

  • OS (Linux distribution, or flavour)
  • Host, which is the machine's name, it can be set by the user but it's usually the laptop's model, or motherboard I guess if on a big computer
  • the kernel is the "core" of an os, which makes it able to use the CPU, GPU, keyboard, camera, etc
  • uptime, or how long the computer has been awake since last boot
  • packages tells you how many packages are installed; packages can be programs, libraries, or about anything, that you can install with a package manager which is, here, DPKG; flatpak can install packages in a more containerised, isolated way
  • shell is the interpreter you use for commands in your terminal (fish, bash, zsh). Most are pretty similar
  • resolution is the screen resolution
  • DE is the desktop environment. It's the thing that provides almost everything that's not an app in a window, I.e. your desktop, notifications, etc. It can be Cinnamon, KDE Plasma, ...
  • WM is the window manager; it puts apps inside windows so that you can easily move them around
  • wm theme, and theme are themes applied to the DE and WM that alter how the interface is looking like; you could probably make it copy window's theme if you wanted
  • Icons is the icon pack used for app icons Kalong with system icons like emojis, symbols (WiFi, battery), etc)
  • terminal is the interface that lets you control your machine from a command line (it runs your shell inside which interprets commands)
  • CPU is CPU
  • GPU is GPU (one of them is integrated, the other is discrete (it will be used for extensive calculations only, I.e. games, but the DE and WM usually use the integrated one, unless you want otherwise)
  • memory is ram
  • and the colours at the end show you what the terminal will use when it is asked to print things in xyz color (to show errors, etc) (because yeah you can choose them)

Hope it's a bit clearer lol, even tho I am far from knowing exactly what stuff is

P.S. i just noticed you did not ask for an everything explanation, sorry for the linux-splaining

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

thanks! i appreciate the full explanation actually, that'll also help those who don't know the terms I do know. :3
