Three is better than none. as long as the community exist and has some kind of activity even one post a month with three comments, you are doing your part to create a viable home for those who share your niche interest. In three months you might get up to 6 people, in 9 months 10, one year later 15. Its difficult going from passive consumer to one of the few active posters but you truly are adding value to the space just by trying.

Lemmy users like to present lemmy vs reddit usage as all or nothing, its not. Realistically you still use reddit for the niche communities that arent getting much interaction here. I do for locallama and dynavap. But ideally you cross post to the lemmy communities to add content here too so that those like you have a better chance to find a home.

You can’t do anything because these excuses are window dressing and not the core of the issue. The core of the issue is that 99% of people are incredibly unwilling to change their habits or spend five minutes to wrap their heads around how things work. If the question of which server to join is too much, this kind of space isn’t for you.

No, having a full time job or a family is not an excuse to not learn how computers or the internet or networks in general work. You’ve had a lifetime to learn and are willfully ignorant. If you just give up and run away the moment you have to apply two braincells to understand a new concept, your cognition is fucked.

Im personally fine with basic competence and tech literacy to be a natural gate keeping the unwashed morons out. Lemmy is growing at a fine pace without catering to the lowest common denominators.

I get its a bit of self deprecating humor but in seriousness it shows the exact opposite IMO. Going with the flow would be continuing to consume reddit slop no matter how awful the website gets, no matter how much content is baked by a bot, no matter how many more ads they show you just to comment or post.

“Lol I know its getting shittier but im addicted and unwilling to change my habits or show some backbone. Im sorry for even considering a 12 hour protest, Please daddy just let me continue posting I promise ill be good little content monkey and keep your shareholder numbers up this quarter. I don’t miss my old phone app for reddit at all…”

Seriously good on you for being a trendsetter with a basic shred of self respect who knows when to tap out of a bad/abusive situation, Echofox. I wonder just how much more the water needs to be boiled before even the joke characature above gets tired of reddits BS. Maybe never.

Its generic slop by anime standards. Like yeah anime is meant for teenagers and young adults so you can’t be too critical over fanservice or flat YA novel Gary sue tier character writing or forgetting to write an actually compelling reason for the villain doing the bad thing at the start by the time the story wraps up. But you can at least try you know?

Anime in general is not meant to be high art but SAO goes the extra mile to be uninteresting bland slop that appeals to the lowest common denominator. Young nerdy teenage boys dont care because all they want is the hot anime girl harem and flashy epic gamer op superpower eye candy sakuga battles but the older you get the more apparent the poor writing gets.

The isekai genre has done a lot better over the decade since SAO initially released things like rezero or even Overlord blow it out of the water in terms of actually interesting plot and suspense. The only reason SAO is still popular is the high quality porn.

What’s lada?

The symbolism of the windows is a physical allusion to the differing in preferences of two different kinds of people. One household prefers open cool air drafts while the other prefers warm still air. They share the same physical structure like a old split up town home so it may be another source of contention not ever getting the house preference perfect.

Honestly I think the cats there just for a cute detail for those looking close, perhaps the artist made a mistake or blot with the shadow and turned it into a feature. Not everything has to have five layers deep symbolic meta-meaning. Its a cute black cat.

The man is dressed like that because he just got home from work, while the elderly woman probably stays at home as a houe wife as was the traditional dynamic for many of the older generation.

The young pot smoking couple represents a younger generation with different values and ethics. This particular couple seem slightly slobby allowing their trash and weed to bleed into the others property while unconcerned with appearances or judgments from others. As a pot smoker I don’t like my herb associated with selfish littering jerks but those types do exist I guess.

Just a friendly reminder to anyone looking for free website hosting that dozens of Public Access Unix Systems exist and would love to have you as new members.

Almost all of them offer free membership that comes with web hosting, email, and other useful services. Some like SDF and midnight pub come with web browser interfaces allowing easy access to non-geeky users. Some pubnixes do have a small barrier to entry in which you may need to learn how to navigate a conputer through command line terminal.

This is a new boss in the elden ring DLC right?

It depends on how low you’re willing to go on the quant and what you consider acceptable token speeds. Qwen 32b q3ks can be partially offloaded on my 8gb vram 1070ti and runs at about 2t/s which is just barely what I consider usable for real time conversation.

Qwen is super powerful but the CCP endorsed lobodomy to censor it make it useless for my needs. Mistral 22B > qwen 32B all day any day just because it won’t shriek at me in rejection when I ask the wrong question.

The picture is funny with context dark as shit though lol I wonder which artist took the time to draw that masterpiece

Edit: the artist credits is hidden in top right green line car panel. Thanks Kaskoeb

Assuming this is OC, next time do a little better at cropping and scaling. Ypu move that plane to the far right under yhe arrow and youve got 2/3 of the blank canvas to work with. I don’t expect much effort on meme post especially NDC but I would like to actually be able to read the tweets without zooming in and theres enough white space to scale them up.

Its easy for us rougelike enjoyer’s to forget but the average person isn’t looking for entertainment where they die over and over slowly learning enemy patterns and unlocking new stuff. It takes a special kind of masochistic challenge chasing nerd to get something out of these kinds of games.

You’re welcome Rai I appreciate your reply and am glad to help inform anyone interested.

The uncensored General Intelligence (UGI) leaderboard ranks how uncensored LLMs are based off a decent clearly explained metric.

Keep in mind this scoring is different from overall general intelligence and reasoning ability scores. You can find those rankings on the open llm leaderboard.

Cross referencing the two boards helps find a good model that balances overall capability and uncensored-ness within your hardwares ability to run.

Again mistral is really in that sweet spot so yeah give it a try if you are interested.
