Haven't tested it but it seems so. Android client has the button too

Actually no, it isn't personal

It comes from the very same thing you wrote in the second part of this post. No-one on Lemmy gets paid for their work. And communities have to be easy to set up, so "the committee" does not become a burned-out, too-powerful, bottleneck
But that means that it is also OUR (non-mod, just a lemming) responsibility to mark stuff that we feel is out of line, when we have the capacity to do so. If lemmy.world agrees this is out of line, simply blocking and muting does not help the wider community, only solves the problem for me. Anyone else coming in with fresh account will see this shit on the front, local posts page

And yes, the ones crossing the lines can easily come back. And I probably won't catch them next time because I'll be busy with my RL. That's fine
What I do have control over is whether I cover the eyes or not. When I don't have capacity to mark something, I cover them and move along. Other times, I flag them. In this situation I couldn't find a report button for a whole community so created a post

It's the same as a pile of trash on the pavement. If it's not a burden in their schedule, a regular member of public should call the city about it. And when they don't have time to do that, hopefully someone else will, that were busy the other day. How many of these someone-elses there are is not something we can control. But we can control if we are the someone else ATM

If we want to have corp-less commons, we have to be part of the team sometimes, when we have the capacity to do so
I had for this one, and now I'm moving on with my life :) ✌

Ok so now you’re asking to speak to the managers manger, and that’s gunna be the developers dude.

Yeah, but maybe there is a button for that already, and I just can't find it

I get your sentiment bc I have to follow tos myself. But can I ask what other stuff would you put in the category of harmful? Just asking straight not yelling at you here.

I don't have a straight up list for that but some other examples I'd say would be:

  • how to get everything mortgaged to invest in our casino
  • how to get diazepine by cooking up cough pills (I'm inventing the names here)
  • how to spot
  • maybe-snuff videos

I find the porn shit to be in the obscene annoying category. Like I’m in a field trying to catch butterflies and all there are, are fucking mosquitos lol

To me it's not the porn that's the problem, it's the attitude in the community description
Not so long ago there have been repeated news about mistreatment of women in India. Big part of Hindu ethnicity lives in India. IMO this kind of content normalizes aggressive objectification
I know that porn is just a fantasy. But it seems (I won't be spending time on searching for the papers, sorry. These are ~last year, so shouldn't be hard to find) that for some reason this kind of fantasy does induce intimacy problems

I know that there are many others like that and there are other areas of human life that gets skewed with content-insatiability and marketing. But if I can't mark them all IMO doesn't mean I shouldn't mark the one I see

And to freedom-fighters:
Lemmy being a federation, if someone wants to create a server about cooking aspirin, I'm fine with that. But I chose this instance also because of what was in the rules. I felt that community was crossing the line and asked if mods feel the same

[–] INeedMana 10 points 5 days ago (4 children)

But that's just a block for me. Not a removal. I think harmful stuff should be removed

 

Honest question about the acceptance lines, not trying to trigger a response

Personally, I feel this is misogynistic and derogatory. But maybe I'm the one out of line

Btw, is there some other way to flag a whole community to the mods?

I would also keep the "on speed" part. Even if the band aren't users

Prince Wang's programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the keyboard. The program compiled without and error message, and the program ran like a gentle wind.

"Excellent!" the Prince exclaimed. "Your technique is faultless!"

"Technique?" said the programmer, turning from his terminal, "What I follow is Tao -- beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off."

In general the impression I have from reading various sources is that Cyberpunk missions are good sources

[–] INeedMana 1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

So far I like some of missions in Tales of Night City.

You mean this?

[–] INeedMana 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, in the end you'll always end up doing an inspiration rather than running it directly. But among pre-prepared missions there are those that are flexible and those that rely on assumptions. I was hoping that maybe someone had looked at this book and has an opinion which category these fall in

 

I'm always on the lookout for run inspirations. But many Shadowrun missions were hit or miss

[–] INeedMana 3 points 3 weeks ago

It was a great adventure. But yeah, that setup was on 24/7. Not because of compilation, but it definitely made a lot of this more feasible

 

Has anyone looked at it? How streamlined it really is? Is this overhaul cohesive?

 

Alien RPG Starter Set has a discount currently. I think I've heard somewhere that it's doing some things well but I don't remember what & where. And I very rarely can get answers to my questions from description or reviews.
Does anyone have experience with it?

  • How the system works? (d20/d6 pool/special dice/similar to X/etc)
  • Rather crunchy or narrative?
  • Are there some system elements that play into the feel of the setting?
 

Cthulhu Hack, the simple and accessible Mythos tabletop roleplaying game from Just Crunch Games. This fast-playing standalone investigative game, based on David Black's minimalist fantasy RPG The Black Hack, pits ordinary people against the sanity-shattering horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. With simple Save die-rolls and three resources (Flashlights, Smokes, and Sanity), Cthulhu Hack deftly supports published Investigations and campaigns for any Mythos RPG. Learn the whole system in 20 minutes, teach it to your players in five minutes more, and in another five their characters will be ready for a slow spiral into self-destruction.

That piqued my interest, so I thought I'd share

OpenTitan open-source chip (spectrum.ieee.org)
 

I was very excited to see that open hardware seems to be happening, despite my perception

But it seems that OpenTitan is somehow connected to Google. And now I'm conflicted

I know that eventually the answer is "whatever I want" but I would like to hear what others think.

There's an MCT oil rig on Baltic Sea. Anarchists from Kronstadt noticed peculiar data transfer some time ago going there and managed to hijack the place. Then they transmitted message that they are an eco terrorist group (I did not specify which one to my players) and demand MCT to stop polluting. After that, folded the satellite dish to buy some time for the decker and rigger to look around the host.

Now, from a point of, for example, TerraFist. An oil rig nearby is in disarray, none of their contacts in other groups say they're doing it. And MCT HTR is definitely on its way.
Does it make sense for them to come to the rig and make contact/make sure it gets disabled/make trouble for HTR?

I think their appearance has potential to turn this job into a nice chaotic clusterfuck and opportunity to show my players some variety of the world (they would definitely come on a yacht going superspeed with help of a spirit).
But does it make any sense at all for anyone besides me?

I might be wrong but I'm 90% sure the Shadowrun (ttrpg) community was on this instance. Now I can't find it anywhere (cross-instance community search doesn't find it too) and I can see in my profile that my posts sent there disappeared too.
Was the community closed? I couldn't find this info in the modlog

Blades' "skip to the action"+retrospective+stress mechanics worked really well for my table.

I'm looking for other systems and homebrews that would allow us to "plan" the heists later, during the actual action.
