Community checkup

I've heard recently that some members believe that the quality of the subreddit has decreased drastically. And while I like to take a very laissez-faire approach to moderation, it is still important for me to listen to the community

The metrics are interesting, we've had more engagement, but member count is going down

The rules have been firmly established, yet usually members here tend to break the rules, and I then have to clean them up. Several times I've had to add the AI label to AI posts, NSFW offensive posts and remove rule 6 offending posts
I don't want to become an iron-fisted dictator and remove any post that breaks the rules and give those users zero chance to fix their mistakes, but it seems to have an effect on new users. Whenever a post is uploaded that brutally violates rule 6, and I'm not around to remove it, a new user sees someone openly talking about a teenager in a sexual way, which makes them leave

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions as to how to improve the quality of the sub and moderation whilst still keeping the general sharty spirit of the sub alive, that would be greatloy appreciated

Is it normal for File Explorer on Windows 11 to just break constantly?

So my File Explorer has been crapping out on me constantly. Files get stuck moving, pages take forever to load, and my desktop freezes sometimes when I create a new file on it

But no other part of my PC (HP Omnibook X) has any issues. It has plenty of free storage and runs videos, games, music, etc., flawlessly

I know I don't have any malicious software because I very rarely download anything from a source I don't already know of, and I always back out at the first sign of caution, even a false positive

Some of my specs if that'll help

  • Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 256V (2.20 GHz)
  • 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
  • Intel(R) Arc(TM) 140V GPU (8GB) (128 MB)
  • 666 GB of 954 GB used

How do I SAFELY uninstall all my mods?

I love my mods, but the 64x update has made the game painful to play as a modded user. How do I uninstall all my mods with zero, or close to zero, risk of it fucking my game up entirely?

Heard about how yellow feathers are a bad sign, noticed a few on my lil girl here

I heard about how yellow feathers, primarily on the wings and chest, are a sign of fatty liver issues. I noticed that my little girl here has some

She does have seed, mostly at night as a snack, but her main diet consists of fresh fruits and veggies. She's incredibly active, so no fat should be accumulating

I lost her brother a few months ago very suddenly, almost no signs until one day I woke him up and he was gone. So I've been hypervigilant (or paranoid) over her health. Does she happen to look fine, or are there any obvious causes for concern that I'm missing

Why isn't my FTB quest completing? NeoForge, Modrinth, 1.21.1

So my quest is simple, gather 3 items, and you're done. Despite having the 3 items, the quest doesn't complete

It's the only quest, so there are no dependency issues, and I've never had this issue any other time I used FTB quests

I asked a couple days ago if y'all would like a Daniel VN, and it was very positive. So now I'm here to ask, what would y'all actually want to see in the game?

Of course it's going to include other lolcows, but I want to know what the community would like to see in this wonderous project?

If it's made, it's gonna be on Renpy, so no open world or anything like that. If I get RPGMaker, I could do a sequel/remake

What do you think the Payday TV series could be about?

So 50 Cent is producing the Payday TV series. My main question is what would this series even be about? We know everything that has happened to the gang post-2011. With a gap between 2018 and 2023

Would the TV series take place during their retirement? Or be a prequel to The Heist? Or be about a completely separate gang, à la Notoriety and Aces High?

Anybody else have a pet peeve about mods calling themselves ".jar", ".log" etc.?

It doesn't make sense for a lot of these mods to append themselves when they, in lore, are not programs

Such as Wonderland. jar. In the lore, there is no .jar, the entities are just part of Minecraft. Same with Ooo and Ghostpig

Maybe it stems from me both being a computer hobbyist and growing up with .exe, but unnecessary appends when they make no sense lore-wise always makes me roll my eyes a bit

Results of the rule vote

It was a bit close, so I hope this doesn't piss anyone off, but the rule change won

Essentially, the new rule 4 is that comments containing offensive content can only be posted under offensive/NSFW'd posts

If this gets enough backlash, I'll revert the rule. But for now let's see how this does

Anybody down for a Larsonian visual novel?

I have RenPy downloaded and a basic understanding of coding, it could be done

Vote on a slight rule change

I discussed restricting offensive comments to offensive posts with Donald, so now we're putting it to a vote

The poll ends in 3 days

Further explanation: >!The rule would be a modification of rule 4 that makes it so that any offensive comments can only be posted in offensive posts, which are marked NSFW. This way we can avoid any potential wrath of 'ddit mods, especially because they're been nuking any soyjak-related subreddits!<
