I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

  • For big ones it is a time commitment thing, but for small ones I have tried to do my part.

    I have found I generally have the time to act as a caretaker for some small communities, and there are more than a couple communities out there which have lone creator accounts that have been deleted and are essentially unmoderated (outside of instance admins).

    I found a couple of these, !canada@lemmy.ml and !firefox@lemmy.ml, and decided I could help watch them as a result.

    If they are fairly small I would definitely recommend it to anyone else - for me, by far and large, I find that the users who engage with these communities are really very respectful and create good conversation about the topics, which makes my role very simple most of the time.


  • if y’all hate it this much why you use it in your daily life

    A hammer can be used to build a house.

    A hammer can also be used to break every window on a house.

    I don’t think people on an AI community hate AI and therefore hate your project, I think they just hate the project you have made.

    This is probably because there is no sensible narrative, a lack of interesting cinematography, awful music that cuts in and out at weird times, weird cuts that don’t flow, no real dialogue, etc.

    As a film I couldn’t tell anyone what it is about or why they should watch it based on the trailer - the entire point of a trailer is to establish this.

    This isn’t so much poor AI as it is extremely poor film making.













  • Like others said, you did fine. Make yourself safe, report it, call security if required, but also understand that when people are under extreme duress such as the death of a loved one, they want to blame anyone and anything.

    People have a really hard time coping with the fact that people often die without reason, unceremoniously, to such a degree that they feel they have been wronged by something or someone, even if there isn’t anything to blame.

    When this happens they may pick something they perceive as being in proximity to the event to blame to try to make sense of it. It might be disease, the equipment, the medication, a family member, or in this case yourself.

    You deal with this by knowing the facts of what happened, and knowing you did your best and aren’t to blame, and by understanding that people lash out when they are upset.

    Nothing you could have said would have helped the situation with this person in their state, so saying nothing and leaving to de-escalate the situation is 100% the best thing you could have done.




  • 1 - Ask them if they can either not drop the weights, or if the time this occurs can be adjusted to make it less of a problem. Document that you asked them somehow including date, time, what was said in the request, and how the request was sent.

    2 - If nothing can be fixed through step 1 review your condo rules and verify if they are breaching them by doing what they are doing, see what fines are like for each breach of whatever rules is covered by this. If there are no rules for this, you are basically screwed and should either lobby your condo board/property manager for a change in rules or move.

    3 - Set up a camera/mic and have your phone handy. Record the noise when it happens noting the date and time.

    4 - Submit a complaint to the condo board/property manager every time this happens including the date and time and the recorded evidence, citing which rules are being broken. Be prepared when you start doing this that your neighbor might try to retaliate. If they retaliate by making the noise worse, do the same thing recording it and sending it up the line. If you play music really loud or whatever, they may also try to retaliate by submitting complaints about you - try to not let them catch you out on that.

    Eventually, if your property management/condo rules are set up in a reasonable way they would either stop, get evicted by their landlord who is now receiving fines, or be evicted by proxy because the fines are too numerous and expensive. Repeatedly making complaints to your board/property manager usually gets them involved pretty quickly because it creates a constant nuisance they can’t easily ignore.
