This is one of two framed Gundam posters I have hanging in my home; I got it for like a dollar at a stationary store type place in Malaysia ~ #anime #mecha #mobilesuitgundam #gundam #art #arts #scifi #geek #nerd #geeks #nerds #otaku #sciencefiction #scifiart

It's still funny that Index has a guy with a bar code on his face (and for no particular reason), lol.

I don't think a cultural argument is bad per se, although it's better along with a philosophical / scientific one.

@olives@qoto.org The AI didn't get the memo that those were supposed to be tentacles? 😋

Nothing like an AI generating an anime girl with a few extra legs.

I don't know what that sticker is for but it must be something magical...?

It kind of makes sense that you might not want your professional life to intersect with your personal life (i.e. Linkedin trying to become some kind of social network).

Arkansas' social media "age verification" law has been blocked by a judge for violating the First Amendment.

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do Curiously, there is a CSS media feature for testing whether someone prefers light or dark mode (which is useful for accessibility purposes), although it's a bit of an obscure one.

You'd think that Russia being so thrilled by that proposed cybercrime treaty would be more of a red flag.

@mark @lauren developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do
There sort of is something like that in the spec, although I'm not sure how widely honored this setting is, or how accessible it is to users.

@lauren I personally find dark mode easier on my eyes, although I understand that it might not be good for everyone.

I imagine dark mode is used more because it's cool than anything related to vision though.

An option would be nice.

@chikorita157 I'm confused by your moderation decisions.

You block instances with pure art, and alright, perhaps you have your own preferences on that.

But, then, you only "reject media" on an instance which gained recent infamy for being bad at moderating real child porn photos (to the point our admin blocked it entirely).

Looks like the Fandom Post has gotten a bit of engagement.

Anti puritan starter kit:

Unsurprisingly, a lot of puritanical arguments involve porn.

Porn is not associated with sexism.

qoto.org/@olives/1104622745318 Meta analysis of 59 studies didn't find that porn is linked to sex crimes.

There are even studies showing less crime with higher levels of porn use, even among criminals.

In regards to "sexualization in video games", some studies have chosen cut offs which are very difficult to distinguish from noise.

This drastically increases the number of false positives. Even here, they have often found results which appear to contradict their hypothesis.

The meta analysis fails to find a link between this and sexism or mental well being.

While I posted a bit of nudity (anime bathing, but that's pretty tame) where it made sense to advocate for free expression, I'm avoiding posting anything too lewd for followers as I discuss a fair bit of policy here, lol.

Judged? The judge. That is a typo. A funny typo but a typo nonetheless, lol.
