Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Web of Links
- !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw"
- !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don't say!)

Though then have to be careful. I had a requirement to implement a security feature in an unfamiliar language. I gave it a shot and upon reviewing the output, if the code had worked as it wrote it, then it would have had a gaping security hole a mile wide making things worse than they already were, and the bit needed to implement the security was a waste of time. In this case, two wrongs made a right, as it also hallucinated some functions that didn't exist so the code wouldn't have even built.
I can see LLM integrated into the IDE maybe providing a quicker entry to some very obvious logic, but it's a careful UI consideration in terms of balancing offering helpful capabilities versus making the user undo a bunch of times when it was in fact not helpful.
This is just Advanced Intellisence, something Visual Studio already supports. And again - that's totally fine. I appreciate an occasional "Did you realize you don't actually use that declared variable anywhere? Here, let me make that code more legible for you." coding assist.
But you're not getting an end-to-end automation of a Full Stack Development job and it was crazy to think you would.
Note that I would imagine it as a bit more, like recognizing a pattern where you are going to want to iterate over some iterable and do something super common, I could see an LLM managing to do that better than something like current code completion solutions can. Could also extend it in ways not normally feasible. For example, use something like golang and the IDE can do crazy amounts of completion because so much is specified. In a more loose scenario like javascript or python, the traditional approach can do... some, but a lot more gaps appear since things are too open ended for those approaches to work.
The thing I cited was like a 12 line function that I figured it would get right. But it failed and hallucinated. I had to resort to like result 7 or 8 in an internet search before someone offered a correct solution, so it's still matching my LLM experience so far, not any better than blindly clicking the first search result and hoping for the best. It can handle some token swap out compared to a traditional copy/paste, but ultimately you are best served by finding the most well maintained library to offload if it's not something you really need to write yourself.
