“CP/M, originally standing for Control Program/Monitor and later Control Program for Microcomputers, is a mass-market operating system created in 1974 for Intel 8080/85-based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc. Initially confined to single-tasking on 8-bit processors and no more than 64 kilobytes of memory, later versions of CP/M added multi-user variations and were migrated to 16-bit processors.” – taken from Wikipedia (link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M) Want to learn more? Follow the link: http://www.digitalresearch.biz/CPM.HTM Of particular note is the web site run by Gaby Chaudry: http://www.gaby.de/ecpm.htm Another excellent resource is the Unofficial CP/M Web Site (link below) which boasts tons of software and source code that is unable to be distributed otherwise. (link: http://www.cpm.z80.de/) Have questions? Need help getting started? Just ask! CP/M 2.2 seems to be the most popular for those still working with / on the system. If not on legacy hardware, SIMH and Oracle’s VirtualBox are good PC emulators to start with. Interested in an open source CP/M clone?

This is Lemmy's first PCem community. 86Box discussion are allowed! From emulation.gametechwiki.com: PCem (an acronym for Personal Computer emulator) is an open-source, low-level PC emulator developed for Windows and Linux by Sarah Walker. It focuses on PC hardware from the 1980's and 1990's. A variety of operating systems can be installed in the emulator, which can then be used to launch programs. Official PCem website: pcem-emulator.co.uk PCem forum: https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3

A community for discussing emulation and preservation of retro games. This community is intended for discussing the art of emulation, the tooling involved and retro gaming in general; it is not intended as a dump of ROM files.

Discussion and News forum for all things video game emulation related, or tangentially. Platform agnostic. Mobile is welcome too. We'll keep it loose, but more focused on emulation. Piracy discussion is allowed, that's one reason we're on this domain. A General Discussion will be stickied for the community to chat in about whatever. Staying on topic isn't important in any GD stickies. *** **Rules** [#1: Obey our domain rules first and foremost.](https://sh.itjust.works/) - TheDude abides. Try to be like The Dude here. #2: Mundane Tech Support/ROM Sourcing Questions should to be kept to the sticky posts, unless it's something *novel/interesting* others might want to see. - if the community grows, the stickies should be renewed monthly. #3: Unless it's *at least* tangentially relevant to emulation, no politics. Don't get your toque in a knot. #4: Be nice, and consider reporting an offending hoser of #4 instead of responding to mean people to begin with. Inspired by negative impressions of /r/ROMS: #5a: Strive to be polite & patient with noobs asking questions. - We all start somewhere. #5b: Doesn't mean be a doormat. - Report rude, unjustifiably entitled, or ungrateful users asking questions too. *** **Helpful Links** Good shaders for stuff like retroarch: https://github.com/RetroCrisis/Retro-Crisis-GDV-NTSC https://docs.libretro.com/shader/crt_royale/ [Boxart](https://www.thecoverproject.net/) https://r-roms.github.io/ Get all your games here, retro and up. r/ROMs reddit community's game link aggregator.

**Comic Strips** is a community for those who love comic stories. ##### Rules 1. **😇 Be Nice!** - Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: **friendly**. 1. **🏘️ 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. 1. **🧬 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. 1. **📽️ 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](https://tineye.com/) 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! 1. **📋 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., \ ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/ \ ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/ 1. **📬 Post Frequency/SPAM** - Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed. 1. **🏴‍☠️ 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., \ `Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]` 1. **🍿 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. 1. Jago 1. Stonetoss 1. GPrime85 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: - [Markdown - Links / Images](https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/markdown#links-images) 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](https://lemmy.world/post/45416843)) ##### Web of Links - !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw" - !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don't say!) ##### Other Comic Communities of Interest - !bloomcounty@sopuli.xyz - !calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world - !cyanideandhappiness@discuss.online - !exo@discuss.online - !foxtrot@slrpnk.net - !garfield@lemmy.world - !moomin@sopuli.xyz - !oglaf@discuss.online (NSFW) - !outland@slrpnk.net - !pbf@discuss.online - !peanuts@discuss.online - !smbc@discuss.online - !theboondocks@slrpnk.net - !thefarside@sh.itjust.works - !xkcd@lemmy.world - !NoseEars@lemy.lol

Everything related to print comics (comic books, graphic novels, and strips) and web comics. Artists are encouraged to post their own work. News...

This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨 Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities. **Rules** AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI). NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side. Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first. Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Follow the site-wide rules - Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/ - Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html ::: :::spoiler 2. Be civil - Understand the difference between a joke and an insult. - Do not harrass or attack users *for any reason*. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of *thing*". - Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals. - Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the *thing* you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice. - **Bigotry of any kind** will not be tolerated. **This is an LGBTQ\+-friendly community** -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave. ::: ::: spoiler 3. Post Linux-related content - Including Unix and BSD. - Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of `sudo` in Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting. - Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community. ::: :::spoiler 4. No recent reposts - Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment.

Keep in mind that **this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun**, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement. - We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated. - Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ::: &nbsp; Please report posts and comments that break these rules! --- **Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify**, especially here.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life. Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: - [Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math](https://lemmy.world/post/23547978) - [When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.](https://lemmy.world/post/1217406) - [More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else](https://lemmy.world/post/22938190) # Rules 1. All posts must be showerthoughts 2. The entire showerthought must be in the title 3. No politics - If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse. - A good place for politics is [c/politicaldiscussion](https://lemmy.world/c/politicaldiscussion) 4. Posts must be original/unique 5. Adhere to Lemmy's [Code of Conduct](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html) and the [TOS](https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/) ____ If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner. Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

General rules: - Be kind. - All posts must make an attempt to be funny. - Obey the general sh.itjust.works instance rules. - No politics or political figures. There are plenty of other politics communities to choose from. - Don't post anything grotesque or potentially illegal. Examples include pornography, gore, animal cruelty, inappropriate jokes involving kids, etc. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the mods.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins. ========== Other universes to visit: !lotrmemes@midwest.social !tenforward@lemmy.world Separatist systems: !prequelmemes@lemmy.world Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps): !star_wars@lemmy.world !starwars@lemmy.ml !starwarstelevision@lemmy.world ========== **IMPORTANT** **Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta** ========== Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few. The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway: 1) This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic. 2) We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other. 3) As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side! 4) Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars. 5) Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost). 6) Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance. 7) Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world. The rundown: 1. Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, English, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome. 2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.] 3. No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims. 4. Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply. - Comments or sources that call into question the validity of trans identities will be removed. - Abortion and contraceptive access are considered human rights in this community. Sources that disagree may be removed. 5. Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion. **Independent journalism* is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting. **Current* depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.] - For a less serious news community, check out: !wildfeed@sh.itjust.works Canadian-based independent news: !indy_news_canada@sh.itjust.works All communities were created with the goal of increasing [media literacy](https://medialiteracynow.org/) and [media pluralism.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_pluralism) - Some of the independent news sources posted here: **Australia** https://independentaustralia.net/ https://theklaxon.com.au/ **Canada** https://breachmedia.ca/ https://www.cpac.ca/ https://indiginews.com/ https://rabble.ca/ https://thegauntlet.ca/ https://thehub.ca/ https://thewalrus.ca/ **Germany** https://www.disorient.de/ **India** https://factordaily.com/ https://countercurrents.org/ https://scroll.in/ https://www.reporters-collective.in/ **Philippines** https://verafiles.org/ **Russia** https://meduza.io/en (based in Latvia) **South Africa** https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/ https://groundup.org.za/about/ **U.K.** https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/ https://observer.co.uk/ https://truepublica.org.uk/ **U.S.A.** https://19thnews.org/ https://www.404media.co/ https://crimethinc.com/ https://www.damemagazine.com/ https://www.democracynow.org/ https://www.npr.org/ https://www.propublica.org/ https://rewirenewsgroup.com/ https://theconversation.com/us https://unicornriot.ninja/ **Global** https://www.theguardian.com/ -

News from around the world! # Rules: * Please only post links to actual news sources, no tabloid sites, etc * No NSFW content * No hate speech, bigotry, propaganda, etc

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺 (Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.) ### Rules (2024-08-30) 1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content. 2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source. 3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at [Wikipedia's List of fallacies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies). 4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel. 5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3). 6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source. 7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities. 8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you. 9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.) 10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first. *(This list may get expanded as necessary.)* ### Posts that link to the following sources will be removed * on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today ([their JS DDoS websites](https://social.coop/@eb/115902323900229756)) * on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera * on Hungary: Euronews Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com *(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)* ### Ban lengths, etc. We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment. If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you. If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write *privately* to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)
