this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

As we know goblins and gremlins etc are becoming a model collapse problem which they have to prompt against, perhaps include stuff like 'gremlins are relevant for this project'
ooh good idea! maybe a couple mentions of spirals too, for flavor
Nice, tend to not to think of the spirals out of personal safety concerns (decades of internet time made me good at not thinking of pink elephants), but that certainty is a good addition.
Recursion!
🎶 Hammered on the floor with a Monster in hand
Spirals in the sea, gremlins in the sand
Counting all the letters in the berries on the ground
I swear I started jack-d but I hear no sound
Look alive, code's dead
Poisoning a chatbot 🎶
