  • Bad faith is applying the same bad rhetoric/logic to two groups and act like it's perfectly fine and reasonable in one instance but really awful in the other. Especially if one group is literally a subset of the other. It's not a "gotcha", it's an attempt to make you realize what you're doing. Prejudice is bad, no exceptions.

  • Why not say that instead of using needlessly divisive blanket statements?

    On the other hand, calling out random assholes is a good way to get punched in the face, especially as a man. People aren't grossly misbehaving because they accidentally forgot their manners at home that evening.

  • we can even acknowledge that a lot of men have raped people without knowing it

    I wouldn’t go as far as to call them rapists because that was not their intention

    I see what you're getting at, but I really wouldn't use that word in any context where there might have been, for example, any power dynamic or some form of coercion. I believe that keeping it reserved for situations where violence or significant coercion are involved is better for everyone, especially the victims.

    Doesn't mean using mild coercion/emotional blackmail/pestering/shaming/... is okay behaviour, not at all, it's just that saying no/leaving won't usually do much beyond change the relationship between the people involved. Talking about that is fine, good and needed, using "rape" to describe it will probably shut down any conversation before it can even begin, though.

    I'd also argue that that sort of behaviour is something both men and women engage in, maybe in different ways but, well, the expectation on men is to always be sexually available, so it sometimes becomes an issue when they are not. Mutual respect and understanding really are the most important things in a relationship, both participants are fully realized human beings, not just "the girlfriend/wife" or "the boyfriend/husband". But people seem to forget that sometimes and I don't know what can be done about that.

  • Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought

    Jump

  • I'm surprised that they are surprised by this as well. What did they expect, and why? How much of this is written to imply LLMs - their business - are more advanced/capable than they actually are?

  • There is a lot of overlap, TERFs usually have a problem with trans women because they deeply mistrust men. The "R" is there for a reason.

  • Yep, it is straight-up malware. Just like most mail clients on Android and especially iOS. At least there they have the (terrible) excuse of doing it to save power by having their server push new mail notifications through the OS' infrastructure instead of having the app wake the device up all the time.

  • "Ines Schwerdtner, warum keine Waffen für die Ukraine?" 🇺🇦 Staiy im Talk mit der Linken

    Jump

  • Was ich nicht verstehe ist warum es so wichtig ist die Unterstützung der Ukraine sofort einzustellen und dann irgendwas mit Diplomatie zu versuchen. Selbst auf der Seite der Linken zum Thema steht nichts zu den konkreten Ideen China (als hätten die überhaupt Interesse) und die Afrikanische Union mit ins Boot zu holen.

    Wäre doch eigentlich viel sinnvoller beides zu machen, oder? Sonst sitzten die Ukrainer am Verhandlungstisch in einer geschwächten Position und können nur den durchgedrehten Imperialisten um Gnade bitten.

  • die Außenpolitik ist der Punkt, wo ich auch anderer Meinung bin (FCKPTN). Aber der Kampf gegen den Faschismus und der größer werdenden Schere zwischen Arm und Reich sind mir wichtiger.

    Putin ist meiner Meinung auch Faschist, die Position der Linken zum Ukrainekrieg ergibt für mich einfach keinen Sinn. Ist wirklich schade.

  • I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s

    Jump

  • Yep, and they suck at analogies too. The old format usually had fairly enlightened people encounter an injustice, usually making it right in some way. It's morality theater. Discovery made the Federation itself dark and edgy and the people on board a complete mess, not a world I'd like to live in. Maybe that's what some people perceive when they complain about "politics".

  • Etcher seems stable! But it's also a well over 100 MB download for a disk image writer. Rufus does more in less than 1% of the download size and also has a GUI.

  • Take the computer from a real artist, they can still make art. Do the same to an AI "artist" and see how long they keep claiming to be such.

    Jump

  • It's a lot like commissioning something from an artist. You have to describe what you want, with the style, details and mood you want to see, then maybe go back and forth a few times until it's just right. Doing that well is a skill, so are things like art direction. But replacing the humans executing on the direction with a machine doesn't suddenly make the directing human an artist.

  • If you like Arch you might like Void, it has roughly similar ideals and a very fast package manager. No AUR equivalent though.

  • I'm about 2 decades in too, really not here to argue since everything has already been said multiple times. I do see systemd in a somewhat similar light as Pulseaudio. Yes, some good ideas there and it's a useful tool, but it wasn't the be-all end-all solution.
