  • I have yet to meet a woman I’m close enough friends with who doesn’t have a personal sexual assault story. Not a harrassment story, an SA story. Could just be bad luck but i don’t think it is. It also lines right up with the statistic that 3/4 women get sexually assaulted before 30 (that stat is from memory, but I’ll try and track it down in a bit.)

    I believe It is much worse than you think.

    EDIT: so on the stat I popped: NSVRC says 1 in 5 women in their lifetimes and RAINN says 1 in 6 in their lifetime. It’s been a while since i’d read that stat so it makes sense it’d be off.(though it is disappointing just how far off it ended up being, big whiff on my part) Those stat pages also have numbers for men as well












  • This has been covered over and over. The bottom line is usually that devs view Linux as too varied a market for native support. There is always at least a claim that Linux bug reports far outpace windows and mac reports per-capita, and it does not sound unrealistic overall as a reality.

    Proton also runs games well quite often. I would imagine that proton’s presence is in fact even more incentive to not support native Linux systems, since you aren’t really losing that userbase so long as the game still runs on proton.







  • That’s a view from the perspective of utility, yeah. The downvotes here are likely also from a ethics standpoint, since most LLMs currently trained are doing so by using other peoples’ work without permission, all while using large amounts of water for cooling, and energy from our mostly coal-powered grid. This is also not mentioning the physical and emotional labor that many untrained workers are required to do when sifting through the datasets of these LLMs, removing unsavory data for extremely low wages.

    A smaller, more specialized LLM could likely perform this same functionality with a much less training, on a more exclusive data set (probably only a couple of terabytes at its largest I’d wager), and would likely be small enough to run on most users’ computers after training. That’d be the more ethical version of this use case.
