The issue isn’t how unlikely the situation is, it’s “why would you choose harrassment”.

He is not just saying that she is a man, he is saying that she is a scammer. In your 90% chances that she is a man, she might also be trans-adjacent (everyone knows there are no horny trans on lemmy), and still not be a scammer. It is trivial to find out whether she is in fact a scammer, as all communications are public. Scammers do not like niche platforms composed entirely of scam-hardened people where all communications are public.

I’m not going to make arbitrary numbers here, I’ll let you bayes-vibe your own. Given how easy it is to actually find out, and how likely he is to be defaming and how bad it could be for her, he should be contacting an admin rather than make public “meme” accusations. If he did in fact believe she was a scammer and could harm people, I hope he would try to get her banned rather than just be toxic for internet points and let people get scammed. Especially bad when the accusations are repeated, by him and different people.

BTW I think 90% chance is way too much. Anyways. I’ve been told it wasn’t very nice to spend my days transvestigating, and here are everyone running an excavation. But I guess it’s ok since everyone’s doing it :shrug:

You guys are insane. Unusual people exist. Lemmy DMs are visible by instance admins. Ask them if they see any DMs that looks suspicious.

And then maaybe stop defaming her? Like, this post should be ban worthy by any reasonable instance and community rules?

Is it me or is it always the 50 years olds that say this shit? Like idk maybe you guys are particularily bad at guessing how gen Z behaves. I definitely know at least one woman IRL that would post like that. Two if I’m being generous. Not a majority but they fucking exist. And it turns out Lemmy isn’t exactly filled with the most normal normies.

The two related “policies” are rather short, you should read them if you haven’t.

AI shouldn’t be altering databases of knowledge, especially when it is so inconsistent

The policy only allows usage as an auto-translater (a task at which they are not worst than old-style auto-translaters that were always allowed) and as spellcheck/grammarcheck (where it is also not worst than other allowed options).

None of those tools were previously seen as altering Wikipedia by themselves. The goal is that LLMs should be used and considered like they were.

To be clear they always were articles for creation submitted from clearly google-translated text, and they always were dismissed as slop. To get an autotranslated article accepted, you need to clean it up until all the information is correct and the grammar is good enough. This is a rather standard workflow for translations. The same thing should apply to LLMs.

The new issue here is that LLMs can “organically” change informations while asked to translate. When a classic autotranslate changes the information, it often (not always) leaves a notable mess in the grammar. LLMs will insert their errors much more cleanly. This is acknowledged by both texts and, well, texts will change if that becomes a reocurring issue.

So, yeah, flatpak is horribly inneficient on disk usage and can easily take 60GB if you are a bit generous on app installs. 60GB is, notably, less than 1.4TB

Out of curiosity, how did you search for what was using up the space? Did you try apps like baobab or filelight? One of them is usually preinstalled and they have not failed me yet (except when hard-linking or copy-on-write is involved, but that shouldn’t show up on the global disk usage percentage)

Read the dam things you post >_<

“ch” is sometimes pronounced “k” in some languages, but then it’s quite rare

After considering the issue for a while, I think people just really really want to see dicks everywhere

It’s flatpak. Not snap, by god, not snap.

It’s inefficient, but he is stating that he is now using “only 600GB”, so I would guess it shouldn’t be that notable to someone who thinks 600GB is not much.

I used to dislike it, but consider that Flatpak is allowing a lot of small distros to exist outside of Debian/RHEL/Arch. Void, Chimera, Adélie or Guix (insert yours here) “only” have to implement a desktop environment and Flatpak to be usable. It’s not ideal and it kind of goes against the point of those distros, but they definitely couldn’t package Flathub’s 3300 apps themselves. Especially the proprietary ones that only provide a .deb and .rpm.

Also the sandboxing is nice when installing proprietary stuff. I don’t want Microsoft Team drooling all over my stuff.

I can see why someone would say that basing your ethics and politics on local tradition rather than, for exemple, utilitarism, is pointless and shouldn’t even be considered.

In practice nobody truly follows their theorical ethical stance. Conservative* politicians usually take a vague inspiration from conservatism, and base most of their decisions on whatever will get them in power. That usually means opposition when they’re not up there, and holding the most popular opinions regardless of whether they match their ideology.

The ethics-practice gap is especially large for politicians, that sometimes don’t even believe the opinions that they are supporting. But as a general statement, humans are so bad at having coherent opinions that they can not be dismissed for having an incorrect ethical basis. Or fully trusted for having a correct one

*Also applies to other ideologies

Things being worst somewhere else doesn’t make the local situation better. This is like the whole “eat your broccoli there’s starving children somewhere”, people keep trying it but it won’t ever convince a kid

It will be unlabeled and reduced in quantity, as LLM users will feel unwelcome and there is not much point in contributing to a project that doesn’t want you. You don’t always need your policy to be perfect, you just need it to make things better than before

This sounds like there is a total of 3 people involved, and 3 of them are ok with the situation. I don’t see how this could be bad, unless you worry about Jesus’ consent

Of course things can always go bad, but I would really doubt that breaking up with any of them preemptively will make things better when bs inevitably happens
