So do they not even have internal review?
OK, so it gets generated. Just like if someone sent a real recording, someone should listen to it, right? And make mention if there’s parts that are noisy, or theres a random change in eq that feels jarring, or… I don’t know, because it sounds like an adult voice on a 6yr old reading the lines?
If youre reading from the top though, you have all the references of what people would be responding to (especially with quotes), and youre reading in order of reply.
I still prefer threaded conversations, but I can recognize the appeal of single thread conversations.
I get that, I’ve got a Mac mini for similar reasons.
I’d personally prefer more hardware for the money, including when its being bought by others. But I also have to replicate client environments (though at a much smaller scale), so its kind of a cheat code for “buy me that” or “I’ll be keeping this for 6-9 months and you can buy me a replacement when this one gets delivered to you”.
I think I need another GPU heavy project.
Yup you are right, in another article (much earlier) they mentioned charges by the state, but this one calls out the DOJ specifically.
The other article was crap, apparently.
Not only did she call 911, she reached out to and told the FBI she had been receiving threatening messages. As it turns out, the messages they did find were with a scarification artist (I didnt know that was a thing) in PA, along with a copy of the receipt for about $500 in work she had done just prior to the “event”. Along with a reddit account where she followed scarification and body mod subreddits. The scarification artist performed the work based on a design she provided.
So the charges came through the US AG for NJ, not the NJ AG per the other shitty article.
The original investigation was by township, county, and state officials, and I guess with her claims that brought on FBI involvement as well.
Edit: This was federal charges being brought, 2 counts. See comment below for further details on the absolute insanity of these shenanigans.
Doesn’t apply to state. The governor would need to do that, and neither the current nor the next is going to be interested in that.
No longer relevant pro tip - an extra pair was typically left at the incoming service, which was used for testing. It worked as a second line and didn’t interupt the main pair, allowing for a functionally free second phone line (that didnt have incoming service).
Perfect for modem use!
Even in the comments on this post I can see the argument that basically boils down to “spaces that don’t cater to me should also bear the effort of keeping out of my way” being voiced.
I think that sums it up well, even if the sidebar was presented the very first time someone went into a community, some people wouldn’t read it, some people wouldn’t care about the rules, etc.
So thats where moderation has to step in like happened here. Every community has rules, its not on the community (or the server) to make sure that visitors are aware of them, its on the people joining in on the conversation. I don’t know that there is a better way to present the rules than simply making them available.
The blahaj server is dedicated to the gender diverse, and a safe space server.
196 is a safe space community, since before Lemmy (r/196 is over 10yrs old)
It is quite specifically a community that contains people who have dealt with these sort of divisive comments before, and a server that has dealt with those sorts of divisive comments before, and is explicitly not permitted on either the community or the server itself. Detailed out rather thoroughly in the sidebar, including noting comments that challenge someone’s identity.
So yeah, OP only has themselves to blame, though I’ll say the argument that resulted in a ban has zero merit anyway (for reasons previously mentioned).
Slight correction, I said no other context matters.
You realize they kept expanding on the comment, right? And doubling down on it?
Well intentioned or not isnt really relevant. I’m not calling them a bad person, I pointed out the problem with what they said, and that the wording wasn’t relevant.
When it comes to the ban though, it wouldn’t matter anyway. They were in violation of both site-wide and community rules.
There is no other context that matters here. They could be trans and it still wouldn’t matter. The comment created an arbitrary (and altogether meaningless) distinction on how to define women, specifically separating trans women from women.
A rule violation on both counts.
So what exactly is your point here?
Can we please just judge people by what they say
That is precisely what I’ve done. Just because youre unfamiliar with the rhetoric doesnt mean trans folks aren’t, since they’ve seen these same lines of comments again and again and again… And again, and again, and again.
For you to say I’m applying bad faith here just tells me you aren’t actually reading my comments.
It doesn’t seem to diss trans or sterile people, just mentions that it can be important. Or is OP saying it is important, and that’s the problem?
The comment was made in that it suggests trans women are not women. As well as cis women who can’t have children not being women, though unintentionally.
The comment was a specific callout to separate trans women from women in general. Intention is irrelevant, a distinction was made, though despite being about trans women, it was a distinction with no bearing or value on the definition of a woman.
Its a very common talking point for terfs, as well. It is not a new or original attack on trans women, but it is what it boils down to - an attack on trans women.
One that doesnt make sense after a bit of thought is applied either.
Just tested myself, there are definitely ads that show up after a download has been selected and started.
Was OP being shitty with their comment?
Yes.
Whether it was intentional or not. I mentioned elsewhere that there are cis folks who can’t have children. So that comment was shitty to a wider group than just trans folks. Its also pretty common terf stuff.
It also broke the rules for both the instance and the community.
You could just not be shitty and it wouldn’t be a problem to post on blahaj at all.
Just to mention, your comments (that got you banned) were also deeply flawed logically.
Cis-gendered men and women can be unable to have children. Your statement says that they are not men and are not women by the (incredibly flawed) definition you provided.
I’d also note that the wording of your message was irrelevant, the meaning behind it was straight out of terftown, whether you recognized that then or now, it is what it is.
What you consider yourself and what you’ve considered in the past is honestly irrelevant to me, and I hope you realize that my comments are not made in anger or frustration, but just as an explanation and a hope that you can do better going forward.
A bit about blahaj:
this is a server that is very protective of our minority members and bigotry of any variety will be squashed with great prejudice.
Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.
Now as far as this:
I also recognize that I was on a meme sub and people aren’t there to defend their identity with a stranger - there’s a time and a place
I would point out two things.
One, that place will never be blahaj.
Two, many will sit in stark disagreement with what you’ve said - myself included - because no one should ever have to defend their identity from a stranger. Its their identity, not yours, you putting things to a place of their defense means you are already in a position of attacking their identity. You are on the offensive.
Thats never going to fly on blahaj, and I would really recommend you reflect on the meaning behind what you said before even considering messaging ada, or its just going to be a complete waste of time.
Because thats how mastodon works and they are using mastodon
Regarding point 1, its a factored in value already. Replacing multiple stages of production simultaneously is a massive risk - voice acting + editing + editor review + production review on the cut.
This part:
I’d call entirely likely.
It would also mean that there was almost no testing of the llm’s output prior to pushing it to production work, or basic items like intonation would have been called out.
Its also possible that the production team knew it was dogshit and pushed it out on purpose so people could see it for dogshit. Anime fans are not known for being supportive of poor adaptations after all, maybe they hoped for backlash? I know if I were on that team I’d prefer it.
At some point I’d expect management to have recognized it for being terrible though.
