Votes are public though, pretending that they're not is just deceiving users.
Anyone who admins a federated instance, and any of their friends, knows vote counts.
But I also have an expectation (mainly from other forms of social media) that users’ votes should be kept private from other users
This is literally just reddit and hackernews, some of the worst and most astro-turfed socmed. Twitter post nazification too I guess.
I tried to use it to write software to rotate my screen in a way that would please me and if I wasn't an experienced sysadmin the code it produced would have destroyed the computer's battery in a year or so.
That was this year.
Everything it makes is bad, the prose is awful, the orthography bland, the code mediocre. Any factual query I have made has had at least one critical error a non expert would miss. They are machines for giving idiots false confidence, atrophying your own skills, and producing the sort of aggressively mediocre writing one finds on reddit.
I think it is fucking hilarious to be proud about making yourself dependent on an industry that literally 450 billion dollars in the hole and 2 companies. I am sure that'll work out well for you.
historical materialism
There's actually a really good method of analysis that is highly predictive about the actions of classes of people politically.
Personally I prefer clankerwankers but whatever works.
I also think slopmachine is a good slur for llms, given it highlights the gambling aspect and addictive potential.
But... you didn't take a look at the report and were talking about the most anodyne interpretation when they
a) explain why 18 b) explain the scope c) break down the kinds of attraction by age group d) break down the kinds of offences
Asking if you looked at the report and what you thought about one of the most shocking things is completely reasonable.
Why did you have to be so rude and smug earlier? you hadn't read that part of the report so you didn't have a good reason to assume I was making shit up.
I copied the title of the authors in that piece, I don't want to inflame people, I wanted a discussion of something I found extraordinarily shocking.
Would have sexual contact with a child younger than 10 years if no one would find out (4.0%)

It happened the other way because the vast amount (97%) of convicted offenders are men, and that expert consensus is men are vastly more likely to offend. People have limited time and money, so research is funded when it is able to clearly state its impact.
I wish we had infinite resources in the academy, but we do not.
There are many requirements in the police training manual. For instance anyone being searched at all is meant to be taken somewhere private and their dignity preserved. I assume most people have seen this not happen.
Same gender is one such requirement.
At least one Australian expert says between 3% as likely as men to 25% as likely as men to offend. See below.
You can just look stuff up you know.
Joe Sullivan has spent 26 years counselling child sex offenders in the United Kingdom and is visiting Australia to attend an international police conference at Bond University on the Gold Coast.
While experts agree the majority of paedophiles are men, Dr Sullivan says women are responsible for more offences than previously thought.
"What I can say for certain is that it's way more prevalent than people fully appreciate or understand," he told the ABC.
"There's some research to suggest it could be as high as 25 per cent.
"However, when you look at the representation within the criminal justice system it could be as low as 3 to 4 per cent of overall convictions."

This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.
Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.
Everything you do on lemmy is public forever. That's how activitypub works. Even if you delete everything no server has to respect that.
Anything you upload is public record forever until proven otherwise.
