  • Le texte suivant est en anglais. Avertissement concernant le contenu: violence sexuelle.

    Content warning: Like the original post, this post talks about sexual violence.

    In agreement with OOP that, sadly, this will almost certainly enable more prison rapes of trans women than it might prevent prison rapes of cis women… but isn’t this shifting back and forth the blame besides the point? The punitive system in most countries has a rape problem. The perpetrators are mostly men. However, most men have never raped anyone and most men never will. Protecting both cis and trans women is good, and I understand how it’s decently convenient to separate prisoners just by gender or sex, but this completely ignores prison rape by males of males. The following might be a super naive idea taken directly from cheater servers in online video games, but how about a dedicated ‘rapist prison’? Naive suggestion: When you are caught committing sexual or other severe violence against another fellow human in the punitive system two times, you serve the rest of your sentence in a dedicated ‘rapist prison’. Now, I’m not saying that this place should be unsupervised: Exactly the opposite! The ‘rapist prison’ could receive extra staff, both for direct (more guards) and indirect (more social workers) prevention. However, inmates will still perceive being sent to that place (where there’s always a bigger rapist than you) as a threat, which may discourage a lot of future prison rapists from becoming exactly that. As always, decisions can be disputed in court, e.g., if a prisoner feels like they have been wrongfully sent to that place.

    I mean: Putting aside for a moment the bigger questions of 1) whether a punitive system heavily influenced by Abrahamic religions that prioritizes the atonement of an individual’s sins directed against a universal moral authority is a good system, instead of a system focusing on compensation of the victim, like in the earliest documented legal system, and 2) how we can move from a system of punishment towards a system of rehabilitation.







  • Adding my personal notes on search engines here for anyone’s interest. I personally use Qwant on Desktop and DuckDuckGo on mobile. I like Qwant because they are at least working on their own index and are EU-based. On the other hand, DuckDuckGo is faster and has a more comprehensive privacy policy. I’m really trying to use Mojeek on mobile but the search results are much worse than DuckDuckGo and Qwant in my repeated experience.

  • Could one integrate this with apps like NextTube or PipePipe? I.e., When I search for a video on those apps, they search the torrent index first, then search Frama Tube / PeerTube second, then search YouTube-proper last. While I’m streaming a video from any of these sources, I am then also downloading and seeding it to the torrent network and I keep seeding the last videos I watched on a rolling basis until an allocated memory space on my disk is full and the oldest or least requested video in that local buffer is deleted to make space for new; while I’m on Wifi to save mobile data? I think providing such seamless integration is the best way to get this space densely populated enough to be useful.



  • I have not. To be perfectly honest, I don’t really understand how that would even work. Can you elaborate? At home, I run a local model with a Kobold CCP backbone to localhost. The physical network is a private Wifi, though the computer is running VPN and I haven’t given much thought about what that means for the AI via localhost. At work, I can thankfully use a responsibly managed AI (company servers, very strong and externally audited data privacy standard with zero on-server data retention) for coding.
