  • You’re unduly expanding the scope of the argument.

    No, I’m contextualizing.

    leading cause

    Frequency, irrelevant.

    laws should be based in reality

    And in reality, murdering anyone based on who they are born as is an entirely different thing than anything else.

    The same is not true for men

    The same WHAT.

    You are referring to frequency. Repeatedly. I’m sorry, but either there is a fundamental language barrier at play, or I can only consider you as being incredibly exclusionary.

    The gender identity of the person should have zero bearing on this. The fact that its a crime based on hate of someone’s gender identity should.

    Thats it. Full stop.



  • Let’s try it this way.

    Hate crimes based on sexual orientation occur many times more often than those based on gender expression.

    By your logic, we don’t need hate crimes based on gender expression.

    Hate crimes based on sexual identity are drastically higher for black people than Hispanic or white people.

    By your logic we would only need to have hate crime legislation for sexual orientation of black people.

    Does that make more sense to you as to why I say a hate crime is a hate crime?

    You are saying that only the more frequent crimes require legislation.

    I am saying the particulars (sexual identity, gender, race) aren’t as relevant as the fact that its a hate-based crime. How often it happens doesnt matter. The fact that its based on hate is what matters.



  • That would only be true if there were a commensurate killings based on misandry.

    I would have to disagree. The quantity is irrelevant, the existence of the hate crime is all that really matters.

    I can understand what they are doing here (bringing attention to the rampant mysogony), but I do think that could have been done better by having it be a hate crime law with a definition on sex/gender as the motivation, but call it out or name it to address the rampant mysogony.

    But a hate crime is a hate crime, and should be treated as a hate crime regardless.

    Edit: Just to say, I don’t get the impression that what I suggested is the case here, but maybe I’m misinterpreting things. Feel free to point out if it addresses hate crimes based on identity more generally, I’d be happy to hear it. Doesnt seem to be the case from the article though.



  • My needs are light for its use honestly. I work from home, so on the go I mostly need something to take notes on or maybe write some code on the go, which its more than enough for. But there is all kinds of fun stuff posted up on mastodon for MNT, like egpu use, enhancements, etc.

    But one thing I’d say about the rk3588 is that the performance charts can be misleading. Single core performance, an n100 would win, but parallel processing the 3588 is a champ. It also wins on power and heat. You can run a VM, do some builds, and even light gaming on them. When I compare it to crap ive used in the past that couldn’t do half of that for twice the weight and size, it just seems like a handy workhorse to me.

    I’d also mention that the approach from MNT includes easy upgrade paths, including CPU, which they’ve done for the laptop model already.

    Couldn’t say whether it works for your needs obviously, but I’d say check against tasks rather than benchmarks.

    As far as the t480, similarly I just made sure it had enough ram. Honestly I have a few ssd’s around for various reasons so I’d just swap in whatever, again light on storage requirements when on the go. The biggest problem I have is the battery, internal is at about 50% and external about 70%, so I’ll need to replace that at some point. Still get a good 3-4 hours out of it no problem though, and a replacement for each is like $20-$40 so no big deal. I also dont mind waiting for a bit of a deal though (and really like keeping perfectly good hardware working for me), so I’m happy with it. I did put arch on there over my usual (Debian), and builds there are fairly quick if I let it use all the cores.
