Okay, that is fair enough - although one small thing I'd add is "psychological issues not greatly exacerbated by his former employer" - where I also don't think intentionality is important, as long as they callously don't consider the potential of that exacerbation.
Thing is: psychological issues don't exist in a vacuum. For example - let's say he was robbed of all perspectives to ever work again in a field he was passionate about by his former employer de facto "blacklisting" him - they surely did not explicitly have this outcome in mind, but they accepted it as a possibility. Similar situation with the high suicide rates in countries like South Korea - they don't exist the way they are because of independently existing, isolated mental illness, but because of a material system that interacts with, and sets the conditions of, psychological development.
So, you are right, it's true that it could be, that it ends up as the result of a completely unrelated mental illness. But I'd be wary to take reports like "he actually had a diagnosis of depressive disorder" as simply washing OpenAI clean of all responsibility.
This just as a reminder: Even if this is to turn out to really 100% be a suicide, that just means they were able to silence him by driving him into suicide - basically by all important metrics the same as a corporate assassination with extra steps.
I just rejoined PeerTube after I had a quick look years ago, and it's gotten way better since then, actually. I found out Space Quest Historian is on it, too!
But yeah, discoverability isn't good. Lack of an algorithm also makes bingewatching impossible - for better and worse, I guess.
As you linked them, I'd also recommend peertube.wtf - they even reacted very quickly when I reported a transphobic german conspiracy channel/server.
My great-grandpa actually had to hide from the Gestapo during those years, and my great-great-uncle died in a Nazi prison, so I have some family bragging rights I guess.
Those bragging rights unfortunately don't feel nearly as good, when I realise I might end up in the same situation with how things are going...
So, it isn't the exact same situation, but just as a reminder: von Papen, the conservative guy who ultimately put Hitler into power, initially thought he'd be savvy and cede only "not that important" posts to Hitler and the NSDAP. After all, a silly, comically insane upstart like Hitler would be easily outmanoeuvred by knowing the law and how statecraft works, right?
Well, the Nazis just used those posts in illegal ways, overstepped their official authority and refused to report to von Papen at all (whom they should at that point have been subservient to) - knowing full well no one was going to stop them anyway. Shortly thereafter, von Papen was out and Hitler was chancellor.
Von Papen managed to live until 1969, and wrote an autobiography that was derided by historians for having a terribly naive lack of understanding politics, lack of principles and being full of vanity.
For the games I did made, before I had to do a life restructuring and put that stuff on hiatus, I always went with something.x86_64 - I have no idea when and where I got that idea, but I know I copied that format from somewhere.
If you are German-speaking, your main instance of interest for communities will probably be feddit.org with the main community being !dach@feddit.org (and inofficially !ich_iel@feddit.org) - check it out if you haven't yet
EDIT: Hello there, person in the future - I completely forgot about !main@feddit.org - the "landing page" community.
As I have seen it pointed out, it's not just that, although it is a huge part of it. Another, sadly, is that there was so much uncontrolled porn floating around the internet, much of it was pretty fucked up - involuntarily filmed and/or published without consent, not traceable, even with very unclear ages, etc., etc.
So as a secondary effect, that I think is highly positive, most sites also just don't allow for non-verified content, or at least are much better at removing anything remotely suspicious. That leaves the OF stuff as the main non-studio-produced source, as it allows for easy, professional verifications.
As a quick reminder: don't expect them to handle your load (lol) for free. If you are a gooner/goonette with some income, leave a tip for the server costs and consider volunteering for mod duties if you have time and some internet social skills. If you value your nsfw communities, they don't exist without work, like any other community.
Like - a lot of Reddit users seemed to have accounts specifically to interact with porn, I think that transfers well into the Fediverse, you just get your porn account on an instance that is federated with the porn ones.
Nice to see! Baby steps and all that. Getting RISC-V to a consumer-level state is still a pretty gargantuan task that has a lot of catch-up to do, but it's walking along its path steadily.
Are the people I normally watch on YouTube unable to be seen on peertube?
Basically this. There are some creators that either switched or publish on both platforms, mainly from the Linux sphere (and, unfortunately, also some crackpots and/or scammers who got kicked from other platforms), but overall, it doesn't have a lot of content, especially content that's on a "professional" level.
I get the sentiment, but no lie, I often have had health anxiety that I could actually calm down by googling symptoms. Because more often than not, the really bad stuff does not really fit into the symptoms I had, at least not properly.
Oh, so you meant, get out of the country, not, you know.... I interpreted "getting out of the timeline" differently. A lot darker, I guess.
Now, if you can get out of the country, that might indeed be the best option with things as they are. But that won't be an option for everyone. So either way, organising and staying strong is still important.
This is the way, after all, Lemmy has lots of great mobile apps.
