Two years is a short time for such an investigation. A third party was supposed to investigate those but no news has emerged as far as I know.

Source, with heavy spoilers

Short version: ::: spoiler spoiler Multiple sexual assault / harassment allegations came out regarding Cas Anvar. :::

They follow quite closely, as the authors were also show runners.

Each season is not exactly one book: season 1 is 2/3 of book 1, season two goes from there to half of book 2, season 3 wraps books 2 and 3. Seasons 4 to 6 are one book each.

Season 3 condenses book 3 quite a lot so you should expect differences here. As is usual in adaptation, characters and plot points are merged/moved around at diverse moments. A huge change is made at the end of season 5 due to one actor being outed as a perv piece of crap.

Books 7 to 9 were not adapted.

In the end, both mediums are great experiences and you should definitely enjoy both.

Nepotism still runs rampant in many academic fields, since the editors of those journals are also academics themselves, and not always the most ethical ones.

I worked in academia. Everybody already has access to the texts (thanks to arxiv) where I did. And yet still publishing was the only way to gain legitimacy. This is the problem.

I've known tenured researchers that believed HIV did not exist so yeah, agreed.

I'm afraid availability is not the issue here. Perceived legitimacy is.

In order to get a job (or simply to exist) in academia you must publish. There simply is no alternative. And so the greedy parasites will continue to be fed, whether or not the papers are available elsewhere.

Alas they have not moved there. They use them for preprint, and sure you can get the exact text of what will become the printed paper most of the time, but they are still being forced to feed the greed machine.

Same story here. This is sad as all hell.

They are great at gaming that system and that system gives them the impression they are the most brilliant people to ever grace the earth. Don't get me wrong, many are indeed brilliant, but the degree of self proving masochism that is academia would turn anyone that manages to survive it into a raging narcissist.

That is a very hasty and reductive opinion to my mind. While I absolutely agree with you on what the issue is, this is a complex problem and not a question of genital appendages.

It is impossible for young researchers to "earn" a permanent position without giving their soul and toil to this system. This makes sure that the people actually "succeeding" are the ones less likely to actually go against the system, since it benefited them. The ones that do try are hopelessly alone, and no amount of male gonads is going to help them change the culture.

A lot have in some capacity; see preprint servers like arxiv.org.

The problem is that without papers published in actual journals, you are literally worth nothing in academia. Nothing. Can't stress this enough, publish or perish is no joke. You won't get any kind of job without a stupidly high number of published papers. Young researchers have nowhere near the bargaining power to initiate any kind of change there. Neither do older ones, tbh.

Email works the same way. Once your data is received by the other party, you cannot delete it.

Public mailing lists have a very similar behaviour to the fediverse's. I am not aware of any credible GDPR cases against those, although it may happen down the line, we'll see.

Even if it is, this data is not processed in a way that would violate the law, unless the hosting party is doing something shady. It would be an incredible stretch to consider that a website only asking for a username to attach to a user somehow violates GDPR.

Lemmy instances do not by default collect any data protected under GDPR.

Will the media never learn not to give this moron a platform ? We do not need to hear his every "thoughts" on whatever topic. People who have not grasped at this point that he is as stupid as a sack of corrugated plastic will never be convinced. Stop giving him exposure for pity's sake.

They're gonna need bigger guns then.

Nah, Mitch still has his phylactery hidden away somewhere.

The US has what, 300 million inhabitants? Yeah that is a few.

Except we all know Trump will pick his VP during an Adderall fuelled constipation party on social media. So it could be either of these morons, regardless of their debating performance (I use those words liberally).

Or it could be Kanye.
