Looks like Peertube managed to hit its funding goal. Nice! https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform/news/100-vous-venez-de-donner-un-avenir-a-peertube-mais-lequel
Everyone is involved the PR industry is the scum of the earth, and deserves horrible things for what they do to society. Even the phrase "Public Relations" is a PR triumph for what used to just be called Propaganda.
These people especially suck (long read) https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/06/25/the-reputation-laundering-firm-that-ruined-its-own-reputation
What a gem
I'm conflicted about #article13, etc. On the one hand, the law is batshit.
On the other hand, it makes big centralized money-making platforms untenable.
PeerTube apparently has a fundraiser going on a french kickstarter style site. I'm broke af but I hope some of you aren't. Youtube is social cancer and we need a viable replacement.

Looks like there's a project already, I'll probably contribute https://github.com/cksac/fake-rs
I'm thinking of trying to write a feature packed library+CLI to generate fake data in Rust, but idk if there are similar libraries. I'd like to do a type driven approach at core, then branch out to complex stuff like arbitrary JSON or whatever

@caraellison I've been in a few fraught discussions over events and safe spaces with this.
Enacting policies with a criminal justice mindset doesn't keep people or communities safe long term, it just pushes problems around.
Anyone doing work with a perpetrator to make them feel accoutable and address their own issues is seen as sympathising with whatever they did though, I think because we're trained from very early on to think in criminal justice, in-or-out group terms.
