I created a Lemmy community for Sexual Assault Survivors. Now, I need advice. What are the rules and ressources you want to see in my community, Lemmings ? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I'd like a list of resources in the sidebar. There are websites and organizations around the world that are founded to help rape victims and their loved ones with the issues they have to deal with.

Also resources for how to get away from abusive spouses or even abusive communities. Knowing where to go, how to build a new support network, how to get the resources to move away.

You could draft a sidebar in a post and let the community comment suggested changes to it.

    Analysts are saying it can last well into 2028, simply because everyone else who is serious, tempered and well adjusted didn't promise the sky and the heavens.

    The fact is, LLMs are here to stay and the world is building capacity. Unfortunately that means the consumer market is going up be fucked for some time more.

    WARNING: this is an Illicit comment, with adult themes about ethical and moral implications, as well measurement units and curse words - reader discretion is advised

    As an addendum and a sidenote:

    This is a call to arms for statisticians, sociologists, criminologists and journalists to figure out the metrics necessary to create a new unit of measurement .

    What needs to be taken into account is ofc the burden of proof, but also how gamed a judiciary is by how it gives slaps on the wrist for a certain immoral, unethical and illegal activity that elites keep getting away with, to create a rating system, a scoring system, where you want the score to ideally be a perfect 0.

    The working acronym and title of this unit is CFPM, which is short for Children Fucked Per Month and will be used to score companies, organizations, government bodies, political parties, products, services, platforms, etc.

    The idea is that if even a single "nubile princess" gets defiled as a result of doing business (even if it was decades ago), your brand, name, party, product, service - whatever - will have a rating with exponentially increasing decimals over the years.

    This is because even having a CFPM rating of 0,000000000000000001 is too damned much and should have your brand, service, government body, political parties, etc - boicoted, sanctioned, embargoed, dissolved and publicly shamed, forever.

    What do you think Reddits CFPM rating would be? How quickly do you think this type of comment would be nuked from Reddit, also resulting in the deletion of my account? The Epstein class don't like it when you make fun of their moral and ethical degeneracy, y'know...

    What is Lemmy?

    Lemmy is a social media network that works just like Reddit - but is decentralised.

    Reddit is a proprietary closed source platform that strictly enforces how you interface with said platform and ls owned by a publicly traded corporation who are currently trying to speedrun the enshitification (or monetization) of their platform in order to increase shareholder value.

    Lemmy is an open source project that lets everyday people run and control their own platforms on servers across the globe, who connect with each other to share users and content through the ActivityPub and ActivityStream protocols, which are public web standards recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

    The big difference being that major proprietary social platforms run by multinationals have a tendency to monopolize, control, exploit and otherwise abuse their users, where as Lemmy let's pretty much anyone be a vendor of a social media platform - which doesn't eliminate abusive platform holders, moderators or users - but you can block any of these if you'd like, in effect giving you control over what ends up in your feed and how you access that feed, since it's all done through a public protocol and not some proprietary client or API.

    Other than that, all social media platforms are information sources, disinformation sources, entertainment hubs and voids we scream into in the hopes that somebody hears us. They are a mirror, a megaphone, a vice and a boon.

    But it's better to use a social media platform run by everyday people rather than the goddamn Epstein class. Tell your friends; make your own social media by switching to the Social Web (also known as the "Fediverse") in order to force Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and Threads into obsolescence - shareholders be damned.

    This is generally the problem with ISAs.

    ARM has had decades in the oven, x86 has had almost half a century, while RISC-V manufacturing and ISA development has been generally available only a couple of years.

    The fact is if there isn't a big push by some major vendor - or some nation state, then chances are it'll develop slower than the previously mentioned ISAs.

    From design, to testing, to prefab, to packaging, it's all combined just a single step of the journey to improving yield and performance.

    ARM is unfortunately the current trajectory, with Qualcomm, Apple and now NVIDIA leading the charge - which doesn't bode well, simply because you won't know what the hell the firmware do.

    We could truly use some market disruption in this space and RISC-V, being an open ISA, would be the safest bet for digital sovereignty and user autonomy - but apparently those things are only important on paper.

    "Non binary god"...

    Listen, I know you want to be pegged by a hung yawei, my guy - judging by all the Grindr activity once your party is in town - but my gosh.

    The one episode you'd share to get someone into Star Trek (sopuli.xyz)
     

    So I'm a long time Trekkie and besides most of the newer shows (like Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Academy) I'm pretty familiar with each of the shows - the old ones anyway.

    But when i managed to convince someone to watch a single episode of Star Trek I'm a little bit at a loss. Personally I'd go for one of the Ibsenesque power plays, just because the person in question likes Psychological thriller sci-fis - like Black Mirror.

    So I'm stuck between these episodes:

    • TNG: "The Survivors" - This was heart wrenching the first time I saw it. It's one of those episodes that reminds of the old Frankenstein conundrum: who is really the monster? As an incurable romantic, I flip flop between condemning the antagonist and sympathising with his pain. He made a prison of his own making and I can sort of identify with that.
    • Enterprise: "Cogenitor" - Though I find Enterprise hard to get into (because it's such a departure from the rest of Star Trek), this episode sticks out to me as another conundrum. What if someone who didn't know about freedom or individuality was introduced to those concepts, only to be forced back to a reality of servitude, subservience and being an organic appliance in people's lives without the right to have your own?
    • Voyager: "Nemesis" - I thought about this one purely for the reveal at the end. It's not the best episode, but it's one of those reveals that show you the lengths people are willing to go to when trying to destroy an enemy - even at the cost of people's lives, and minds.
    • DS9: "Duet" - this episode is the least sci-fi, but it sure shows the ravages of war - on the minds and hearts of anyone. Survivors guilt is one thing, and cowardice another, but what can be said for those who had to witness atrocities and felt powerless to do anything about it? The woes of a filling clerk...

    These are just my picks, some episodes that stuck with me. But what episode - if only a single one, from any of the shows would you pick as someone's first introduction to Star Trek?

    Have a great one!
