What story? Mind sharing?

Unfortunately, no, no such platform exists.

The closest site I've seen getting to this was https://github.com/ZorrillosDev/watchit-app but their website seems offline for some reason.

I don't think it is relatively difficult to make "Ethical" AI.

Simply refer to the sources you used and make everything, from the data used, the models and the weights, of public domain.

It baffles me as to why they don't, wouldn't it just be much simpler?

Except tox's graphical clients aren't maintained anymore

Now this was quite the read, awesome article

How is bandcamp involved here? I'm curious now

Which bridge did you use, if I may ask?

Maybe try a Matrix bridge?

Sometimes

Everytime I am forced to use a proprietary piece of software, my head starts spinning, knowing the suffering I'll have to bear

They used to say NordVPN would boost your game's latency in their ads so I'm not surprised

There's this project: https://watchit.movie/#/ https://github.com/ZorrillosDev/watchit-app

I never got to try it, but they are doing exactly what you want it seems. I don't know how much of their backend they have open-sourced, though. I definitely need to research this more.

They do have a matrix channel and a fediverse presence, so they already look quite alright from the start, and the project is very interesting.

As of August 2023, the best way to avoid the problem of

untampered compiler

AFAIK Is using an MNT Reform With GNU Guix as its OS, I really liked this article "The Full-Source Bootstrap: Building from source all the way down". This approach could, potentially, solve the problem of the untampered compiler. Damn, maybe it already does.

As for the MNT Reform, the only thing I'm not sure is open is the actual processor firmware, but the schematics for its usage are available and even the Wifi firmware is open, so there remains the problem of actually verifying the hardware you get is actually the hardware you ordered, but that is a bit more complicated I think.
