“[T]he average user must recognize that YouTube content, unlike media content on other websites, cannot be downloaded with a simple right-click

and must be aware that this is achieved using technology on YouTube

and that youtube-dl ‘overrides’ this protection.

It is therefore to be assumed that the average user acts in bad faith,” the Hamburg Court wrote.

If by “in bad faith,” you mean, “with mostly benevolent intent but sadly in contradiction to the impotent dictates of the bad-faith-est of bad-faith actors in the music creation community for the last fifty years,” then, accurate.

It’s like one of those Ernest Hemingway one-sentence stories, that all by itself tells you 100% of what you need to know.

The owner of a meat business in western Michigan was ordered to pay $1,143

“Two months later, we wouldn’t even be here,” the judge said, noting that the teen soon would have turned 18 years old.

“Ionia County is a farming county, and I know a lot of people in this county view children working, sometimes around dangerous machinery, as part of growing up,” [the judge] said.

He said the boy was warned to never put his hand inside the grinder.

What the FUCK

You’re not going to want to hear this, but this logic (i.e. “But MY side is the RIGHT one, so it’s different”) is exactly why the right wing thinks Trump shouldn’t go to prison and it’s okay when they cheat in elections.

I do agree with you that the left wing is the right side of history. That doesn’t mean someone who’s on the other side suddenly shouldn’t be an executive of anything.

Why was appointing Eich as CEO so controversial? It’s because he donated $1,000 in support of California’s Proposition 8 in 2008, which was a proposed amendment to California’s state constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

I want to try a thought experiment. Imagine that you observe this comment in reaction to the above:

I just don’t get why the author is so pissed about their political contributions. Guess what, people who are involved in big business are usually right-wing and support right-wing organizations. Shocking. Who could have known. I don’t even want to imagine how the author comes to the conclusion that this is some big conspiracy but I think we all know what political spectrum that guy belongs to.

What I just wrote is a mirror-image version of the top rated comment on that article from a few days ago about the Mozilla foundation funding left-wing organizations. Do you agree with one of those statements and not the other? If so, why?

It is one-sided to say that someone involved in Brave should only be “allowed” to do so if he doesn’t support anything conservative. Just as would be one-sided and wrong to say that Mozilla shouldn’t be “allowed” to support left-wing organizations. Flipping it around, and looking at the reaction when it’s the other way around, is an easy way to analyze your own internal reactions on it.

(Generally, I’m in agreement with the idea that you shouldn’t use Brave because of all these other shady things; just this one part jumped out at me as one thing that’s not like the others.)

Oops! Yep, I didn’t see it… fuzzy matching of reposts would be pretty good yes.

It’s not a Dylan Beattie talk, but “Stop Writing Dead Programs” by Jack Rusher is about the most meaningfully informative programming talk I’ve ever seen in my life, so if you like programming talks, you might like that one.
