I don't think so. Youtube-DL can rip some popular Chinese VOD websites such as Bilibili and iQIYI, thus will first be "subjectable" to the Chinese equivalent of DMCA.

Worse, these companies are often backed/protected by powerful figures (often under the umbrella of some influential state members) and under such power, these kind of "threats" will be eradicated very efficiently, especially with Bilibili which is partially "state-monitored" (not sure if sponsored) due to the presence of the channel of the official youth branch of CCP is opened there [1].

Thus, relocating your repository to gangs aren't safe at all.

A rule of thumb: The prerequisite for your business to survive in China is that you need to have powerful affiliates, and make sure you do not piss off that powerful guy.

I can't help but read this as "Palemoon is stuck in the past wrt standards", which is a self-inflicted problem from what Palemoon is (a fork of an old version of Firefox), and the resources they have to maintain it (only one person, IIRC). For the same reason that building a new browser engine is a ton of work, maintaining a fork of an old engine is a ton of work. Take that from someone who has spent a lot of time backporting security fixes for old versions of Firefox in Debian stable back when Debian was not updating to new major versions of Firefox ESR (back when Debian was still calling it Iceweasel).

RFC 8905 – The 'payto' URI Scheme for Payments
The law says “expeditiously”, not immediately. This gives a degree of flexibility to judge the basic elements of the claim, which they clearly did not do here (as others have pointed out, this does not look like a valid request).
How do you verify this isn't malicious? Who is running this repo?
I am referring to all of the machinery on the ship in general - whether it's life support systems, engines, monitoring/navigation systems etc. Even if you could take a ship to outer space, freeze it to ~absolute 0, and launch it on its trajectory, you still need a computer to allow it to warm back up and land at its destination.

Keeping a computer running in outer space for a few thousand or hundred thousand years is a gigantic engineering task, far beyond anything we could achieve today.

And of course, in reality its unlikely you could rely on a single computer system and on 0 propulsion. It's far more likely that you'll need life support, engines, complex medical equipment, cooling systems, lights, all sorts of mechanical parts that will need power, replacements, and that degrade in time, especially at such huge scales.

You seem to be focused on the intersection of GPL and AGPL code with commercial software which is actually not really relevant other than that you may care more about the legalities under those circumstances. For the GPL, the question is whether your work links in the GPL code. If it merely executes another program in userspace that shouldn't be an issue but you should consult a lawyer if you have serious questions.
> There are many intermediate stages of lockdown

Indeed, and this doesn't forbid comparisons if we can assess each effective stage. More datapoints, yay!

Those many factors cumulative effects are indeed difficult to assess, and this is true for each of such analysis.

If we try to find correlations, here between lockdown effective intensity and the amount of victims, and if a trend becomes perceptible for most nations...
Yes, I question the physics. The last example, where they use multiple fire-extinguishers as the storage vessel appears to me to be able to store far more energy per volume than the other examples cited.

If these numbers are accurate, then such a system seems quite feasible for domestic use. The others, much less so, as the storage vessels to store just a few KW/h are so massive.
It would probably be easier to read, but as a one-man project, my guess is that readability is less of a concern than for the average code base. Splitting code up in files requires some extra work and makes refactoring harder as you have to spend a lot of effort on trivial tasks such as moving dependencies between files and updating includes all over the place.

Personally I tend to want to split up code written by others so I can focus on the parts that go together without having to read through irrelevant parts, but I can easily navigate larger files/classes I've authored myself. I mainly split it up for the sake of future readers.

Don’t Bother Learning to Code – Ruthless Outsourcing Killed the American Dream
That's not quite what's happening here, at least as far as NZ law which I'm most familiar with. I can tentatively extrapolate to UK and US law since the fundaments lie in common. What you say is acknowledged - These things do not have agency and do not have awareness. Yet in allowing them legal personhood there is latitude in providing mechanisms to provide them with exactly that - Agency and awareness - such that their legal rights can be protected. This is where the establishment of a board comes in.

In terms of legal precedent, this is not an entirely new concept. A person born with severe disabilities or entering into a vegetative state, or even murdered... All lack in the present sense (or even ever) agency and awareness. Nevertheless we have established legal rights for them. It follows that such principles might be extended further.

I am uncertain it'll prove to be a beneficial persuit, since a general maxim in the legal world is that laws cannot directly prevent harm, only dis-incentivise future instances of it. For important natural wonders, prevention is key and reparations/justice don't really make sense.
Ah yes, for all of those times when I need to move unlimited amounts of cash, via something whose value fluctuates wildly, and you still lose out on exchange rates going into your destination currency.

That is taking energy from the sun, and it is relying on the Earth to maintain certain temperature parameters. It won't last 10k years anyway. If nothing else, the glass will probably degrade over a long enough period of time. There's also a constant chance of a freak mutation destroying the equilibrium of the system.

In outer space, cosmic rays will make this process faster. Also, in outer space, it will need a constant source of light for biological reactions, and also just to keep from slowly cooling down to 0k through heat emission.
Folding that into Automake is under, well, fairly active or at least repeated discussion. :)

True, but on the other hand, with cryptocurrencies, you're at the whim of some combination of developrs and large mining pools. There is not a whole lot preventing them from instituting an inflationary policy and pocketing the created coins, either.

Behind an immature comment like that, which is likely used to try to shame the OP by pretending their argument doesn't warrant a humane response, can only lie an immature man. Am I close? I've seen this type of gaslighting abuse, to intimidate women, happen only too often in real life. It needs to stop.

Did OP's commment touch something vulnerable in you? Did you feel scared? Is that why you resorted to a vague, grandiose, belittling response? Was it too far out of your bubble?

Kazaa and Limewire were moneymaking companies with fairly undefensible behavior from a legal perspective.

The article talks about national parks in New Zealand that have been granted personhood, and also mentions some American legislation:

> Although it doesn’t go as far as giving trees and other plants ownership of themselves, the Clean Water Act of 1972 in the United States effectively grants them some rights. Under the ‘natural resource damage’ provisions of the law, trees and other resources have some basic rights. It’s the government, however, that’s entrusted with protecting those rights, although any money earned through litigation must be spent on the resource itself. Essentially, the money belongs to the resource.

I understand that but there is a difference between just git and the forge, which is GitHub in this case. If I fork a project on GitHub it has a fork relationship on the platform itself. This makes it very easy to interact with the original project. However, without an actual GitHub account I can't contribute back to the project at all.

If I have for example my own Gitlab server I have the ability to clone a project from GitHub and maintain my fork on my server. However, to contribute back, I will still need to bring my changes back to GitHub first.

What a federated implementation of such a "git hosting/collaboration platform" would allow me to do would be to fork a project from another instance to my self-hosted instance. It would benefit every open-source project that would be willing to host their own instance. I could then easily contribute back into the main project without needing an account on their instance.

It would also make it much harder to take down a project with a DMCA like this because forks of it would exist across instances, meaning claims would have to be sent to each maintainer of these instances. In this case, they were simply able to list all of the forks on GitHub and because GitHub is one website, all of them were taken down, seemingly without any further inspection wether the claim covers these forks as well.

I realise that this is difficult to implement but I think mastodon is a great example of how such federation can work in practice.
Some greater than zero percentage of this is a genuine desire to educate children and some percentage is about federal funding for schools.

IRC isn't federated in that sense, users on EFnet can't interact with users on freenode, so the network effect works in that case.

Gmail has an enormous market share (about 40%) but I don't think that's related to the nature of SMTP, more about their incredibly competitive free tier and the decidedly not federated groupware for their business offering.

As of now there's no Palemoon mirror at https://github.com/MoonchildProductions

I was going to see if perhaps the abuse of Issues was what annoyed the maintainer more than the primary reason).

That's one of big downsides of a world where 99.99% of people create nothing (in terms of code or docs): when Github wasn't as popular many "consumers" didn't have accounts.

Now they do, and often tend to turn Issues into a discussion forum (which, contrary to Tobin's assessment, is a testament to the success of Github's UX, but not of the kind devs and power users want). The easiest way to deal with that is what Tobin did. Mirror the source to Github and lock (or ignore) GH issues.

When I use USB audio out in Linux, all kinds of bugs happen, including movies sometimes freezing for no reason in vlc and mpv (audio output can make movies pause?), and audio stopping permanently in some games until you restart them depending on turning on/off headphones and what not.

Using the 3.5mm output jack of the computer into a bluetooth transmitter works much better for me. 3.5mm does the one thing it should do, transmit the audio signal, without all kinds of unwanted software side effects, the PC has no clue what I do with my headphones and given the bugs mentioned above that's a good thing.

I wonder what's wrong with my system to have such bad USB audio experience :/

youtube-dl is not, strictly speaking, a downloading tool. It's an access tool. You want to access YouTube videos through an alternate client, as is your legal right in the European Union? youtube-dl is a useful library for the job.

You can use youtube-dl to download videos, but the intended use here is clearly for watching them. Just because syringe needles are tested on (and advertised for) human skin and are also tested with poisonous chemicals, that doesn't mean you should attack syringe needle manufacturers for making murder weapons.

That could very well be argued. However, I still have the ability to run my own Email servers and communicate with user who use gmail.

If gmail decided to ban a number of accounts due to something like a DMCA claim, I would be unaffected by that.

This sort of comment is often similar to a North American hearing a British person speaking in their natural accent, and going "why are you trying so hard to sound fancy, dude?"

In fact, your own quote speaks to this: when you're thinking like a philosopher, it's easy to also speak like a philosopher; what takes effort is to speak like a peasant (and we've all had similar experiences with technical jargon in our own field, and having to translate that to a layperson). You can certainly accuse them of not having tried hard to translate it to simpler language, but it's an unwarranted accusation to say they're "trying very hard to sound smart" when they're using language that is similar to their own thought processes, and hence is probably easier to write in.

Reminds me of a scene in "I, Robot" (the movie):

Del Spooner: So, Dr. Calvin, what exactly do you do around here?

Dr. Susan Calvin: My general fields are advanced robotics and psychiatry. Although, I specialize in hardware-to-wetware interfaces in an effort to advance U.S.R.'s robotic anthropomorphization program.

Del Spooner: So, what exactly do you do around here?

Dr. Susan Calvin: I make the robots seem more human.

Del Spooner: Now wasn't that easier to say?

Dr. Susan Calvin: Not really. No.

2)Facebook is NOT close to capturing all users imaginable and this will help in their global strategy of acquisition in the future (as VR becomes ubiquitous)

3)Your biggest problem is that you can’t think of creative ways to use data. Game libraries and play spaces can give more information on user income levels, user activity on Oculus helps Facebook understand how much of their users time is spent in games typically outside of Facebooks purview (there’s no tracking cookies in Steam games), the hours of operation of the device can give information about a persons occupational status, etc.

"Exclusively" is the key word. Whether youtube-dl is designed to "exclusively" be used for legally permitted uses is a matter for a court to decide. The RIAA's claim listed several reasons why it believes this is not the case.

The DMCA as written is a little more nuanced, but on whole the laws serve the same purpose.
