The RIAA issued GitHub a takedown notice for "youtube-dl" via their DMCA repo, which of course GitHub instantly complied with without protest.

Now a security bug GitHub refused to fix has been used to push the DMCA censored code into the DMCA repo itself.

Let the recursive censorship games begin!

Also, can we make a point of always calling it Microsoft #GitHub from now on please? Thanks.

People, everyone needs to read the whole parent thread. This is important.

Copyright is encroaching on everything from right-to-repair do the right to communicate freely; #youtubedl situation is just the latest of a long string of abuses.

We need to reform copyright.

My mirror of the #youtubedl repo is now up – big thanks to @polarisfm for the initial mirror.

Let's keep ytdl alive and kicking! 😈

I'm very sorry for your issue but...

Can I say I'm very excited to see those books? I can't wait to get my copy!

Il problema, Stefano, è su cosa e come.

Nella mia città c'è la fiera internazionale del tartufo bianco.

E noi chiudiamo le scuole?

Cioè... boh!

C vs JS... or maybe not. 

@CobaltVelvet@octodon.social

Uhm... you seem a bit confused.

I'm not sure why you find my toot condescending. You said that people would get angry for your statement and I clarified that I think you are wrong about this.

People who know well both languages, will not be angry for your statement. They will just deduce you don't know well either of the two.

Also, I don't know how a picture or a bio in my profile could count as arguments about my programming skills more than what I wrote in the toot itself. If I had lied in the toot, why I should be honest in the bio (or the picture?)

Anyway, I didn't lie.
Here is my website: tesio.it
Here is my operating system (in C): jehanne.io
Here is my github account github.com/Shamar

You won't find much about JavaScript in my code, as it's mostly developed for my employer, but I'm the goto guy when people cannot solve a problem in JavaScript (or other languages) on multi-millions banking projects.
(but again, you can trust my words or not... and there's no way you could even know if this account is actually owned by the author of those sites...)

This obviously produce a bias in my perception: the vast majority of the problems I have to fix (after months wasted by other developers trying to fix or workaround them) are actually due to the dumbness of JavaScript design and it's impact on developers culture.

If you knew a little bit more about JS, I think I should not even name the garbage collector of IE: you would already know about the left-pad scandal of NPM.

In any case, there's nothing wrong into ignoring something and you shouldn't feel ashamed.

But I'd would suggest you to study a bit more about Informatics before comparing programming languages and framework.

Otherwise, any random internet guy could use your ignorance against you.

Good luck!

Not angry... it just shows you do not know either well.

I professionally program in both since 20 years (and in several other languages) and JavaScript is way worse than C. Actually it's the worse language ever conceived.

google, privacy, e-mail, from :birdsite: 

Google started editing people's e-mails in GSuite, replacing links with a link through google.com:
mobile.twitter.com/sneakdotber
twitter.com/tblodt/status/1317

This means that Google will track a click on a link *in e-mail* even if you're using an external client.

I am *guessing* this is under the pretext of phishing protection, but it actually *creates* additional phishing risk for text-only clients, since now all links are google.com links.

Hi @Jami, I'd like to give a try to your last release but I can't find it on @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology

Is there any issue pending about this?

Let's put this way: if you are right (and the document you've read were authentic) and their ideals didn't last among their people after their death, they were blind to their people.

Even so, it was their people who created the world we know without violating their laws.

I think they should be held accountable for this.

But at the end of the day, does it metter what they belived?

They proved beyond any reasonable doubt that such kind of laws are going to be abused to justify, normalize and freeze inequities by the people of USA.

Thus why should we try again if they failed so bad too?

You can easily change the laws, but not the people.

Better to abolish a law that is doomed to be abused most of times.

Don't know...
It's either me that is confused about intent and outcome...
Or it's you that are confused between intent and propaganda.
