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.

RIAA DMCA MICROSOFT GIT YOUTUBE COPYRIGHT that's you that's what you sound like.

If the EFF doesn't have a lawsuit lined up already they will before Monday. Stop supporting labels that joined the RIAA or its Canadian counterpart. Blacklist artists who refuse to jump ship. Make their complicity public, instead of shouting at each other. There is a clear wrong side of this.

scfg now has 4 implementations: C, Go, Python and Rust. Thanks for contributing an implementation, @PeterSanchez and @viralstitch!

Google started editing people's e-mails in GSuite, replacing links with a link through google.com:
https://mobile.twitter.com/sneakdotberlin/status/1317734739537653760
https://twitter.com/tblodt/status/1317875714981416962?s=20

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.

The others seem fine, but I call BS on that. The post says:

> When optimising a site for search engines, we are helping people find the information they want quickly and easily. When SEO is successful, it results in people spending less time browsing the web looking for information

But that assumes that no SEO ever results in *less* relevant sites being ranked highly.

That strikes me as …wildly implausible

@cjd no worries, we can get it fixed with JS.

Oh... wait.

I would submit that religion is not incompatible with science.

But science IS incompatible with the peculiar American version of Christianity As Capitalism, the prosperity gospel, televangelists, and Christian Sharia Law.

@freemo Did they ban twitter clients for hate speech? Because there's a lot…

It's not the clients/dev job to block stupid fucks' instances. It's the admin job. By the way, it's not even effective, it's either a FLOSS client and you can remove the block or a proprietary client and you trust it, and it's an open door for shitload of abuses (No way to make sure it won't block other instances on whatever arbitrary criteria they choose, for political reasons, money, or something else… ).
