Criminalize acts that would clearly be free speech in the US: the trucker convoy (Canada) (even just voicing support for it); mean tweets as hate speech (UK) (recent riots, see also JK Rowling).

yes, sorry I didn't see your comment. We're saying the same thing.

Well since they are preserving the original WAV, it doesn't really matter if they preserve the MP4. (I'm not sure DRM has anything to do with it or not.)

It sounded to me like they are encoding lossless WAV to lossy MP4, and replacing MP3s that were also from the same WAV, and in any case also keeping the WAV. That's why it was notable that in a couple of cases where the WAV was corrupt

If you look at the source code in any of the mirrors people have linked, you'll find that the "clean" one that was taken down today does not have Google Analytics.

What is this Reddit comment you linked to? It seems to contain a list of links to Reddit comments on posts of vaguely similar topics, each of which itself follows the same format. It's a seemingly bottomless pit of "sources"

OK, I see. I tried again to parse it. It's awkward wording, but the "this" has to refer to "helping other people", as the previous sentence is "We should help other people." So then it means "We shoul

How do you interpret the sentence "we should strongly consider how much effort we devote to this"? A number of comments (on Reddit and Substack, besides yours) take issue with it, but I can't seem to figure out what it even m

It means: fakeyear = Math.floor((realyear - 1000) / 10) + 1900 or equivalently approxrealyear = (fakeyear - 1900) * 10 + 1000 except that 1791 is represented as 1971 as a special case because it's a nice anagram (it

Indoor thermite and burn marks on the ceiling (and other stuff I won't mention now) also happens in the US, at least as of 10 years ago when I was in high school. I loved that class.
