Considering how much time, energy and money my government spends on bullshit, all the while saying how important the environment is to them, I'd say this argument doesn't hold much water.

I'm intrigued. How does Japan Twitter works differently than western Twitter? Can you shed some light or provide a link to read about it?

The linked one with the rings didn't work on me. I had to focus to see what they said I should be seeing.

I'm pretty sure they mean a pre-configured appliance, not something you have to provide the hardware for and install the software on on your own.

I don't think "pirating" is a legal definition. By the way, point 8 has an important caveat at the beginning: "It is possible to make a copy of a work for personal use under the exceptions contained in the Czech Copyrig

He didn't write the manual, though. He wrote the GNU coreutils `su` program itself.

Reading the comments here I'm under the impression that people think OP wrote the manual for `su`, but the interesting fact here is he wrote the GNU coreutils implementation of `su` itself. Debian (stable, at least) doesn't use hi

While we're at it, the woman in the clip is Liù Bosisio. Beside interpreting Fantozzi's wife in many movies of the series, she did Marge's voice in the Italian version of The Simpsons before being replaced after season 22.

But that's the point of the rant. How does knowing that "cookies are small text files" help the user understanding what a cookie is and does? That's just an irrelevant implementation detail.
