Not sure about "legal battles", but I don't think it will be quite as it was. It was always wise to keep existence of youtube-dl sort of public secret, since our, ehm, data sources were never keen of it in the first place. Ev

So, was there some decision about the actual youtube-dl project future? Is it moving somewhere? Or is everything on hiatus?

Good bookmarking app is something that I would actually pay for without hesitation (and I'm not very generous with software subscriptions and such). But what I'm absolutely not going to use is bookmarking or note-taking app, stori

Yeah... People act upset because they spend money on a product they cannot use. It's not for me to discuss if it's even legal, but if it is, then the only thing to discuss is if it's fair, which is a philosophical question. I

Yep. In fact, it feels to me as if you are softening things up quite a bit: sure, glorifying the military is something that every country (read as "government") tries to do, but I don't really know any modern example other

Yeah, I was contemplating to maybe start a Twitter account, but didn't because of that. They do this pretty much on every account creation after a couple of hours, I guess so that you'd have some time to get on the hook. I'm

That's an interesting perspective. If I think about it this way, it seems obvious that doing random bullshit when you can do anything is like... quintessence of stupid. On the other hand, if this is obviously stupid , there must be so

I believe that this is absolutely the case. In fact, this is kind of the point. No way we would have Wikipedia if it did demand much structure from the very beginning. I don't see it possible (and, in fact, I don't want it to happ

Any of these thoughts are valid only under the assumption that one is concerned if something is written by GPT-3 or a human. But nobody cares. I would gladly read Wikipedia written by GPT-3, if it can rewrite math articles in a less fucked-
