"Except Netflix is using a DMCA takedown request, a legal instrument, to remove the disputed content illegally, because they do not own the copyright to the taken down works."
If your C code happens to be compileable with a C++ compiler, then either your program is very small or you are writing really shitty C.
> Numerous women have come forward with stories about being sexually harassed by Stallman over the years.
Sources? Not trying to be dismissive, but I can't find any on DDG or Google.
> And of course, he actually did advocate for legalization of child rape earlier in his career.
He never did that. He advocated for child consent. You may think I'm nitpicking but it's an important distinction. Child rape colloquially means unconsentual / forced sex, but technically means any sex since children cannot legally consent. If you say he defends child rape you are colloquially saying he defends unconsentual sex, when he never did such a thing.
EDIT: Your other comment makes me thing you're 100% serious about this. The fuck? We need to smear him because he's an awkward nerd? An awkward person is not inherently harmful simply for being awkward. What harm has he "continually done" to deserve this?
I wish people would stop touting this. Just because you pay for it doesn't mean you aren't being tracked. I would say MS Word is considerably worse because you have to pay for it and it still tracks you.
How is this at all surprising? Any non-open source program can do everything you just listen and more. Discord may have been dumb for naming their analytics request point "/track" but that doesn't make them worse than anyone else. I wouldn't be surprised if Word sent every button press to Microsoft. And besides, all the chat data is stored on their servers anyways, so it's not like they get a whole bunch of new data through this.
1. Many homeless people are insane. Not all, and it is more represented in TV than in real life, but it is still true. I guess it's kind of a shame that media doesn't represent homeless people better, but tropes do come partially from truth. And come on, a "thinking brain dog" is pretty funny.
2. No one wants to tune into a noir PI show and watch struggles to pay the bills and roommate drama. And don't be ridiculous, there are tons of shows that show people living in shitty conditions.
3. This point makes me think the article is satire. Seriously? It's "classist" to kill stormtroopers since they're probably just "low-middle income people making ends meet?"
4. I'm guessing this show is based off the middle ages, where commoners literally did have lice and rotting teeth. Don't forsake realism for 21st century ideals of "anti-classism."
5. This has to be a joke too. The reason collective action is "villainized" in those stories is because it went too far. Protesting is fine and whatever, but if you're causing destruction then obviously your protest movement should be villainized. It's not classist.
Really? Most throwaway-script errors I get are simple things like IO mistakes, mistyped URL, or logic errors. The rust borrow checker is not designed to catch simple mistakes, it's designed for massive multi-threaded applications, e.g. making sure threads access data safely, making sure a variable doesn't get unexpectedly modified by some other file, making sure memory is owned by exactly one place, etc. But in a single-threaded garbage collected script that can fit on your monitor, why should you care? The borrow checker does not check for logic errors; it checks for the things you don't care about.
