Moreover, Grimms' copyright has been expired while Disney's copyright is set to never expire.

This.

Also, advertising every file in torrent (of unsuspecting user) to entire world would be a HUGE privacy flaw.

But why? The current Kademlia implementation built in eMule/aMule does exactly this. Primary data advertised is file name string, there is also a support for several meta fields. Transfer proto sucks, but I don't think it really matters in the case of ultra-rare content.

I just dropped here to praise archivists and their merit in general. I treasure content (regardless of its perceived quality) preservation much more than legal or even ethical problems associated with it.

Anecdote: Remember when Microsoft Corp. declared what they love open source software and launched CodePlex platform, and then lost their business interest in it (when they bought GitHub) so they completely erased CodePlex archives? I was able to reach several long forgotten project I was interested in thanks to invaluable work of independent volunteer archivists. (It was quite tough manual job for me, I had to d/l database then locate desired archive segment and only then could transfer required files via bittorrent proto)

Well, given they were injecting untested and unproven SARS-CoV-2 "vaccine" which wasn't even a vaccine till they changed the definition, they could do a traditional medicine plant despite the mild toxicity and the absence of other clinical evidence...

But why FDA is to blame? Just get it from nearby euro-drugstore and do your unlicensed fix.

> Copilot is the largest disrespect to open source No, its owner, Microsoft Coproration is. Remember, what they did with CodePlex archives?

But they ain't some kind of special villains, its today's monopoly market kicked in. Selling startuprs to Yahoo comes with consequences.

> capable of laundering open source code That's an exaggeration. Copilot is still a dumb machine which accidentally learned to mimic the practice of borrowing intellectual property from human coders.

Thanks for reductio ad absurdum baiting. And yes, these "laws" are clearly an abuse. Most of them ends up banning virtually any drawings because its impossible to assert if particular manga really depicts non-minor. Funny thing to see where burden of proof is in this particular case. Even more funny what its been almost 1.5ky after Justinian's statute.

But anyway... Why should I give up my freedoms just because of someone's parenting failures? Irresponsible parents are putting their children in danger, not the ABSOLUTE freedom of speech. Which isn't a subject of quid pro quo, really. And even not because my libertarian views on this matter, but because it simply doesn't work otherwise.

Well polite people at least say "please". Otherwise you just go buy more SDRAM and ALU chips and be computer scientist.

Curious thing is, you yourself dropped into gcc studying tool discussion clearly having no idea what I was criticizing in it.

Looks like a toy for me. Also written in Go which itself means its not serious.

When tampering gubment censorship, one should apply the usual opsec rules and thus stick to mature and proven solutions and refrain from experimenting. This means Tor or reputable commercial VPN provider, not yet-another-tor-killer. And the developers in general should invest more efforts into low-level attacks like GoodbyeDPI instead.

> Russian special military operations in Ukraine

It is a war. There is no demand for this euphemism.

And no, free speech is absolute thing, otherwise it simply doesn't work.

A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither.

A Bored Chinese Housewife Spent Years Falsifying Russian History on Wikipedia

She “single-handedly invented a new way to undermine Wikipedia,” says a Wikipedian.*

Its better than the others but also very unprofessional as the other web stuff. It DOES link but its absolutely impossible to view generated map. People are just hyping about codegen related microoptimizations but don't care about layout at all.

Very typical for today's world where javascript coder counts as software engineer.

> For me, JavaScript became my primary language and stays

Oh, my God! Computer science of leftPad.js strikes back.
