Unpopular opinion, but this is objectively better than having to upload your ID to every random website that requires an age check (if that's what the end result is).

I'm Jacob, the CEO of FAKKU. The notice being discussed was sent by a 3rd party DMCA agent without our approval or permission. It seems they are using AI to find repositories related to legitimate issues and projects like this one got caught up in it. I've informed them NOT to continue doing this and to immediately cease.

The underlying issue is similar to if there was a website that illegally hosted Netflix content it had downloaded from torrents. Then that illegal website put up advertisements next to the content, or even a paywall cheaper than Netflix to make money. Obviously, that's against the law and Netflix would do something about it. That's generally what we are having to fight against.

Ironically projects like this actually hurt that illegal website, by circumventing THEIR paywall or advertisements, and serving the content inside an app for free (which was originally paid content). It's a complicated issue, but going after projects like this doesn't solve the root problem.

Ok

Spend one minute "embracing imperfection"...

Why would this be preferred over creating a new HTML element, like <options>?

I see people say this all the time, it's a harmful bad practice. Don't auto close bug reports after x amount of time.

>"It is a fact that Russia affects GPS devices in our region’s airspace,"

Fuck the Russian government.

Russian misinformation has just gotten better.

Thank god the touchbar continues to disappear

Well in your situation, it's good for Netflix if you cancel. You have multiple friends using the service via your account (by your own admission) that could potentially convert into paying customers on their own.

What if your iCloud account gets broken into, and a malicious person uploads a bunch of CSAM?

This was absolutely the right move. Smells really fishy given the history. I imagine this is happening in other parts of the community (attempting to add malicious code), albeit under a different context.
