Very interesting, thank you for the thoughtful explanation!

I note the rule reminder, but I very respectfully raise one hell of an eyebrow at the implication that discussions about ranking the significance of dead children by skin colour ought to be conducted curiously, dispassionately and substantively.

I imagine this will continue being walked back into nothingness. It's probably not even legal.

Why would the Papacy be exasperated with the Latin Mass movement if it's merely celebrating one of the allowable options?

(Genuine question, I'm sure I lack all context.)

Haha, I'm not too young for that, but I think that was a fairly fringe use case even then. Most people were never on IRC.

In the late 90s / early 2000s Internet radio would probably have made me think of RealPlayer, and shortly thereafter actual radio stations' own websites with embedded streams. Then I'd think of aggregators like the original iTunes, and now TuneIn.

It appears to take a folder of .opus music files and serve some kind of Opus live stream, and it is controllable via IRC (as in, you can tell it to queue or skip songs over IRC). Or at least that's my best guess based on the linked demo instance.

It would certainly benefit from a single line atop the README that clearly stated what this actually does. I certainly don't think of IRC when I think of Internet radio.

The US attacks on Iran is a different event altogether from the Israeli genocide in Gaza. You're conflating discrete conflicts with different parties and different modes of engagement.

The US attack on that school is atrocious and I condemn it. While possibly a war crime, it does not meet the definition of genocide, unlike Israel's conduct in Gaza, which certainly does. There's no evidence of recent US conduct amounting to genocide (much historical evidence vis-a-vis American Indians though).

To the extent you wish to penalise complicity in genocide, go for it, but I will notice if you're oddly selective in which genocides you apply that standard to, and which you don't. (Which countries traded with Burma during the Rohingya genocide? Do you know? Do you care?)

> brown children

What does the children's colour have to do with anything at all? Do we grade the severity of war crimes by the (perceived? assigned?) race of the victim? Horrific thought.
