Yeah, straight-up reposting images in bulk like that is one of those crimes that people do thoughtlessly, but all over the place without even realizing it's a copyright violation, or not even caring that it is one.

The bot should be posting links to the comic pages and let mastodon's multimedia stuff extract preview images.

Anything other than that may be "convenient", but is ultimately entirely self-serving at the detriment of the people whose work the bot is using.

How do you feel about fixing that, rayalez?

Also, for anyone wondering why this matters, further reading from an incident last year: https://twitter.com/aurahack/status/902363519672360962 - https://twitter.com/i/moments/901869159931187200

I don't agree that that is a rational reaction, but it explains the reaction. Thanks for the explanation. Allows me to know i didn't do anything wrong.

What.

At least people misusing the word "triggered" provide a good signal that they're posting in bad faith. :)

As a Perl developer i mean this literally and transfer it to other languages as well. POD (or a block comment above a function) describes the API and use cases of the function. Inline comments inside the function exist only to provide explanation for the next maintainer when they see a strange construct. Any other type of comment needs to be refactored.

Also, i never said documentation isn't useful. HOW and WHY are useful. WHAT in documentation and comments isn't because it should be in the variable/function/method/class/instance name.

(Who/Where/When are covered by the source repository and the blame function.)

Comments are not documentation.

Documentation explains HOW to use a thing. Good comments explain WHY a thing is strange. Bad comments explain WHAT a thing does and must be made redundant by extracting and naming the thing.

It's sadly how the licensing business works. Although i do 100% blame netflix for calling it a "netflix original" when all they did was buy a license and be sent files they can't touch.

Copyright limits the right to copy a specific expression. Not a similar one, it has to be a specific one.

The very fact that the lyrics are completely different should absolutely disqualify this from even remotely touching copyright:

Called them directly and they told me "it's only fixed if many people report it" (ain't gonna happen), and "since this is licensed content, it depends on the other company and we have no idea whatsoever when or if it's gonna be fixed, or even how long we'll carry the series for". So much for "netflix original".

As someone with decent difficulty understanding spoken english, yeah, i do choose netflix over amazon video for that reason as well (no hulu in germany, and often amazon subs have only german subs here).

I've poked Netflix again this week, but really, i don't expect anything. It's not like they respond to the original complaint. Often these services just put up the files given by their contract partners and then walk away. RWBY on crunchyroll has no english subtitles either despite being originally english. Roosterteeth, the creator company, is aware of this and hasn't fixed it in the year since i reported it. To make it worse, the page claims english subs are available.

For evergarden though, torrenting from a dedicated translation group is the only option to get non-broken subs at the moment.

You get extremely lucky then. Violet Evergarden has a hilariously badly subtitled sequence in S1E2 at 7:25. The whole thing is wrong, but in short, she says "you wanted a girl" when she said "your parents wanted a girl" and talks about him saying a girl's name in bed when she was talking about herself.

I reported this back in jan 19, and it's still fucked.

As far as i understand it a jury is supposed to be composed of one's "peers", but the people the parent describes strike me as way off the american norm.

The USA is a strange place. Thanks for the explanation.

The chain as i saw it:

Jurors are asked if they will treat the word of law enforcement as always true. Jurors are disqualified if they don't say yes. Jurors are sworn, as you say, to tell the truth. Presumable jurors get punished if they end up acting counter to their previous word?

Thus, jurors that end up on the bench are forced by law to act as if every word by law enforcement is true, even if it contradicts physical reality. No?

Did i kick someone's puppy here or what? I could understand getting this level of disagreement if i claimed all doctors are psychopaths, but all i did was point out that not all eye doctors enjoy their job. Not like i give a shit about karma, but i am honestly curious what caused this seemingly extremely irrational reaction.

The last time i tried Wire its UX was about as stable as what a 12 year old would cobble together with old ducktape and string. Constantly exhibiting glitches and bugs and lacking even the most basic UI amenities as well as being a heavyweight browser app.

Does Wire have a light-weight and solid desktop client yet?

Wait, really? Jurors have to swear to always treat law enforcement word as true, even if this entirely contradicts physical reality?

Do they get punished if they say yes to that and somehow it becomes obvious they're not doing that?

Really depends on the person. I have very small sight problems (+.5/-.75) which don't affect me most of the time, but are a danger in traffic. The doctor that diagnosed that really didn't care to answer any of my questions.

They're not even very good at that. The framerate of the VERY FIRST clip with the statue of liberty at the start of that video is horrendous.

I appreciate you're trying to be logical about this, but it doesn't make sense to me.

If you accept that they saw the same feed as was behind them; if you accept that they knew the connection cutting was the booster coming down; then i see no reason to say "[we'll find out] whether it's standing" AFTER the smoke clears, except to misdirect the stream audience.

Do you have any concrete alternative explanation for that?

Or, you know, a bare modicum of common sense.

Try IRCCloud.

Gotta admit, as a workaround for the deficiency of "doesn't have local client logging", that one's really funny.

For open source developers logs of private 1:1 discussions are also highly valuable, so this would only be a bandaid.

Also, for those still using IRC, and needing an easy way to get others on it: IrcCloud is an excellent service with a mobile client lightyears beyond any other.

Oooh, so you're simply unaware and your bias prompts you to assume i'm making shit up. Here, let me fix that.

Watch exactly one minute after this timestamp, pay attention to the screen at the right edge of the video, in the middle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbSwFU6tY1c&t=30m33s

Drone ship feed static for a while, then smoke on deck clears, no core visible, deck empty. Both go "oh." and after a pause: "we're waiting to hear what happens. [...] we'll let you know as soon as we find out" and "we'll [...] know [...] whether it's standing".

It is clear during all of this that they're looking at the same video feed as is in the background, because the timing of their reactions is exactly in synch.

They saw it didn't land, they found out immediately and didn't let "us" know. Instead they claimed it might be possible it is standing despite seeing the empty deck.

PS: You could've asked instead of engaging in cheer pressure.

1. It is quite a while later.

2. Them lying live on stream with the evidence of the lie clearly visible is new.

I can warmly recommend Warframe for that coop shooter feeling. :)

Would've been nice if they hadn't lied about it during the livestream though, but i guess "everybody didn't even know" was exactly the point of why they did that. Big departure from their earlier modus operandi as well. Wonder if they'll also upload a full video of that crash like with their earlier crashes or whether they've changed that behavior too.

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. The difference between 60 and 1000mbit is not in allowing you previously impossible things. It is the same difference as between spinning rust and SSDs. It affects every single interaction you have with the networks to reduce friction as much as possible on your end, and also improves parallelization capabilities.

Downloading of small files will change from being a fraction of a second to nigh-imperceptible, and as long as the remote side supports it, this will apply to all images on a website at once. And no longer will downloading a game on steam mess with your youtube/netflix/whatever.
