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.

Good. https://www.wsj.com/articles/huawei-technicians-helped-afric...

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.

I successfully drew a penis.

What other companies do you expect will be impacted in a similar way?

Yes, China is bad.

A service that exists in one city, (and can't even keep their appstore rating above 4 stars in that city) is not a good comparison.

Thank you for the well thought out response, in that case I am happy to concede I was wrong. Let my post serve as an example of what you were pointing out.

And now I'm into the 2nd year of my startup. As contrary to popular belief, the Chinese are true entrepreneurs and the society is generally very supportive for changes. And government's stimulus is insane. For example, my company got six million yuan (almost $1 million) fund from the municipal government when it's just established, with almost no requirement and absolutely no string attached. Free money and that's all. Probably the best place in the world to start a company and I'm greatly thankful.

derp

You say that, but here's a perfect example of what appears to be an obvious Chinese account that is currently unbanned.

This is a great idea! It's honestly long overdue

Simply put, Huawei's products have better quality and companies in the US can't compete with it.

I'm now typing on a Huawei Matebook 13 and carrying a Huawei Mate 10 phone. Those things have amazing quality and it's a real pity customers can't have them in the States.

You have an interesting post history supporting Huawei for an account only a month old...

I would say at least several days for the obvious QA which needs to be done.

And you would unfortunately, not get the job.

48% of wage earners had net compensation less than or equal to the median wage

Isn't that how math works?

Two years later, and I honestly forgot they removed it. The lack of a headphone port hasn't impacted my daily life at all.

You're wrong.

Can you include this?

ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);

This is not going to happen.
