No, there are examples of people saying things that break a law getting arrested.

There seems to be this bizarre belief that it's fine to engage in incitement to violence, harassment or stalking, as long as it's done on social media.

It's not. They would be illegal via phone calls and they're still illegal on X or Facebook.

Yup, I know how git keeps the whole thing but if the audio file is stored as chunk, with perhaps layers applied, that could be storing just the changes as say mblobs, rather than blobs.

The reason for asking about diffs is that it makes it easier to break it down to manageable chunks.

Are there any music formats that allow, conceptually, for easy diffs?

If there are, it's not beyond reason to add something to git to make it work better.

If changing a single bit at the start of file changes the whole thing then it's really a failing of the file format. By which I probably mean the container format.

What papers? Give me something solid to go on here.

What is the practical difference? If it's so obvious it should be straightforward to point it out!

Edit: let me put it more bluntly. If God had created the universe 6000 years ago and just made it seem older, how could you tell the difference from the creator of a simulation doing exactly the same thing?

There must be a name for this fallacy. You know where it goes:

Person/Company does crappy thing

People complain

Fanboy says "Person/Company could do amazing thing and people would still complain"

... when it's very obvious that company/person didn't do anything good.

I've seen it so many times there must be a name for it. Anyone know what it is?
