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.


I have a big archive torrent of Licensed Fakku and Irodori Mangas. I will double down on seeding these torrents and every Fakku Archive I will find. Hope you're happy you greedy snake

if you have any ounce of humanity left inside you then retract the DMCA notice and leave this project and hard working innocent dev alone.

Ok


Spend one minute "embracing imperfection"...


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


Backwards compatibility. Older browsers will still be able to render the <select> and submit it as part of a form, just with its options unstyled.


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.


Well I mean they were very much fine with shooting down civilian airliner sanctioned by puttin' and hoped in vain that Ukraine government gets the blame (only for KGB guy Strelkov to boast about doing it a bit later, apart from all the other clear evidence).

Human lives, be it russian or literally anybody else, have for russian government 0 value in the way it has for the rest of the world, and don't hold your breath about rest of population being massively different than government (I don't mean few great folks here and there who didn't escape yet, I mean whole 150 million population overall). This has been true for centuries and while much of the world moved on from those barbaric times, they didn't and recently went into full throttle reverse. Any treaties with them are worth less than paper they are on, they uphold them only if it suits them.

Anybody watching how they behave either in Ukraine or previously elsewhere, anywhere ain't surprised a bit. Accept the reality of who they are and who they are definitely not, then we can start effectively dealing with this cancer of modern world with massive inferiority complex (for which there are tons of good reasons, but it didn't have to go this way with more moral nation).

No love there, only the opposite, facts are clear and consistent.


Don't think Russia's all that special. The only reason the West values those lives is that they're valuable pawns against Russia. To see how the West acts about lives that aren't valuable pawns, just look at Palestine. The West lost all moral credibility after Palestine. Our governments can't claim they care about human life any more.


Russian misinformation has just gotten better.



Which telco doesn't comply with requests from the government of the country they operate in?


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.
