    It's common for them to not include more than original and/or English audio, but most competent groups will generally include all available subtitles at least.

    it does, but to use hashes you'd have to pin exact versions of every dependency, which is generally undesirable for a library

    i don't understand why you're being downvoted, that's exactly what it is for. android users can use do not disturb as well.

    why does not having any nyc employees yet exempt them if they are hiring nyc-based people?
