Yeah but you do need to hang the takedown on some technical reason like copyright or scamming. The issue here is there's no obvious victim. Makes a takedown harder.

It's worse than that. There's a SECOND imitator that I actually stumbled on today while looking something up about nanoclaw - nanoclawS [dot] io - and that one's harvesting email a…

These experiments tend to work at reducing secondary crimes etc. However, they also are usually unpopular at the same time, leading to a backlash and a drug clampdown again. It's t…

Honestly, well above 12 hours a day between office, home and phone. 14? And that's not counting Kindle as a screen.

Animal sounds in different languages are weird in the first place. Ducks go "Quack" in English, but "Coin" in French (sounds more like "kwan"), "mac" in Romanian and "rap" in Danis…
