@MaggieCi Not to mention their marketing department.

A friend of mine sent me these screencaps and I’m laughing so hard.

YouTube DMCA nonsense did it again. They got a takedown notice for the OBVIOUSLY parody channel There I Ruined It and that channel is now basically defunct. Parody is protected by fair use, but who are we kidding here.

#DMCA is a terrible law, and it incentivizes media platforms to just obey whoever has more money. It unfairly favors incumbents, and renders fair-use arguments moot as platforms like YouTube have zero incentives to rule in favor of indie creators.

I continue to find #Swift’s namespacing rules funny. Like declaring

class Foo { enum E { ... } }

is fine, but

class Foo { protocol Delegate { ... } }

is not.

But you could declare a FooDelegate, and declare a typealias Delegate = FooDelegate inside Foo…

It’s just kinda odd. I wish namespacing were more uniform.
