No state that includes Quebec can be considered great.

~~Also why is Utah highlighted.~~

It would be weird if the OTW just outright stated that fanfiction was copyright infringement, starting off from the position of "yeah, it breaks the law" would be a bad form of advocatory. The case they link on that FAQ is about a parody of (at the time) 20 year old song, which is materially very different from how fanfiction works. I do think if it ever did go to court that a non-commercial exception would likely be carved out, but as it currently stands I don't think there's any precedent in either my own country or America that can be used to argue that fanfiction meets the criteria for fair use/dealings. Then again, I'm not a lawyer so my opinion probably isn't worth much.

(sidenote: it's mad that American copyright law doesn't have an explicit exception for parody)

Fanfics are 100% copyright infringement, there's no fair use/dealings defence of them. There's just little point for corporations to go out and enforce their copyright, fanfic authors likely don't have much money and it'd be a PR nightmare. Obviously this equation changes when people start to profit of fan work, it's why AO3 doesn't allow direct links to donation pages.

It is amazing how Britain purports to be a secular state while having a state religion.

Unrelated, but could you remove the full stop and capitalise "Tools" in the community display name. I get unreasonably annoyed when looking at it.

Sure, but software that targets a moving platform like Emacs can often break. I'm commenting on how stable Emacs is, even past major releases (25->29 in this case).

Meson + ninja is pretty nice. Builds a lot faster than autotools as well.

There is an API end point to get upvoted posts. I don't know about third party clients, but you can get it with curl:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 'Authorization: Bearer <Auth token here>' \ 
  -X GET 'https://ukfli.uk/api/v3/post/list?type_=All&sort=New&liked_only=true' | jq

The idea we don't hate on Musk is genuinely insane. His hate subreddit even got brought over ([email protected]).

You could've chosen literally any other billionaire and you would've had a point.
