Re:Over 900 Rarbg Magnet Link Repos Anonymously Nuked from GitHub

The headline is misleading: it's 900 forks of the same GitHub repository and AFAICS a DMCA of one repository also takes down its forks.
To make it more difficult to take down, they could clone and push a new repository back to GitHub without the fork relationship.

I don't remember signing a contract with YouTube. They send my browser a list of "things" and their URLs required to render a page and, as my agent, my browser can freely load or ignore them.

I have HTTPS-everywhere and the HTTPS version of this page has an SSL certificate that expired 2 years ago. Maybe with a smaller legacy student fraction they could keep their SSL up to date!
Re:Firefighters in Canada: ‘Gigantic blazes will burn all summer’

Yeah, unfortunately, it looks like this summer is going to be a bad one for wildfires in Canada. My family lived in British Columbia for a few years, and they had to evacuate their home once due to a wildfire. It was terrifying, and they saw the devastation that fires can cause firsthand. My heart goes out to all those affected by these fires.
