Very fun, but I'm horrible at this

I thought hackernews strips out emojis, interesting.

There are indeed no emojis on that comment for me, are you using a different client?

I can actually see the emoji for number 4 on iOS Safari.

It’s in the 3rd line, the one before the website url (penultimate).

On Firefox Windows I see the number 4 with some line over it.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on the Twitter/X button. Your perspective helps me understand how different users experience the site. I'm curious - what kind of sharing feature would you find more useful? Or perhaps you have other ideas for interactive elements that might add fun without being distracting? I'd love to hear any suggestions you have for improving MoodieMovie!

Oh god. I see it in the mobile web ui. that's true, i will remove it immediately!

"Illegal" might be a bit strong, "Against the EULA" a bit more realistic, which may or may not be illegal, depending on the context and involved country.

Hosting copyrighted media without a distribution license is usually illegal. Very few countries allow you to just distribute proprietary disk images like this.

You can extract the images yourself from official install media (for instance, the installers you can create from within macOS) and use it for whatever personal project you want; you'd be breaking the EULA, but that doesn't mean much. You're not allowed to throw your copy on the internet, though.

Other projects I've seen download the installer images directly from Apple, something they could probably detect and block if they wanted to. That would probably be completely legal, as nobody is unlawfully distributing the files. This is different; the Docker images contain a copy of macOS.

Apple could probably take this project down any time they want to, but if they wanted to they probably would've already.

I’m not a lawyer, but pretty sure unauthorized redistribution of copyrighted material is a crime (in the US.) This docker image contains Apple copyrighted files, probably, but anyone feel free to explain if I’m wrong.

You need to prove commercial intent to profit

If a choir teacher distributes the lyrics to a Britney Spears song to their students for practice, there is nothing illegal about this

If a choir teacher starts a website britneylyrics.com and puts ads on the website, that would qualify

The EULA might prohibit redistribution, but you don't need to accept an EULA to copy-paste files, as far as I know.

I think you’re right for the definition of criminal infringement. I still think this image is civilly liable for infringing Apple’s copyright (not a crime as I originally said.)

> The EULA might prohibit redistribution

I don’t think it matters. Copyright law automatically forbids copying. Well, assuming Apple complied with any requirements to have a valid copyright, which seems a safe bet.

My understanding is that commercialization certainly weakens a fair use argument, but that its absence does not automatically make a reproduction and/or distribution fair use.

You don't need to accept an EULA to download the files from Apple either.

I suspect that it probably doesn't matter; Apple has generally not cared about Hackintoshes as long as you aren't selling pre-made Hackintoshes. Apple probably doesn't really mind for stuff like this, since this probably isn't realistically eating much into Apple's market.

There are some space between windows when using this, which create some komorebis

I think it’s pretty obvious?

It’s even horrible with this change

It might be helpful when accessing news websites outdoor (since my internet provider rate limits hard). It’s basically a proxy, right?

I’m not even going to try though because there’s a signup wall.

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought just after finding out it uses whisper for transcribing. Why not use it when it’s already transcribed?

Cool, but I want those titles to be distinguishable

Do you think C has a better syntax compared to Rust? I'm honestly not sure about this. It surely heavily depends on your preferences, though. Generally speaking, what do you think?

It has a generally simpler syntax, except for function pointers and arrays, but I wouldn't call it "better". Comparing syntaxes of such different languages is pointless anyway. Syntax should serve semantics.

"Simpler" is the word that we care about. Although Rust is an advance on C in many significant ways, what it loses is the simplicity. One of our goals is to offer three same advances (and more) but without compromising on simplicity.
