So how is Anthropic using DMCA copyright claims to take down code that they boast was written by AI? Didn't the courts just recently rule that AI-generated material wasn't copyrightable?

Oh really?

Can we just put it bluntly?

If you're vibe-coding open source, you are *not* doing open source.

To do open source, you must be creating source code that both has clear provenance *and* the new code you're writing is IP you have full rights to offer under compatible license. As is quickly becoming clear, that second one is getting tested and failing legal checks in places like the US.

Weatheradio - Canada.ca

Need to be alerted when weather threatens? Or do you just want to hear the latest weather information for your area at any time of day or night, any day of the year? Environment Canada’s Weatheradio network broadcasts weather warnings and current observations and forecasts using the VHF public radio band, 24/7. Within range of more than 90 percent of the population, Weatheradio can be heard on special receivers and, in some areas, on ordinary AM/FM radio.

Can we please just all start using `fs.glob` now?
