@braindump the ‘stated rationale’ does not compute.

@joelhamill it is also said that there is no such thing as a badly trained pet - only a badly trained owner.
@jeremycherfas to riff on the old joke of the pig with a wooden leg ...
Rebooting this one, since it might have passed you by.
A sad tale of plagiarism that I find disgusting. I think tomorrow is the deadline.
A Transcript of his podcast that he provided follows (my bold)
The next proper episode will be up in a couple of days – I’m recording it tonight – but I just wanted to make a brief announcement. It has recently been brought to my attention that the French language podcast Un dernier disque avant la fin du monde has, for nearly two years, been making French-language versions of my podcast without giving me credit(the episodes before that don’t seem to be ripped off from me), and has been monetising them on Patreon – including making his own French-language versions of some of my Patreon bonuses. This is not a case of someone just taking inspiration from my work. It’s not someone doing episodes on the same songs and possibly leaning a little too heavily on me as a source. That kind of thing is forgivable. This is someone who has been doing word-for-word translations, without my permission, and without crediting me or even notifying me, and posting them as his own work. As far as my schoolboy French indicates he’s not even lightly paraphrasing. He clearly listens to my podcast, so I am going to give him until Monday to take all those episodes down and post an apology before I contact a lawyer. I’m posting this publicly so that anyone who has been listening to his show and wondering about the similarity, or listening in the belief I authorised his work, knows that this is the work of a plagiarist, not something I’ve endorsed in any way. And if anyone wants to do translated versions of my work, they can contact me and make proper arrangements. I put too much time and effort into my job to have someone pass my work off as theirs without a fight.
@JohnBrady interesting - and another use case for 'bulk selection and single action' on multiple posts in Mars Edit might be a good thing @danielpunkass ?
@the yes indeed .. more a definitive comment outloud .. and a little nod under the radar to you that I clicked though.
@SimonWoods I was brought up in England (the North) and was exposed to different foods thanks to my parents … but in turn they did explore the world before making York their home. It would have been late 60s when my mum first spotted peppers in a green grocer in Stonegate (if you know York today .. “ a green grocer is an odd enough expression .. on Stonegate means I must be form a parallel universe.j she marched out with a few knowing exactly what she was going to do with them, though to others in the store .. they were a conversation point.
All this to say .. I know what you mean .. then again in my teens and twenties the ‘Indian’ was very much established and a Vindaloo was on every menu )though personally not for me) … but an explosion of taste available in any of them .. (quality may vary for sure) but they aren’t all eating Korma.
@the oh - she’s going to run for higher office.
