Peter Sunde said that the show is not a fair description of what happened and that it's missing the focus on what was important.

The same arguments about learning vi/vim/neovim holds for ed. It's not intuitive, you need to get used to it, you need to learn, etc. People choose not to learn vim for the same reason vim users don't want to learn ed.

It's a text editor. It all began with the ed editor, which is very simple and does one thing, it edits files. Then someone extended it into the ex editor. Then someone added a new feature: being able to visually see the file you're editing, which became vi, the visual editor. Then someone improved that, into vim. What began as an editor where you needed to be fluent in regular expressions but otherwise was simple, is now a very complex editor, moving the functionality of the old UNIX tools into the editor itself.

I like your example with that song. If we interpret the scene as both acting out the behaviour the've been taught, they are both reinforcing each others behaviours. Assuming that both wanted to be together but there was an established "dance" around it. They can only work together. What if one (and only one) of them had not done their part? If he hadn't, she would have left, possibly feeling that he didn't really want her to stay. If she hadn't, she risks being labeled "easy". In both cases, again if we assume they both actually wanted to stay and feel good about it, they don't both get what they want.
So... if we now, as a conscious effort from society, are trying to get away from this bad system, it seems to me that the only way is a gradual de-escalation from both sides. It also seems to me that if we only tell men to never "pursue", but do nothing about the "hard to get"-behaviour, then men who follow the new instructions or script will be left with no chance to meet someone.
What I think is missing from the discourse today is that it's a hard sell to young men to change their behaviour, if doing so is punished by the same people asking them to change. We're caught in a stalemate where we need to help each other simultaneously, with mutual understanding, trust, and care. In that very sensitive process, trying to move it forward by telling someone they are a potential rapist is probably just making men dig deeper trenches and refuse to listen. Some people want this, I believe. The conflict that lets you feel righteous anger and resentment. But it's not helping.

How do you decide what to archive, and what is the long term plan? If Annas goes down it can be pieced together again? Or is it served to users now too?

The archive team sounds interesting!

What can an ordinary user do at this point that would help?

Historically, it seems like the legality is a bit fluid, and depends on how much money someone is willing to spend to stop you. What the Pirate Bay did was legal in Sweden until the big companies applied pressure and resources to stop them. I wish we lived in a world where laws could be interpreted clearly, but at least it seems like big money can have its way regardless. So, in your hypothetical website scenario, would someone powerful be very upset, or would it not be worth it for them to go after you?

I'm not sure. A few years ago I remember that OpenBSD expected ASCII for files, but I think Linux expects utf-8. I could be wrong though.

Unicode in filenames can be a bad idea, since there are more than one way to achieve what looks like the same character. So matching patterns could fail if you think it's one way, but it's actually another representation in unicode.

Back in the day, lemon party was my girlfriends first encounter with online nudity.
