Article reads as propaganda

More like advertising. I'd put down a pretty big bet that Life360 sponsored this article and probably wrote a fair chunk of the copy, too.

Not quite. By the most common definitions, they're born between 1997 and 2012, so 10-26.

It wasn't even doing that. The translation was happening any time someone put the word/flag "Palestine" in their profile with the phrase "praise be to God". There didn't even any protest or any mention of the war.

I think it's the "temporary" part of the licence where the trouble comes. Yes, you're allowed to do whatever you want privately...until you're not. I mean Louis Rossman is (in my view) a very trustworthy individual, so "trust me bro" legitimately does carry a lot of weight when he's involved on the project, but "we can take away your licence at any time for no reason at all" is not something seen in the open source world.

(No hate on the FUTO team. It's their hard work and livelihood and if that's the licence they want, that's fine. This is just my personal opinion.)

If they're just trying to avoid a NewPipe situation, the licence is more heavy-handed than it has to be. NewPipe is GPLv3, which has provisions in it for preventing forks from using certain names or logos or identifying marks. The NewPipe team chose not to (or neglected to) use those specific provisions in the GPL. But it's perfectly within their right to add to the licence information "You are not allowed to use the words 'new' or 'pipe' or use the letter P stylized as a triangle in a logo. The GPL makes a provision for these sorts of restrictions to automatically void the licence even for the case where none of those things are legally trademarked. (I'm not a lawyer and it's probably an open question as to how a court would enforce that clause, but my suspicion is it's probably enough to get Google to suspend violators from the Play Store at the very least. Probably you'd want to go to the trouble of trademarking them to be safe)

It wasn't, by the way. Though it could have been flagged by the dumbest of online translators (or even anyone who could read Cyrillic, since some of it uses English loanwords, like "sex" and "gay"). It should never have made it in release, but I disagree with categorizing it as "hate speech". I feel comfortable posting it here, even though it's pretty crude and #3 in particular is very vulgar. If anyone's curious, here are the Google Translate translations of the vandalized parts (except for one of them, fullInstallationSubtitle, which I think is too offensive to be repeated here. It references the Israel-Palestine war):

That "airline pilot speaking over an intercom" is spitting mad fire

I actually did write up my own tiny little IMAP client (kind of like an email program, except not very interactive) that automated the process of moving them every day. I've found that I don't (personally) really need it, though.

I haven't thought about making a Monday, Tuesday, etc., folder. I feel like I'd get the days mixed up, but maybe it would work well for some people.

This is mostly how I operate, too. Keep it in FLAC so I always have something to go back to.

But if I ever need a USB stick to play in the car, I'm just going MP3 and not thinking twice about it. I know every car that plays from USB is going to play MP3 just fine.

It's a really good question which seems to have a complicated answer. This page here led me to this here (among other documents).

The short of it seems to be have that if you think of Rust in terms of "crates" instead of "libraries", then it's still possible to package in a way that conforms to Debian's self-contained avoid-redundancy style, though the details of it seem a bit tricky.
