Ah yes, let me just boycott my health insurance provider. Since it’s provided through my work, it’s real easy and convenient (not to mention cheap!) to switch to a different provider. And as for socialized medicine I’m sure Congress will get right on that, just as soon as the Democrats have a majority in the Senate. What’s that? They already had that and they sat with their thumbs in their asses not passing any laws because of something something bipartisanship? No matter, I’m sure it’s fine. If we put them in charge again I’m sure things will be different! We just need to vote!

The more-or-less stated goal of the second amendment is that the people have the tools needed to overthrow the government if they need to.

You and the guy you’re replying to

you have more respect for literal farm animals. ergo you do not see him as human.

What did he deserve, then?

Yeah, people actually doing what the second amendment was explicitly written to allow them to do looks like, uhhh… January 6, 2021.

Because to a certain extent Python is duck typed. Python has no concept of interfaces, unless you count the abc module combined with manual isinstance() checks, which I’ve never seen anyone do in production. In order to be passed to some function that expects a “file-like object”, it just has to have methods named read(), seek(), and possibly isatty(). The Python philosophy, at least as I see it, is “as long as it has methods named walk() and quack(), it’s close enough to a duck for me to treat it as one”.

Duck typing is distinct from weak type systems, though.

For the last time, Python is not weakly typed. It is dynamically typed. The statement 5 + "hello" results in a type error. Bash is weakly typed, and that same addition results in 5hello

I’m not sure about Click’nLoad or Debrid, but aria2 does all the other things you just listed.

oh there are plenty such. kget, aria2, uget, and motrix off the top of my head. but people use jdownloader for the same reason they use windows – it’s what they know.
