At the point ad-blockers are regarded as terrorism and gay sex is a capital crime, there’s no reason not to play with explosives or enrich uranium.

In for a penny, in for a kilo of cobalt.

Could’ve done even better if you had made your post about not pissing for three days.

Have you forgotten the classic “no poop for 3 days” post? It pretty much took over Lemmy for like a week.

Well, maybe the people on lemmy just like piss that much.

Btw., my 2nd most popular comment is me promoting death wishes.

Terms of service were meant to be broken, they are a once-sided agreement that the other party never needs to uphold, there are no consequences for them if they don’t. So I say the moment they try to screw you over give them a good punch in the face, there are some nasty ways to do that to online entities, some illegal, others just petty, some in grey areas (in real free countries none of them are illegal, because corporations aren’t protected in places like that).

I think it’s Sony that has a patent on a TV that uses a camera and microphone so they can play ads that only stop when you stand up, raise your arms and shout “McDonalds!”, for example. Not in Black Mirror, in real life.

They do, but we have to remember that big companies like that file patents all the time for concepts they never actually use. Apple is famous for it.

It’s true, it’s even possible they’re sitting on it so nobody else can do it. But at the same time I feel like if they felt they could get away with it they’d do it. It’s closer to reality than we’d like to think.

I’m not familiar with black mirror. Is this literally in the literal sense of the word by definition or literally in the oxymoronic figurative sense?

As in that’s somewhat happening in an episode of the series where ads are being forced onto the main character, and it paused when the MC close his eye because he didn’t want to watch it.
