What do you mean, no karma system? There is a karma system.

A private key to do what?

I only have the most cursory understanding of what Widevine is, but a quick Google reveals github projects claiming to spoof it.

Where I fail to understand is this. Whatever authentication the open source browser I modify needs to do, I can let it keep doing, because at some point it has to provide my browser C++ code with a clear text DOM before it renders it to an image to be displayed by my window manager. I can write that browser to simply remove DOM elements it deems to be ads - just like ublock does - before it renders it graphically.

The only way around this would be to turn browsers in to a completely dumb terminal that accepts an octet stream of pixel data so it can display bitmaps, which is completely unfeasible (every webserver would become a graphics card for each of it's users), and even if it did that, a simple neural net would identify the ads and remove them.

What am I missing?

So you just absolutely refuse to engage in the thought experiment if the result of it proves you wrong.

If you can terminate the pregnancy without killing the fetus, go for it.

If you can end the pregnancy without killing the fetus, but you kill the fetus, should that be illegal?

Aw, lost your temper because you can't force people to believe in your incoherent opinion?

politics is not geometry ok?

Claiming that there is nothing between two points is certainly geometry.

Also calm down.

Why can't my modded client just give it that signature?

On code I write on hardware I run locally, how is it ever possible to not be able to remove an element from the UI?

What if there's 1mm of the baby's toe still inside the mother, and she decides to shoot it in the head? Still legal?

I don't really understand how that's possible. The browser gets a token from the third party, and passes that token to the server to "prove" it's running the DRM. The server then passes code back to the browser. At that point, why can't the browser just cut out the DOM elements which are ads?

I don't understand how code I write on hardware I run locally can ever have it's hands tied like this.

I don't understand. Isn't someone just going to fork Chromium, take out this stuff, put in something that spoofs the DRM to the sites so that adblocking still works?

Can you still get to it via twitter.com?

You can do that with every unit though. How does that make any more sense than inches or ounces?

How does it make sense?

So 3 seconds before the head crowns, you should be able to kill the baby?

edit: no debate, just downvotes, huh?

Don't forget the Cayman Islands and Liberia.

American temperatures really never do stop sounding ridiculous.

We read from the left to right in English.

What's that?

Honestly, I barely go to any other websites anymore anyway, and I just read the headlines and comments here.

MySQL: you have an error near here.

Me: What's the error?

MySQL: It's near here.

Me: You're not going to tell me what the error is? Okay, near where? Here?

MySQL: warmer... warmer...
