Wait, wasn't red their colour..?

Indeed. Thermite is usually the recommended method to erase hard drives you don't want to be recoverable.

No, but seriously, you can use galena to make a radio that's powered by the radio waves themselves!

Very disco, though, the way it happened.

The story goes that, after watching the film, Reagan asked the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff ”Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?”, and, after looking into it for a week, the general came back with the reply “Mr. president, the problem is much worse than you think.”, which prompted Reagan into setting off a series of interagency memos and studies that led to the signing of classified national security decision directive NSDD-145, “National Policy on Telecommunications and Automated Information Systems Security.”.

So... yeah, things probably actually were that bad, or even worse (except for the AI bit, of course).

You're copying someone else's work

That's how culture works and has worked since humans have been human, you damn lunatic.

Copying and retelling and sharing each other's stories and works is what makes us human and differentiates us from other animals, you monstrously ignorant tool.

This totally depends on the ToS of the ticket issuer. It's his right to decid that for you

This logic is exactly what Disney is arguing gives them a right to murder your loved ones without consequences just because you once used one of their services.

The point is that it's evidently absurd, and more often than not outright monstrous.

Yeah, the question is how long until they make it illegal to quit. As I said Musk is already trying, with advertisers.

Ask any artist if they'd rather their work not be enjoyed at all, or enjoyed for free.

Here you go:

Torrents have no ads. And better quality. And are easier to find, watch, download, and archive. Much more convenient in every way.

Haven't watched TV in over a decade either. Or seen an ad. Still watch any show or movie I want to.

As Gabe Newell put it (and demonstrated with Steam), piracy is a service problem.

Blu-ray disks might last from 5 to 20 years, depending on quality. You'd better start backing them up if you care about your collection.

Oh, wait... that also counts as piracy, apparently. Tough luck, I suppose. 🤷‍♂️

kept their Disney+ subscription

No, no, the problem is that once you've had a Disney+ subscription, even a free trial, you're fucked for life (and beyond), according to Disney. You (and probably any descendants you might ever have) are restricted to arbitration for ever. Cancelling the subscription at this point won't help, you're already doomed.

The only ones who can save themselves are people who've never had a subscription (and to be safe I'd stay away from anyone who's ever had one, just in case Disney somehow managed to make the contract contagious).

(Of course you can still cancel on moral grounds if you're already infected, but given the precedent Musk is trying to set with advertisers who quit Xitter, Disney will probably be able to forcibly arbitrate you into subscribing again. You and your descendants are Disney serfs now, for ever and ever.)

He could still be shot from behind. To be safe he should have bulletproof glass on all sides. Also above and below, to account for drones and communist molemen. And make sure it's airtight, in case someone throws toxic gas at him.

Let me tell you, most people don't doomscroll 24/7

That's no excuse for wilful ignorance.

People have kids because that's what chemistry in their bodies makes them want, that's what drives us and other species to procreate.

Healthy people also have the ability to control their animal impulses. If you want sex, use contraceptives. If you for some reason want children, adopt.

Things are bad, but these arrogant and condescending comments are extremely stupid.

You're projecting now. What's arrogant, selfish, and extremely stupid (and downright sadistic) is to bring more children into this fucked up world.

You aren't better or smarter than people who have kids.

At least I'm not responsible for the suffering and eventual death of any other human beings.

Having children is morally equivalent to murder by itself (you are directly responsible for your children's future deaths, which wouldn't be possible if you hadn't caused them to be alive to start with), these days it's murder and torture.

Except for the hands (which are still losers, but small).

Horizontal gene transfer is a thing amongst bacteria, so yeah, possibly (except in no way whatsoever like a wolf dog hybrid, entirely different mechanism).

There's also ancient viruses, which are much more terrifying and probably have a better chance at having been preserved.

Contraceptives exist, as do abortives in case the first ones fail.

The only two reasons anyone would have kids as the world is going are ignorance, or a sadistic desire to watch said kids suffer. In which case the fun is certainly not consensual (or shared) on the victim's part.

No static electricity buildup, somewhat more horny rats, if I read it correctly.

When one instance enshittifies itself you can just block it.

Also, no greedy little pigboy Spez.
