You don’t need an entire VPN just to block ads. I use RethinkDNS on Android and it blocks ads in most apps.

If they can prove you got a bunch of gold with a loan and then your descendants suddenly have a bunch of gold, but they can’t prove it’s the same gold, is that enough to make the descendants pay back the loan?
What if you did it with Monero to make it impossible to prove it’s the same money?
Oh ok :(
As it is now, only people who read about it or live there and try to find the song will ever even know about the block. If Google refused and was kicked out of Hong Kong, just about every single citizen would notice and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom. I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.
Yeah, but that doesn’t work well on 1440p because it doesn’t scale perfectly.
I had a 1440p monitor and “downgraded” back to 1080p when it broke because I could barely tell the difference when gaming and I get a significantly higher framerate in most games at 1080p, which does make a big difference for me.
I don’t think it was very well-known in 2014. Besides, “everyone should know that this is a scam” isn’t a reason to make scams legal.
Those are both solutions that only work sometimes and for the former, you have no way of knowing if it worked unless you actually listen to the result. Having to download the podcast twice is also rather undesirable.
Detecting the ads directly would be hard. The real way to do this would be to mark segments of *non-*advertisement and then send the information necessary to identify them to the client so that it can scan through the downloaded audio file and remove anything that shouldn’t be there. The algorithm would still be pretty complicated, but feasible.
There may be a time in the future when the entire internet as it is now could fit on whatever people have instead of cell phones in a few hundred years.

NIMBY applies to stuff like urban housing development and certain kinds of healthcare clinics. Not wanting loud-ass fucking trains rolling through 24/7 is perfectly reasonable. Too many people don’t care enough about noise pollution.
W take. I have no problem with my public comments being used as training data for AI as long as they’re public. I just don’t want some shitty private company to hoard them like they fucking own them when they don’t.
You can bet your ass they paid a lot of money to get their malware on your computer. It should be illegal to load consumer hardware with 3rd party bloatware that can’t be removed.
