False. Kicking out the shitty minority in order to attract more paying customers means making more money.

You really can't figure that out?

They are dying for lack of customers.

I did and I do. The theaters can all die. They take up a lot of space in exchange for producing a few paltry minimum wage jobs and don't give a fuck about making the experience enjoyable for people who like to concentrate on things.

Yes, you can. I regularly use a webapp where most links are driven with javascript, and the back button works fine both on links where they are and those where they aren't. This is kind of amazing given the general incompetence of the web app in question, like how actually doing that will at times lead to the creation of duplicate data because they apparently don't track whether forms have been used already. But that's not because they don't use cookies, because they do. It's just made by Accenture and they are generally fuckups.

Yes, if you encode the session ID in the URL there is a risk of leakage, but you don't have to do it that way. It's just an option, which I mentioned because it exists.

Want to tell me you can't do anything else I see working all day every work day?

...it's not and you're making shit up

Right back at you, white and fragile snowflake.

The evangelicals are louder and more offensive, and some Christians belong to sects which are accepting of people who are not straight laced and heteronormative, but they are not representative either as they are also in the minority. For every Unitarian there's dozens of Baptists.

You heard "white people did bad things" and decided they were saying you're evil because you want to do those same things.

Ask your mom if you can have a little more internet time today and I'll explain to you that the term was used for television before there were cars that reflashed themselves from a cellular connection.

I know someone who really loved Mini-Disc. He made his own TOSLINK cable from the normal jack to a mini jack because he couldn't find the cable in the store. But then MP3 came out with none of the stupid restrictions that Sony placed on it because Sony is also a big copyright asshole.

Well, that's at least better than my LG TV. Sometimes it refuses to listen to the off button on the remote. The remote is working fine and the batteries are good, it just won't turn off from that. If I turn it off from the power button - and there is only one button on this TV so that means long pressing the fucker - then I can turn it back on from the remote just fine.

TBF this unit has never been firmware updated, but it's equally fair to point out that this generation of television has received firmware updates that make it even shittier, so it never will be as long as I own it. We had a story here about how LG has leaned into covering every surface with ads.

They'd also have to kick out phone fuckers and people who won't shut the fuck up ("why did he do that?") and also actually adjust the volume to avoid both distortion and blowing out people's eardrums. The last couple times I went to movies in normal theaters they failed at both things.

Crypto grifters DGAF about keeping promises or the law, and grifters gonna grift.

Yeah, it's still the DOD, but the order about this named it as the DoW so I thought I'd emphasize that. Guess I should have called it out directly.

Only idiots spy in person. They either pay for an insider or do all monitoring remotely. When was the last time an actual foreign agent was caught in a base? Now look at the number of times they've used USB keys to import malware, used cash to pay off insiders, or used remote sensing technology like microphones capable of analysing vibrations in windows, or other tracking devices.

I'm looking at where spies are caught. And they are never caught trying to be janitors on bases. If they're caught at all, then it's because the people they bribed to do all the inside work were themselves caught.

You have to go by the evidence and the evidence doesn't suggest infiltration.

Regulation in the modern US is not about a level playing field, it is about corrupt businesses and corrupt officials using regulations as an excuse to persecute competitors.

Look, it's obvious that this will cause an absolute flurry of lawsuits so deep that it will become the new record holder for the world's tallest mountain.

I don't think anyone seriously doubts that.

However, if enough geeks and nerds back up enough of the films each, it could become another DeCSS John/Beowulf moment, where the status quo (who aren't currently in this collection) is untenable and a new dynamic is forced on the industry. It's blatantly obvious the industry intends to be stupid and naive, and learn only through pain, misery, and suffering on all sides, but we can at least TRY to reduce the trauma as much as we can on our side of the equation.

That's OK, a user might have to occasionally log in a little more. It's a small price to pay to prevent ubiquitous tracking.
