Unless it’s jump humping.

Boot up from a live cd and go nuts.

not that Netflix has commercials

There’s a tier with commercials for many countries now.

It’s like the Mr. Garrison’s dildo mono-wheel “it” vehicle, it’s fucking you in the ass!

My first script ever was written in lua for a world of warcraft macro to spit out chuck norris one liners. People in the barrens hated me.

Here’s my last one, I’m pretty fucking boring:

and a private telecommunications company can read absolutely all your digital communication

Well maybe. It’s one of the reasons e2e encryption is so imperative to online privacy. For instance, turning on https everywhere, then your isp can only see which servers you’re connecting to, not what’s in your traffic to them.

And to point it out up front, yeah the distant end’s servers likely have some for of that traffic captured, but now law enforcement has to dig up every company that they’re trying to pull info from. Which is significantly more difficult than just relying on a one stop shop arrangement.

And for the best privacy, like security, a multi-layered approach is better. So throw in a VPN, throw in something like a mullvad browser, throw in pseudonymous accounts, throw in different usernames + passwords across accounts, throw in…

What physical media do they have available?

Back when netflix first started, I subscribed to the 4 dvd plan. I’d rip and burn a copy of every movie that came through the house (if we liked it, that is). I was one of the few friends that had a DVD-R drive, and would make copies on request.

I still have an old case logic disk book completely filled with burnt dvds. I just built my first computer that doesn’t have a removable-disk drive, and with that, I no longer have any way to play dvds/blu-rays. Not one disc player in the whole house.

So then fix it and then share the fix.

It exists, it’s called a robots.txt file that the developers can put into place, and then bots like the webarchive crawler will ignore the content.

And therein lies the issue: if you place a robots.txt out for the content, all bots will ignore the content, including search engine indexers.

So huge publishers want it both ways, they want to be indexed, but they don’t want the content to be archived.

If the NYT is serious about not wanting to have their content on the webarchive but still want humans to see it, the solution is simple: Put that content behind a login! But the NYT doesn’t want to do that, since then they’ll lose out on the ad revenue of having regular people load their website.

I think in the case of the article here though, the motivation is a bit more nefarious, in that the NYT et al simply don’t want to be held accountable. So there’s a choice to be had for them, either retain the privilege of being regarded as serious journalism, or act like a bunch of hacks that can’t be relied upon.
