  • Well, if your desire is seeing people breaking those chains rather than enjoyment of the collar being welded shut, I wouldn’t call it a toxic focus - quite the contrary. Personally, injustice and abuse - even taking into account the catharsis of it being overcome - angers me too much for it to be a favorite. My blood pressure is already driven high enough by real-life events without it creeping into my much needed escapism, but to each their own. :)













  • I wouldn’t say ‘easily’. I live in a country with a so-called ‘liberalized’ electricity market, and although I’m enough of a software developer to have custom scripts to pull the daily market hourly prices, I still wouldn’t call it easy to schedule around. And most people really don’t have the kind of options my expertise grants me.


  • That’s why a said static webhost, i.e. paying for the ability to serve files, not run scripts or manage the webserver configuration. Sure, the hosting provider could be made responsible for the implementation, but now they have been encumbered with the burden and liability of policing which hosted sites needs this bullshit enabled and which are just a blog about making strawberry preserves or something.

    Point is, it’s complete and utter twattery of the highest order. Never mind enforcement, I don’t even see how it would be reliably or consistently implemented.

    And all that is in any case absolutely futile, because there’s still the matter of people being perfectly able of obtaining those self-same ISO’s from any number of other sources that are even more difficult to police, like the ones I originally mentioned, and about a thousand more where they came from.
