Pretty sure you also had to pay royalties fees for radio/Internet radio regardless of where or not you played their music.

“how to get unauthorized or free access to audio or audiovisual content.”

In the future, public domain media will be banned for harming corporate profits.

A marketer’s pride would never let them tell the truth.

I would be very happy if advertisement all looked like this.

It can also be propaganda against something that obviously true. It can be used to gaslight people into not believing their own eyes. Like being told that Trump isn’t leading to a more hateful country and it’s only twitter memes that make him look bad.

The “you are not immune to propaganda” meme may also be propaganda depending on who and when it’s being used.

I also run a lot of ad blockers and tracking blockers as well as educate myself on how advertisers use people’s insecurities against them. The “How TV Ruined Your Life” series is a pretty comprehensive. Coercion by Douglas Rushkoff is also great for immunizing yourself.

edit: Updated with links. The core of Coercion is still relevant, but it’s tech/internet perspective was from the early 2000s.

If I ever went to my local Walmart, I’d turn them around.

If you knock them over, they’ll get fixed faster.

You can also just buy one that goes on your keychain and looks discreet. If all the TVs turn off at once, you don’t want to be looking like MrHackerman.

I would like to know how Marc Laidlaw was going to end the story. Well, we have Epistle Three, but it’s not the same as if he had stayed on board. Entropy: Zero Two is staying closer to what Marc Laidlaw’s laid out in Epistle Three then anything Alyx decided to do.

Hell, I’ve become disinterested in the Halo franchise because of the revolving door of writers constantly throwing out the previous team’s ideas. The moment new writers come in, the line between canon and fanon starts blurring.

All their games are tests for different technologies or business models. In hindsight, Gabe has never cared about the story of Half-Life. He just happened to have hired a good writer for HL1 and HL2 by accident. It’s why I’m more interested in the fanon then the canon at this point. Half-Life: Echoes and Entropy: Zero are criminally underplayed.

Can’t limit yourself to twitter, facebook and google. Hell, I think those sites are the riskier ones.

If you’re that vulnerable to shady URLs, you may want to rework your blockers or even spin up a VM. If you’re that venerable you phishing, just don’t give them your numbers.

um.si is for University of Maribor in Maribor, Slovenia. It looks legit.

Pass.

Especially if it’s anything like the story of Alyx.

edit: Apparently, not liking a fanfiction.net tier story that undoes the emotionally charged ending of the last game and brings back a character who’s voice acgtor died is a contentious opinion. Well, it’s not like new-Valve gives a shit about VAs reprising their roles. They couldn’t be bother to ask Merle Dandridge to come back in any capacity.

If Alyx required a VR headset, Half-Life 3 is gonna require that brainchip.

The only thing I think when I hear someone else’s notification is, why the fuck is it so loud and why the fuck aren’t they silencing it?
