Dracula Daily has ended today...and I enjoyed it very much!
Some memes were on twitter initially, but mostly it was a thing on tumblr in the #dracula daily tag. Throughout all of it. (You can look through it without an account if you have something like the behind the overlay browser extension)
- Why can't I view Twitter without an account.

Peak hacker ability unlocked

To continue reading a single Nat Geo article more than halfway, you need to sign up for promotional emails from Disney
Behind the Overlay does all this automatically. Much faster and easier than having to hunt down all the specific elements that disable functionality.
- Guys, i feel like i'm being tracked but I can't figure out how.

Want to use incognito to search about a sensitive topic? Fuck you, pay up
There's also another extension called Behind the Overlay that will kill annoying overlays and make the page functional again. For example, if you browse Instagram without being logged in, after scrolling far enough, an overlay will pop up requiring you to log in. Just disabling the overlay through developer tools won't bring functionality back; you won't be able to click on anything or scroll. But BTO will do that. Just click the button or use the keyboard shortcut.

Chrome's next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
So, for most of the history of advertising, you didn't have a choice. Advertising was a part of someone else's property that would ambush[0] you before you could even ignore it. Internet advertising is an outlier in that it happens on your property. You ask for a web page, the web site sends back the page with a bunch of JavaScript that tries to run an ad auction on your computer, then your browser extensions delete the JavaScript, then another bit of JavaScript sent by the web site detects this and deletes the content, except no because your extension also defeated the antitamper script, except no because the web site legally threatened your ad blocker with billions of dollars in litigation for breaking the "don't rip DVDs" law.
I'm not kidding about that, BTW[1][2][3]. There is a silent and ongoing effort by everyone - including ad companies - to appropriate your physical property with their intellectual property[4]. You see, on the totem pole of capitalist legitimacy, physical ownership is actually really weak. There's all sorts of government-granted monopolies that can be traded like property[5], but let you bulldoze lesser ownership over physical objects. You might own your computer, but I own the content, so I own your computer for as long as my content is somewhere on it.
Talking about fundamental rights is interesting. Right now, at least in the US, people have a fundamental right to advertise - it's called the 1st Amendment. We can't even have functional campaign contribution laws because SCOTUS demands that billionaires have a god-given right to spend their billions shouting over everyone else in campaign ads. Several other fundamental rights mean you have the right to ignore shouty ads, but you don't have the right to shut the advertisers up. Likewise, the right to refuse ad exposure online is implied by the fact that the website runs on your computer. But other rights - such as the right to control copies of your speech - can negate that same implication.
Anyway, this is why I think we should bring back the Boston Strangler[6]. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

[5] I'm afraid to call them property because if I do that means the Takings clause applies and we can't ever roll back the life+70 insanity that Berne, Germany, and the EU foisted on us.
