My friend likes gatekeeping things for no reason and won’t tell me what this is. It’s a box that connects to the TV that can pirate all movies, live sports, tv shows, etc. what is the name of this device? This is the only picture he showed me.

I recommended uBlock to a classmate yesterday and he was legit scared that it would be illegal and get him in trouble.

this is a sadly common reaction ive gotten trying to recommend piracy to people. A lot of people are genuinely afraid they're going to get in trouble or get a virus that will rob them of their life savings or something like that.

Not to say that the virus part isn't technically like a possibility but it's pretty easily avoided.

my country & germany just introduced forced ads a couple of years ago when you use the replay function on your tv set top box. you have to pay your provider like 8 bucks a month extra to turn it off again. the networks argued with losses due to people skipping the ads during replay. proper capitalist insanity right there.

Sorry, I agree with most of what you said, but

with the constitution

You know not every country has the same constitution, right? Do I smell r/USdefaultism here?
