Lemmy: how do you feel about people taking the most popular posts from reddit and reposting them as new stuff?
I’m really hoping we can come up with more original questions on Lemmy. This is what I hated about AskReddit the most.
Television too if you don’t mind. (Commercials)
Why on earth would anyone oppose this? The only people who gain are companies who are ok with distracting you so that you pay attention to their commercial.
I think the challenge would be to come up with the definition of “siren”- or “car horn”-sound. While some are obvious, there are a ton of songs that feature air horns, sirens or other light disturbing noises. Would it have to match a spectrogram of siren noises to be illegal? Does the decibel gauge the legality?
I think there is a ton that’s going to fall within the gray area, and it will ensue a lot of lawsuits.
Not that I disagree that it should be illegal, but I think the law would be complicated to define.
It is my god given right as a free American to have a heart attack because I heard a loud honk, die at the wheel, take out a family in a minivan, careen off a cliff, and land through the roof of the Walmart off the interstate.
I’d love that. Can’t count the number of times I’ve frantically scanned my rear view to see if I need to make room for an emergency vehicle and it’s just a sound effect.
I don’t see how this is any different. Adverts in audio form are an abomination and intolerable. The absence of adverts from the BBC is and always will be it’s unique selling point. Spotify has begun trying the patience of its userbase lately by targeting adverts and that’s a mistake.
