You will go straight to jail 😡😡😡
Doesn’t NYT cut off most of the article now? I used to just be able to disable JS but that didn’t work anymore last I checked.
Yeah the article stub doesn’t link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don’t have a session.
It’s incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.
In this very particular situation I’m glad most companies are lazy and stupid.
I don’t particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don’t make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.
I just use Bypass Paywalls Clean, or failing that, archive.vn.
I always break the ctrl key right off my keyboard when I get a new computer so I don’t accidentally do this.
“Append…before”, AKA “prepend”!
Thank you for the great advice. We should share this to a maximum of people. We don’t want people to get in trouble for violating copyright especially when done accidentally.
Firefox Immersive Reader button
Huh. I just Ctrl+P before the paywall comes up. Then I can print to a PDF and view it the way it was meant to be.
That’s exactly what the 3rd post said.
not NOT use firefox’ reading mode.
One person downvoted? Are they stupid or something? Asking for a friend.
Sometimes I’m scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.
It’s the only explanation that makes sense
If a website sends all the data of an article to you, it’s yours. They can’t take it away. There’s no basis to make the argument anything is owed to the website at that point.
Definitely don’t install the bypass paywalls clean extension or script so you don’t have to take a single manual action to get around them. That would be extremely contraversial!
Will someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!
For poorly paywalled sites, just hit F9. Displays screen reader text. Accessibility, y’all.
Definitely don’t use uBlock Origin’s zapper mode to get rid of elements on the page that are blocking your view.
I have been using inspect element to manually remove ads and other annoying things
Thanks for reminding me!
^ This person adblocks
cocks the element zapper Say hello to my little friend!
I’ve used ublock for years and only recently discovered the zapper and it’s my new favorite thing on the internet
I don’t generally use it, but safari got this baked in recently
I often forget YouTube shorts are a thing because i zapped them away.
Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.
