And God forbid if someone uses archiving sites like archive.is!

Truly awful. How will the news megacorp get its money? You wouldn't steal the information required for you to be aware of world events? Right?

If you just want to be aware, you could often read the headlines for free or follow news sites like Reuters, AFP, or AP.

They are primarily wire news companies and are a great way to get reliable, truthful and often free news. If you want to read longer articles, you should pay if you want to have articles to read in the future.

"Append...before", AKA "prepend"!

Back during prohibition in the US, there was a product called Vine-Glo that was a brick of grape concentrate. It came with a warning: "After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine."

I just hope nobody clicks the reader view button in the top right, it would be just terrible if they got an ad free, paywall free version of the site

Click reader view and refresh, without leaving reader view.

I do that a lot on my phone but keep forgetting it's a thing on desktop for some reason.

we all need to consider, it costs money to fund quality journalism. we have to be aware of the many forces working against basic silly journalism, like what's happening at the school board.

Brave browser has a filter to bypass paywalls. Works on desktop and mobile versions. Definitely works on NYT as I just read something there today. And of course has built in adblock. You can also add additional filters and adblock lists.

Bonus: print to PDF in Brave to share an article with someone else. It retains all the graphics relevant to the article and cuts all the junk and ads out too.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

there's no new big wall of information from the NY Times. ask them, what's the scoop? my opinion, take a moment. wtf are you doing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

brave has a filter you can add to auto-bypass paywalls already right there to be selected after install

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Came to say this. And they make mobile browsers. If I want to share a paywalled article with someone I just load it up in brave and print it to PDF then send them that. Works every time!

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.
