I just use Bypass Paywalls Clean, or failing that, archive.vn.

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."

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] yamanii 2 points 8 hours ago

Lol same, keep wishing I could've a text to speech on PC just like the mobile version... And it's actually there.

Thank you so much! I already did it! (Smash Ctrl+P as fast as possible)

feds coming fo yo ass now you better run

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.

Will someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!

One person downvoted? Are they stupid or something? Asking for a friend.

[–] SirSamuel 4 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] foggy 4 points 10 hours ago

For poorly paywalled sites, just hit F9. Displays screen reader text. Accessibility, y'all.

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

[–] daggermoon 2 points 9 hours ago

Just use this. Ignore the Russian it's safe.

[–] spicytuna62 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] yamanii 3 points 8 hours ago

That's exactly what the 3rd post said.
