The dark web stole my (copyrighted) identity

Damn, had zero interest before but now I’m gonna go out of my way to actually buy his game

I once mentioned “the joys of torrenting” to a friend and they immediately assumed piracy. I mean he wasn’t wrong, but the lack of love for more standard use of P2P is saddening.

The fewer pixels this gets the funnier it becomes

And then in their appeal, they decided it was a good idea to insult the mods.

Great job OP, really making yourself seem like an adult with that one.

Man and I thought linux users were supposed to be technical smh my head.

Websites that want you to login rarely even do that anymore. Normally they just send the sample until you login. This post has to be at least 5 years old.

This advice is ancient, and rarely works anymore.

Many websites now don’t even load the full content of the page before a person is logged in. So getting rid of the overlay only makes the last line of the first paragraph slightly more visible, before the page abruptly ends. NYT in particular has really cracked down on workarounds in the past couple of years.

The only consistent workaround I’ve found is using the internet archive websites (archive.fo, archive.to, etc). If nobody else has archived that page though, you’re looking at a good number of minutes before you can look at it while it archives.

It does’ however, have the somewhat hilarious and unexpected side effect of allowing you to bypass your company’s site blacklist in order to access read-only versions of, for example, old reddit discussions about a specific problem you’re having that stack overflow was patently useless for.

Always good advice, but some websites need a little more… “persuading”
