Eldergay brethren, this is how you get past paywalls

Timely bump

It worked! Thank you young person!

It works with some links. Not all of them.

Can you also explain how to use that damn Versateller?

There's also 12 foot ladder.

But how do I get free soup?

I got into the Strategic Air Command!!!!!

I actually just go to the webpage in my regular browser (Safari on macOS) and then click "View in Reader" which is part of the browser. It'll then give me the article I want without issues.

OP, I will never remember those instructions.

R9, bookmark this post.

If archive.ph isn't available, archive.is works too.

R10 thank you! I have saved this thread!

I've been using archive.ph since the first post and it works fantastically well. Thanks OP!

Cheap whores rejoice! Thank you OP.

Thanks for the community service OP! Very much needed thread.

I was thinking of doing one about posting image links.

Oh Youngay Brethren, Can you help me with Spotify?? I hit the + to add it to my deal & then dont see it anywhere in my feed...... Then trying to link to the Sonos??? I feel like my 83 year old mother when she calls me asking why the printer "just wont print, I need a new printer".

[quote] A nationwide network of community outreach centers, once a fixture of the party’s efforts to attract minority voters, will be shuttered or refocused on get-out-the-vote efforts.

How much do I need to pay? I can I do this with an auto-withdraw?

I can go to an archiv.ph page where someone else has already posted an article, but neither of my devices will let me go to the basic page.

Security concerns. Have turned off the ad-blocker and tried going incognito...no luck.

R15 I'm tech support for my mum who's in her 70s. She can use her phone and iPad for most things but she'll often find certain aspects of it too hard to use and will constantly ask me the same questions. I feel your pain...

Some useful information in this thread.

R18 here, I can't even use archive.org to access an old Washington Post article.

Fuck.

Can someone explain how to make giphy links work again? I miss them.

Go to GitHub and download Bypass Paywalls. Add to Chrome in Windows or Kiwi browser in Android.

If you have a Mac or iPhone, reconsider your shitty life choices.

Here's the link to bypass paywalls.

OP, do you happen to know how to bypass state restrictions on a website?

99% of the shit posted doesn't deserve any effort. If I click on the link and can't read it, I'm out. The wit level must be extremely high to exert any real effort.

^ Seriously? You're so offended by a paywall that you won't read it instead of archiving it?

Didn't you ever sneak into a movie?

r27 Who on earth said I was offended? Lazy and unmotivated would be more accurate.

r25, you need a VPN. I recommend private internet access.

You could also try this free, open source vpn.

Archive.ph is dead. Any idea how to get around that? Other similar sites?

What happens if we get caught?

How can people in Texas access PornHub and XHamster now?

If you use Firefox it has an extension that you can add

R34, I only use Firefox for my porn sites. Which extension lets me view OFs for free?

R34 r35

Thanks, OP!

How do you “copy” something?

You click on the address and hit copy.

What's the Firefox extension?

What is a Firefox? Will it bite me?

Timely bump.

12ftladder is no more. I was able to read quite a few articles before the creator shut it down.

Reader only lets me read part of an article sometimes.

R31, archive . ph is not dead.

I use it specifically to get around the NYT (who I can't stand these days) and the Wall Street Journal (whom I've always hated). Suck it, Wall Street Journal!

The only time .oh does it work for me is when an article is fairly new.

will it work on my typewriter?

r45 witty

Or pay for the content like an actual adult who wants reporting and writing better than clickbait trash to stick around.

Not everyone can afford it,. Subscription should be a encouraged for those who do, and subscription is not the only source of revenue. The social platforms and ads chip in.

Friendly bump

It's not just eldergays who need guidance.

The younger generations seem unable to master the obscure tool called "Google" so will come to the DL and ask a question that they could easily and already have asked and answered by typing the same question into "Google". Or they'll type "I'm too lazy to look it up" by which time they could have looked it up with fewer key strokes.

Why is this? Do you need an audience? If a millennial entered a question into Google in the woods, did it happen?

Your overthinking this says a lot, r51.

Thanks R52 - your response makes absolutely no sense, which says everything.

It wouldn't make sense to people who don't know how to write to a target audience, but I can write you a post on how to do that if you need it. 😘❤️

All good R54!

Thank you OP, I was just thinking about this the other day. I was meaning to ask someone who posted a link but then I forgot all about it. I have taken a screenshot of the instructions.
