Usually it is? But ultimately it’s still your own responsibility. You did not pay the dev, the dev does not ask you to pay them, ergo the dev owes you diddly squad.

Malware is not usually open source.
I disagree, in neither scenario the open source dev owes him anything. You get to use and modify the software for free, but the flip side is you are entitled to nothing.
If you’re on Android and use Firefox, you can use the Disable JavaScript extension to disable JS on sites with paywalls, like NYtimes. While not perfect, it works remarkably well.
Also works great on Desktop.
Agreed, it’s clearly meant as a joke.
Yep, dat werkte, dank! Maf dat dat niet standaard is.
Much appreciated Bucky, I’ll give that a shot and will report back.
Edit: worked like a charm!
Potentially related, not sure: does anyone know how I can get touchscreen scrolling working in Firefox on a fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install? Currently it’s just selecting text and it’s driving me up the proverbial wall. Googling was unsuccessful.
RIP Unofficial NYTimes paywall bypass by disabling JavaScript :(
I’d like to subscribe to horse facts, please.
Well said, fartsparkles

Same here. No longer on Reddit every day since I deleted Relay from my phone. But I do still tack “Reddit” at the end of my searches since it makes my searches much, much more useful.
Found this open source, docker based, self hosted app for editing PDFs a few months ago. Works well enough for basic operations the last time I tried it (though not sure if it can delete columns from tables): https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF
Figured I’d post the link here in case it helps you or anyone else.
Jesus, that is beyond awful. I’m really sorry she had to go through so much bullshit and I’m really glad she’s speaking up.
On the one hand I agree, it’s not just the OS that’s replaced, it’s also the programs that run on it (unless they use cloud based apps, of course).
On the other hand, the Germany example you mentioned was 15 or so years ago. I imagine Linux has matured a lot since then.
Would Jan Lul be relevant to this discussion?
Regulate Big Tech and be done with it.
Alrighty then
