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.

There’s this: https://github.com/iBicha/playlet
But I haven’t quite figured out how to use it yet.
Huh, I thought Teddit was dead due to the apicalypse. Glad to see it’s still kicking.
I’ve installed the Android version of Firefox on my wife’s Chromebook via the Google Play store. There’s also a way to enable Linux within ChromeOS and install the more full fledged version of FF.

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.
Their OLED panels are top notch, so don’t sleep on it. Just get a separate streaming device as the experience on Roku, Android TV and Apple TV is just miles better.
Ah, no worries, understood. Thanks!
I realize I’m late to the party, but I’d like to humbly grovel before you with a cherry on top for a copy of your list if that’s still an option.
What I don’t get is if we know about this plan, surely gymbo must know as well. So why not just call it quits? Does he like to be humiliated? Is this some sort of fetish for him?
That’s all kinds of fucked up. Poor guy.
Nice, thanks!
Irish, actually. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorin_OS
I’ll add another option that is great for people trying out Linux for the first time (though it’s great for seasoned Linux folks, too): ZorinOS. It’s based on Ubuntu LTS, but has a few beginner friendly options and features straight out of the box. Note that there is an optional “pro” version if you like to support development, but it’s completely optional.
I’d say in this case the premium is justified and worth it if you can afford it. You’re getting a top of the line, repairable & upgradeable, Linux friendly, esthetically pleasing laptop with excellent documentation, filling a void that simply wasn’t there just a few short years ago. Also, if they reach critical mass and adoption, prices might come down.
After dragging my feet for years I finally moved back to Firefox a few weeks ago. Sure, there’s a few features I miss from Chrome/Edge (vertical tabs, PWA support, tab groups, etc.) but I was able to ‘fix’ many issues with extensions and a custom userchrome.css, and trust is ultimately more important to me.
I’m thankful there are still free, open, privacy respecting options out there.
Well said, fartsparkles
Perhaps you moved from Europe to the States in the interim like I did.
Edit to add: sorry if this came off as snarky, was not my intention. Just wanted to point out that it’s not always so clear-cut. I created my Reddit account in 2008 when I lived in the Netherlands. Then I moved to the US in 2016 and became a citizen in 2019.
