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.
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.

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.
RIP Unofficial NYTimes paywall bypass by disabling JavaScript :(
I’d like to subscribe to horse facts, please.
FWIW: There’s a way to unblock YouTube via uBlock Origin as described in this post: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/6089078
Just in case you or anyone seeing this might find this helpful.
I think you look fine. To me it looks like you made an effort which already puts you ahead of the curve. Best of luck at the interview, let us know how it goes!
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.
I think I had that one as well. With the fireworks and everything? Yikes dawg…
