Is your comment in the thread about Wikipedia banning archive.today?

edit: I realised by reading other comments that many used archive.today to bypass paywalls, aside from the archival purpose Wikipedia relied on.

You provided links to the Web Archive and to GhostArchive, but not to archive.today

I am curious: is this after you have learned of Wikipedia’s decision to ditch it, since it’s been proven to alter the content of the archived pages?

I do whatever I want regardless. That you go out of your way to defend the multi-billion company from copyright theft is pointless, when nowadays agents like Meta have been reported stealing millions of copyrighted materials and nothing happened.

You were right in your first comment, but this is plainly false. Not pirating, mind, but making copies of what you already own is legal, at least in US and most of Europe.

I am also on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but using Flatpak Firefox.
Perhaps you can try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if it chinges anyting.

Is uBlock Origin working for you specifically, enabling it alone with no other add-on?

Are you using other add-ons?

uBlock origin is the same code on mine or yours machine. It does not need a graphics card, nor uses some particular instuctions of the CPU.
On Firefox Stable on Flathub at the time of writing, with default settings and default lists, it will work as expected on Youtube.

uBlock Origin on Firefox with default settings and filterlists still works successfully on Youtube.

I signed up to Ars 9 years ago. It is painful to transparently witness the decay.

That should be reserved to life-and-death emergencies.

Well, they are going to see how many will keep their subscription then.

The whole purpose of a news reporter is kind of to get their news right.
If they can’t do that, their service is worthless.

It used to be respectable ten years ago, back when it had a .co.uk website too.

You will never see that implemented. You should be thankful you even have a pause button.

They were accessed through the API.

i assumed the commuting to be done via public transport, but yes, you should not give one minute outside of working hours to the soulless company. I don’t know what these engineers are thinking, digging their way in the future when they’ll be made redundant.

Yeah, I wonder about this often: the product is finished; aside from curation, what else does it need?

the game made by a small team ends up being much more successful

More successfull relatively to the money spent, but not overall.
