Many of them have regular, American-sounding names. Like "Jake Sulley"

Just returned from Pandora.
Wow you can tell AI was involved given the fact 4 out of the 6 women were probably generated using NSFW data...Yikes, a lot of those generated images look similar to the ones that I find YouTube Phishing bots using repeatedly. I don't understand how people can't immediately tell these are GenAI profiles when looking through them. The language is too similar, feels off to me at least. Makes my brain itch.
Paywall (even with uBlock).
uBlock blocks ads. It does not make visible what isn't transferred.
This, however, does (the article, stripped of its paywall)
Actually, it does more than just block ads. Most pages which are behind a paywall can still be accessed if you disable Javascript. Disabling Javascript is one of uBlock's features.
Obviously, some administrators have found ways to block content behind a paywall without just using Javascript.
Archived articles are awkward to read on mobile, so I don't usually use that unless I really, really want to read something.
I've been running NoScript for ages, so for me, any JS source not explicitly whitelisted is disabled by default. I have yet to encounter a single modern paywall that can be circumvented by this. Care to share where this still works?
You're right about the scaling issues with mobile.
I thought noscript had some controversy around it and everyone switched to uMatrix?
None that I'm aware of. Feel free to broaden my horizons, though!
The article from this thread.
Awww, is the New York Times pretending to be a real news outlet? Isn't that darling. Wait, stop humping Israel's leg. Wait no, gross dude. Go to hell.
