@jrod3737 Same, I was sad reference [43] was behind this very strong paywall. I couldn't also digg into this part because of that.

@davidrevoy @jrod3737 Put it into 12ft.io, I just tried it and it works to get around the paywall

@xpac @davidrevoy @jrod3737 since I've been seeing archive.is/ph a lot lately: would you happen to know why it's booming so much? All I have are bad experiences, if you've set up an even slightly private browser config you get stuck in an endless cloudflare loop almost every time.

@groxx @davidrevoy @jrod3737 well, because it works? (for me). archive.org only had the paywalled version, archive.is had the readable one, and that's pretty much all I looked for :)

@xpac @davidrevoy @jrod3737 aaah, saving through paywalls would explain a lot of it, yeah. Thanks! Hard to notice stuff like that when it won't even load.

that site’s totally broken for me—it just endlessly redirects to captcha

@tkinias @xpac @davidrevoy @jrod3737 anyway I felt pretty sad and disgusted when I first discovered this. Why couldn't somebody who discovers something amazing just be a non-shitty person?

yeah, agreed—there seems to be something very toxic in how we treat ‘genius’ men that encourages this kind of shittiness

As I’ve grown older I’ve come to understand people as universally flawed. It’s a matter of degree that makes someone heroic or villainous. Everyone has the stench of being fully human and chock full of mistakes and ugly bits.
But the ones who abuse others, most especially the vulnerable - those are the ones deserving a full account without the airbrush of nostalgia or grace.

A few weeks back, it was affecting Firefox, but not Chrome.

You can access most paywalled material if you have a library card.

Mine uses PressReader.

Until you pass the paywall, consider he is a pedophile and he is not a pedophile

@davidrevoy @jrod3737 Putting that Irish Times article URL into 12ft.io/ worked for me!

@Bibobu Yes, an edit that happened after I published this post. ( src: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?t ) and it is a good thing. Thanks to the Wikipedian user who did this update and probably keep an eye on the comments here! 💜

(also, yay, French page mention it fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Sc )
