I tried this with both Lynx and Links, and they both work just as well.
So new life hack: You can probably read any paywalled article with a text-based browser, probably because they don't do scripts at all.
EDIT: If you prefer a GUI browser, @dillo has you covered (thanks to @nprofile…jla5 for the tip!)

It's about time Friend Computer declared a War on War.

Why do you spell 'ðe' with a þ?

A little while ago I gave a presentation on AI at my job, where I explained in detail exactly why it's useless. A manager who has a sentiment similar to yours asked how I would respond to "But we can't be left behind!" I managed to quip "It's perfectly fine to be left behind when everybody else is running towards a cliff".

My friend and my guy, you seem to have interpreted my words exactly opposite my intent.
I agree with you. You and I both know that emulation is entirely orthogonal to playing games illegally.
But my experience is that when people use the term emulation, they *more often than not* mean playing games illegally. My quoot was a joke about how often a technical term is misapplied, that's all.

I've seen them. People who declare "NSO is bullshit so I'm going to emulate instead" (exact quote) and when somebody point out that NSO is emulation, make out that the person using the technical definition is wrong.
Or check out this video from Stephanie Sterling, who consistently uses "emulation" to mean "playing games illegally", and their entire comment section do the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXOA7BAgcY4

@nprofile…le0y It's also the definition most gamers use (but you don't👍 ). This leads to a whole lot of equivocation an mottes-and-baileys, which is where the confusion arises becaus worsd are ultimately defined by how people use them.

Emulation (n): The act of playing an illegally-obtained copy of a game, regardless of whether a computer has to pretend to be a different computer to do so.
Downloading a rom and playing it on an emulator is emulation.
Downloading a rom and playing it on original hardware using a flashcart is emulation.
Legally buying a rom and playing it with the distributor's official emulator is not emulation.
In short, emulation is a synonym for piracy. If it's legal, it is by definition not emulation.

@nprofile…fvsc @nprofile…998y I work on an assembly line and I've recently been doing a course where I have to interact with office workers. They talk a lot about how all managers start on the line and work their way up, but there really seems to be a process of inculturation whereby people lose sight of the trees for the forest.

@nprofile…m9qs The phrase "illegal mutants" implies the existence of legal mutants.

@nprofile…m9qs Are mutants considered humans?

I love how ruling us with an iron fist doesn't stop Friend Computer from pulling fun pranks on us. In particular, the way Friend Computer spent 20 years telling us we were at war with Eurasia, and had always been at war with Eurasia, to the point that some people even believed it! And Friend Computer even had us round up and arrest people who insisted that Friend Computer had recently said we were at war with Eastasia! Gosh, such dedication to a joke is inspiring!

Mastering knapping actually reshapes the brain slightly. This seems to have influenced our evolution.
