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.

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.

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

Just returned from Pandora.

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)

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

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.
