Welcome to the Corporate Internet.

Get ready to play by Their Rules on Their Services.

Good thing a lot of them are useless fucking Dinosaurs like CNN that need to die anyway.

Not today.

Not.

Today.

That’s why places like Lemmy and Mastodon are nice, even if big corpo buys up some instances, there’s still the option to just start free ones elsewhere.

Please dont post pictures of text without transcribing the text.

KillingTimeItself,

intrigued by the fact that this is hated so much. It’s a courteous ask, and something you probably should be doing. Especially if you can just copy and paste the majority of it.

I try to do it when possible.

My bad, I’m still new to this. Someone else kindly did below, no offense meant.

Please update the post with the transcript, add a link to the source page where the text appears, dont do this again, and let others know.

Let’s maintain the quality of this comm.

You think you are providing quality by making people jump through hoops for you? :)

Waraugh,

My only reference point is that I found out my blind grandpa is on here a few months back. Maybe they are trying to influence behavior that supports that level of software integration for blind visitors and have trouble communicating in a socially acceptable way.

Yeah. If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that will be great. And uh, I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Mmmm, Ok?

jaybone,

Yeeeeeeeeeeeahhh see it’s just that we’re putting new cover sheets on the TPS reports…

Weird, I don’t have this. Also installing the Bypass Paywall extension might help if it comes up.

Thanks for the tip but I’m good. I’m not going to waste more energy fighting to read whatever CNN has to say if they take such issue with my “browser configuration”.

BlanK0, in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

Lmao, “required componentes to protect your privacy” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You see what they’re actually doing there?

“We are by law forced to give you the option to view our ads and accept our tracking, because of privacy legislation in your region. Since you are hindering us from doing so, you can’t come to the birthday party”.

Ok, thank you EU, I suppose! :)

grue,

Pretty sure CNN is (willfully) misinterpreting the law. The EU is definitely not prohibiting them from just turning off the tracking without providing a choice.

Oh no! Anyway…

Can’t say I’ve noticed myself with FreeTube to be honest, local API, I’ve been using it for years now and it’s probably as good as it’s ever been. The fallback for me if it ever doesn’t work is yt-dlp.

dan42O, in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

Another innovative way to loose readers. Btw I mean no way to utilize CNN in any type of medium is helpful. But some would disagree.

pineapplelover, in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

Looks fine on my end. On firefox with ubo

Good think I don’t use chrome.

mathiouchio,

Great minds thing alike.

montar, in Invidious dragging to a halt

I’ve just finished 50 minute podcast via piped, worked just fine, recommend you to use some obscure instance and it works great.

1984, in This is how I KNOW it works as intended
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

CNN fucks. :)

roscoe, in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

Turning off Java script worked when this happened to me. Firefox and ublock origin. It breaks some things but you can do it on a per site basis.

No problems with the inbuild adblocker in Vivaldi, not even in YouTube (without any ads for me), problems only for Chromiums in which are remaining control and tracking APIs from Google and which are only can use “descaffeinated” Adblockers from the Chrome Store. I can use even direct userscripts in Vivaldi if needed, without the need of Tamper-, Greasy- or Violentmonkey extensions. Vivaldi is a Chromium browser, but Google for the past 9 years has hit its teeth on a rock in attempts to control it.

cashews_best_nut, (edited )

I was a Vivaldi user, like you, until I used Floorp and now I’m a crack addict.

Zerush,
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Floorp is a nice Browser. Apart of Vivaldi, I use also the Mullvad Browser and the SSuite Netsurf for some tasks, before I also had the Midory Browser (almost identical to Floorp) and almost all others which are exist or existed in the past. But Vivaldi remain my main browser since 8 years.

No issues with Freetube here either, never had any either. Running most things on defaults.

homesweethomeMrL, in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

CNN Management: I’m worried that since our purchase by a right-wing nut job and our spectacular idiot explosion of the last CEO, that we’re still in danger of being considered a valid corporate news outlet. What can we do?

CNN Schmuck: We could force mandatory tracking and ads on all website visitors.

CNN Management: Brilliant!
