President Donald Trump’s blitz of executive actions align with many of the ideas promoted in a conservative policy blueprint he once distanced himself from.
Can we normalize summaries on articles from websites that have 2+ full screen pop-ups asking you to subscribe to their paper, newsletter, or accept their privacy invasive cookies or whatever stupid shit I just had to navigate through to read that
The article is basically saying “trump lied about not knowing about project 2025, Here’s a few things that line up with it.” and it points out shit we already knew like immigration and “dei”.
On desktop, right-click plus Inspect is another friend to get past some of these overlays which block the visible content. Pick a location on a page overlay which might seem like the top left of the overlay.
On Chromium-based browsers you will be brought to the Elements area of Developer Tools. On Firefox-based browsers you will be brought to the Inspector area of Developer Tools.
While the Elements or Inspector area has focus, you can delete a selected HTML element by pressing the Delete key on your keyboard. If you delete the wrong thing, if that Elements or Inspector area still has focus, press Ctrl + z to undo the deletion.
Sometimes you have to Inspect, Delete, find a new area on the page, Inspect, Delete, and do so a few times until you find the correct HTML element to delete or because there may be multiple modal overlays to delete.
If you really mess up the page, just reload the webpage.
When you are done, press the X at the top right of the unnamed Developer Tools area to close Developer Tools or press F12 on your keyboard to close Developer Tools.
I also feel summaries could be useful, but since some original posts on Lemmy just consist of a link with sometimes only a very brief summary, you now have some additional ways to get past some of the junk.
I think it is worth noting Bloomberg says “By accepting, you agree to our updated Terms of Service, including… sharing information about your use of Bloomberg com with third parties.” The archive website can help with reducing this tracking. If a website decides to block archiving in the future, you can probably already assume the tracking on that website could end up being quite intrusive.
I mean I use ublock origin on desktop and mobile so I could add manual blocks for all these things but… Ugh. i just want the information yk? I’ll give the archive sites a try though
Hopefully we stop relying on these corporate journalist cause “journalism” is bought and sold at this point. Where are the independent journalist? I think we need to start looking towards a platform to fund people who seek the truth, cause every established modern outlet seems to be selling the same shit.
Did you just read the first 5 words or what? The whole point of my comment is not that we shouldnt be informed, but that the websites that are “informing” giving you all this bullshit before the information are wildly annoying. Would you like it if you had to give out your phone number before I told you where the bathroom was? Get a grip.

im in Full favor of an idea like that tbh
Yeah, who needs to read entire articles, right? No wonder everyone is so fucking stupid and uninformed.
Come on, surely some of the blame for the death of journalism must fall on such publications for how they unsanctimously desecrate the corpse.
If people aren’t reading your garbage ad-filled and data-harvesting article surely some of the blame falls on the presentation, no?
