I've used it for years. It's nice, works well. When I do want to read comments, I just click the button in the tool bar to turn them back on, which is simple and convenient.
Might I suggest that instead of linking to the article at theatlantic.com you instead link to the archive.org archive of it? I couldn't visit it due to Cloudflare thinking IPv6 is the devil and then still couldn't read it due to the paywall. Here's the archive.org link that sorta works for me, until their JavaScript removes the majority of the page content shortly after loading:
Once years ago a coworker set this up with good intentions of evaluating it and it ended up setting up a default automation which sent SNMP queries to a networked photocopier which triggered it to print some diagnostic page repeatedly until it ran out of paper overnight while no one was around. Anecdotal, but amusing to me and it's still the first thing that comes to mind when I see this product.
I have some M910q that I am very happy with. UEFI is well supported, I was able to upgrade them to 32gb of RAM, i7 7700t and both a 512gb SSD and NVMe for mirrored storage. Highly recommended. Sure, it would be nice to get something newer than 7th gen, but it's still highly capable, small, quiet and fairly low power usage.
"There are an awful lot of people who feel that simply because this is Linux, they have some kind of right to get it for free. Unfortunately, they don't." -- Where in the world did they get that impression?!
FTA: "to trick your parents into thinking the computer’s off so you can play games without having to reenter the password" -- seems to cover it to me, no?
The Pit is fairly new by my standards. And if you like the food there, I'd suggest trying Stephenson's out in Willow Spring, they still use wood to cook, it's really good and they offer Brunswick stew.
Also if you're willing to drive out to Wilson, Parker's and Cobb's are good. (I'd have suggested Bill Ellis but they closed when Ellis died. Sadly it seems no one wanted to keep up the traditions.) Really there's a whole world of tiny Mom and Pop BBQ places in various small towns in NC that are great.
Not sure, perhaps the author of that one just hasn't tried to get it approved. There's also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywal... and a number of other ones for Firefox that don't look to be blocked, so I don't think Mozilla is taking the same stance.
