I hate that websites will purposely block a perfectly working website feature if it sees you're on a mobile just to refer you to their mobile app.

FUCK websites that require a login, i'm looking at you twitter, you need to be sued over this shit.

Insta. Facebook. In fact all social media that only lets me see 3-4 messages before demanding I log in. Fuck. You.

it's actually so bad, i genuinely have started to not use the internet outside of like, youtube, npr sometimes, and wikipedia. And archive.org because it's actually fucking useful.

You can actually use Facebook in a somewhat acceptable way without an account.

Really? It seems like it's 50/50 if I can even open a link I've searched up without it immediately demanding that I log in.

For me it always showed a banner asking me for an account, but you can immediately close that one.

i wanted to download a singular PDF file yesterday, and apparently i needed to be logged in to do that? I'm not making a fucking account on whatever scribble.com is for a singular PDF that will help me find my Kojima-name wtf

it's even worse in the field of science, honestly fuck journal publishers, you can all eat dicks. None of you do anything important for humanity.

Well Twitter is awful anyway, so no big deal...

i would be inclined to agree with you, but don trump jr posted an image about tim walz drinking horse cum, and i just had to see if it was real. Because well uh. Obviously. (yes it was real)

Oh sowwy, this splitwise feature is only available in the app. There's just no way to make it work in a browser that isn't the one our app wraps around, you gotta understand.
