Works just the same on mobile, but only if you use firefox/fennec i guess, or do the chromium browsers have proper addon support by now?

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I dont use either of those, or chromium based browsers.

What else is there for mobile? Or are you on an apple thing?

It works but it's hard to read because of formatting.

I've just been using firefox's reader mode but this does work surprisingly well. Thank you.

If github kills this repo again, it might stop updating the list, but then it will show that it cant update in the settings tab.

Did you try opening in a private tab? Many pay walls rely on cookies and give you a "first one's free" so opening in a private tab makes every article your first article.

You didn't miss much either way. Copy pasted the article below:

Trump-endorsing billionaire Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and the owner of the social media company once known as Twitter, received criticism on his own platform on Saturday after sharing a video showing an animated Donald Trump killing Joe Biden.

Musk over the weekend took to his own platform, now called X, to share what he deemed to be the "best AI video to date."

The video shows Trump, as "Neo" from The Matrix, stopping bullets in mid-air and then fighting an "agent" AI-generated to look like Joe Biden. Trump then kicks Biden to the ground before jumping inside the president's body until he explodes. Trump-Neo is left standing and flexing afterward.

Multimedia journalist David Leavitt flagged the development, saying, "Elon Musk shares ai video of Donald Trump murdering Joe Biden in a plagiarized Matrix scene." In a separate post, Leavitt tagged the U.S. Secret Service and asked, "Why are you showing videos of Donald Trump murdering Joe Biden?"

NAACP leader Derrick Johnson called on Musk to remove the video, citing the recent assassination attempt against the former president.

"Only a week after a political assassination attempt, [Musk] posts an AI video of President Biden shooting at Donald Trump," Johnson wrote. "It’s sick. This is exactly the kind of content that platforms like Elon’s should moderate. It only promotes violence and division. Elon, take it down."

@matpolloy said, "The hypocrisy from conservatives is f------ ridiculous and say we’re the ones inciting violence."

"Elon is an immigrant against immigration," he added. "He’s anti-trans bc of his trans daughter. He is a spiteful baby."

@oralcarter376 said, "[Musk] shares a video of Trump murdering [Biden]. 'Good job' TWITTER. [Secret Service] it's time you pay Elon at visit."
