Toula moves to Gazette
Toula Drimonis has moved to the Gazette with a weekly opinion piece – but I can’t read it, since I don’t subscribe.

And her former readership falls by 90%… Sad!

Postmedia sites are notoriously glitchy and even though I subscribe, my login gets kicked off all the time.
Which is a convoluted way of saying I can read the article whether or not I’m logged in.

I have a trick that kind of exploits the notorious glitchiness of news sites that Kevin is talking about. When clicking on a link, before the web page (and pay wall) gets fully loaded, use the select all + copy shortcuts. This will copy all the text + images on that page (including the article) to your clipboard and you can then paste to a text editor. You need fast fingers as you only have a couple of seconds to execute the two shortcuts, and sometimes it takes a few tries, but it usually works for me for specific articles I must read!

I’m glad she found an additional outlet for her excellent writing, but I doubt she’ll find a very receptive readership.
(I have no problems reading it, I might use the exact flavour of ad-blocker that they apparently don’t detect.)

I just refused to renew my digital subscription to the Gazette. The site was just too annoying. I do wish I could read Drimonis’ column, though…
