Apparently CNN is instituting a paywall
Sep. 30th, 2024 06:16 pmNow, you know my opinion on paywalls is that they're generally crap and easily bypassed, and with that note here's another way to bypass paywalls: With a library card! I mostly use my NYPL card to access the OED, and not gonna lie, that's a good 85% of the reason I bothered to get a NYPL card in the first place after the kids stopped letting me use theirs for this purpose. But! You can also use the NYPL library card for other purposes, and the same is true for most other decent-sized library systems. Even if your town only has a dinky library system with, apparently, no budget for this sort of thing you may be able to get a library card at your nearest bigger city system, perhaps for a fee. Well, there's no harm in asking, anyway.
