Are you sure? Your link also lands me at an auth required splash page.

    Thanks for the response, somehow this is not the case for me. Like past times, I always hit the walled garden unless it's Facebook's actual Blog pages. The provided link of https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10159934131461514&id=520846513 https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1015993413146151... redirects me to https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fstory.php%3Fstory_fbid%3D10159934131461514%26id%3D520846513 https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.faceb... which is a hard auth page. No modals, no pop-overs, no X / bypass on the redirected page. I tried the archive.is for content a work around on the share link, also didn't work.

      Interesting. I wonder if this is browser-dependent, or something else. I'm on Firefox with uBO with most filter lists enabled.

        Turns out VPN source IP is given a different redirect

  If you have uBlock Origin installed - and if not stop what you're doing right now and install it first (on Firefox, preferably) - you can use the 'zap' function to kill all those annoying login overlays used by the likes of Fbook. Bind the function to a key combination (I use shift-leftAlt-z) and whenever an annoying overlay or other annoying thing appears in a web page you can simply zap it by pressing the key combination and pointing at the offending page element. On Fbook you'll need to zap a number of overlays before you get to the actual page since they layer the annoyance on quite heavily but just persevere and you'll eventually get there.

    Thanks, FF fork here with ubo, most lists, and medium settings enabled ... somehow this is not the case for me. I'm not being served a page with any overlays / modals, just this redirect to login page. I know exactly what you're referring to those "content hovers". Like the substack highlight, sign up overlays on immediate visit, or upsells in shopping cart flows.

TFA pasted below: I regret ever Open Sourcing Java, for so many reasons.... mostly since my daughter is now coding. Turns out Scott McNealy let me open source 1,600 patents in one day back in January 2005. I got to fight with legal for two days and as a reward I got to then Open Source Java and argue more. Scott was very aspirational and forward thinking -- so when I wrote that "all high school students one day will learn to code with Java" in the press release, it never actually occurred to me that fast forward to 2021 my daughter would be using Java. Scott was right. I was right. Yet, here we are. Turns out my husband is really "embedded" and isn't a Emacs or Java fan (and I worked with James Gosling, I am so so sorry for this!). So the vi fan in my kitchen questioning why things are called this or that is like a full on religious war right now and "blame your mother for this" has been used at least 4X in the last two weeks. It wasn't the Oracle purchase, the Supreme Court drama, the patent drama or even the battles back in 2005 between internal software groups at Sun that bother me about the whole experience ..... it's my daughter and husband discussing her homework that is beyond painful now. Oy.
