For those of us who are helplessly impatient, run this in console: document.querySelectorAll(".countdown-calendar__door").forEach(e => e.classList.add("will-open"))

Then this to show all of the titles document.querySelectorAll(".door-front").forEach(e=>e.remove())

I love this, and wish there were a community browser that auto-offers the most popular JS hacks to fix UX. Similar this can be done for JS paywalls and to get rid of annoying newsletter and GDPR boxes without agreeing to them.

That's the problem ViolentMonkey and sites like https://greasyfork.org/ are trying to fix but as with many "community contributions" the quality is all over the place

Does any site collect a list of works created based on works which have recently entered the public domain? The one that comes to mind is last year's movie The Invisible Man (and here I am assuming they would have had to negotiate with the Wells estate prior to 2017). But, I'd like to see a more complete list of examples.

Well, that's a super annoying design. Listicles are popular for a reason.

Plus there is a newsletter subscription popup box with no close button, but you have to somehow figure out that you need to click in the grey area outside to close.

There is a close button in the far upper right. Also, clicking outside of the box dismissed the popup. I did not test pressing escape.

I mainly use ViolentMonkey for my own scripts

Great even more reboots.

Can't anyone have an original thought anymore?

Disney tells us Winnie the Poo is part of our culture, because the more of our culture they own the more money they get, so our response is to fight for these old shitty copyrights?

Not create a new book, or film, or interactive game. We can only copy and remake and sequel and reboot and Universe.

And people think when we get UBI people can sit around all day creating art.
