Admin: Please come over to the dark side, we have cookies

LiveJournal is now requiring even people who log in through OpenID (e.g. me) to accept this user agreement in order to read anything:



As kshandra pointed out:

"Lemme say that one more time for the folks in the back:

ATTENTION: this translation of the User Agreement is not a legally binding document.

So unless I agree to something written in a language I do not read, I can no longer access a blog I have been using over fifteen years."

I actually can read a little Russian (the three years I took in college haven't totally evaporated), but that doesn't mean I have enough confidence in my fluency to sign a contract written in it.

So it is unlikely that I'll be reading LiveJournal at all for much longer (I can still scroll through my friends page with part of it blocked by the modal dialog, but I don't expect that to keep working), which means that I won't be seeing your friends-only posts there, especially if you are caladri. Migrate over here and let me know. (Or migrate somewhere else and let me know.)

Yep, I was thinking of friends-only posts, since I have at least one friend who still regularly writes them on LJ :)

Ooh, noscript didn't occur to me. Maybe I'll try that. (I <3 violating EULAs.)

The other thing is that they basically broke OpenID at some point recently (not sure if intentional or not), which means I can't log in on one of my computers, and I'm screwed as soon as the cookie expires on the other one.

You can also edit the source and replace the 0 in

"remote_tos_accepted":0

with a 1. I couldn't get it to work for posting, though.
