  Vimm’s Lair is still around, you just beef to run a browser script that puts the download buttons back

      If you go to Vimm’s Lair right now, you’ll see, in the place of download buttons, text that says something to the effect of “This download has been removed at the request of the copyright holder”

      The files are still hosted on the site, but they removed the download buttons to appease our bourgeoisie overlords. You can install a browser script that puts them back though

        This is the most stupid bypass, I’m surprised this works and no one noticed. Lol
