<sarcasm> Today I sat down on my PC determined to finally go and file that bug report with debian - when I open their site in order to download the new .iso I am moving my mouse to the bottom of the screen and waiting to click that I accept the cookies in order to continue but I cannot see the banner. It is really frustrating. </sarcasm>
The internet is still kind of the same. Yes - some IRC networks changed but people think that facebook/discord/reddit/tiktok are the center of internet. No - just go to the real web - it still exists out there. IRC is still here, and they do not ask about your age/id in order to enter and chat. BTW HN is one of these places where you are free too. Probably when Paul starts demanding my ID in order to post my dull sarcasm here I will move, but for now it is a pretty nice place to be.
I have PTCD. Post traumatic cookie disorder. Seriously. If I see one more of those I am going to throw my PC out the window
Apparently you can hide these with a ublock (origin) filter but I haven't found it and I know people have made separate extensions for this
It's the "annoyances" filter lists. Takes a few seconds to turn on in the settings, works like a charm.
I have them all enabled yet still get them
