@jwd630 @PavelASamsonov Selling me a premium subscription with Electron poison would make me instantly ignore any dialog or button giving me that option. However, if that subscription gave me access to a properly native app experience (UIKit or SwiftUI, no web views embedded), then I would consider subscribing if I enjoy the content and unsubscribing is easy.

Love how every website now has a popup that tells you "our website is hot dogshit, download the app instead" -
It's been about 5 years since I've looked at Ubuntu Touch (or UBPorts?), so it was time I revisited this alternative OS.@thelinuxEXP Thank you for taking a look at this! I always enjoy looking at alternatives, being an old Windows Phone 8.x user myself (and briefly testing Windows 10 Mobile), before moving to Android and then iPhone.

This is where our banana republic is at@Migueldeicaza It’s definitely ridiculous! I get North Korea vibes from this.

If your cookie dialog doesn’t have a “reject all” button at the top level, or worse, doesn't even have the button at all and makes me uncheck 200 options of “legitimate use” manually, I consider you of highly dubious moral character.@jamesthomson This is why I have used a lot of private browsing to read articles on completely legit sites. I simply click on Accept all, read what I need and close it, hoping the browser won’t leave any trail behind on my device. The only downside is that the tracking will be 100 % enabled on their side, in the logs and maybe some database or they will sell my data to third-parties.
So … no, it’s not ideal. I just find it practical if I absolutely want to visit the website.
