Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Double pop! First time I've seen a privacy popup on top of a privacy popup. The top one you can only accept.
Extra privacy wow!
Ah I see they are going the Roku route.
I specifically re-open those pages in a browser on my computer, hit F12 (developer tools) or right-click -> inspect element, then delete the elements containing the popup and any modal overlays associated with it. Often you also have to re-enable scrolling, which is usually lazily implemented in the element styles or classes, so just delete all the styles in the body tag, and maybe the classes if that doesn't work, and you're good to go. Then you're able to continue without agreeing to whatever horse shit policy or disclaimer they are trying to force you to accept.
you can also block or remove the elements with UBlock Origin. either on desktop or mobile, just enter element picker mode, select the popup and tap create.
Cheers, that'll be my goto on mobile going forward!
Use uBlock Origin, it allows you to block these popups.
does it do that by simply accepting them, or bypassing them, and would it make sure the sites don't track me if I used it?
It doesn't accept or deny the popup, it just hides it. Technically if you don't answer the cookie banner it needs to be treated as if you denied it. But you can just block all third-party cookies in Firefox and you'll be fine.
It pretty clearly says "accept it or gtfo"
Are you expecting a No button that redirects your to Google or something?
Well... it doesn't. Why would i have to accept twice if i did?
First is "this isn't a negotiation. Accept or leave" Second is "pick the cookies you want"
I dont see it this way. They contradict themselves. If i accept the first one but reject the one bellow, that should override the first. Its not logical to force me to accept in order to get to the next one where i can reject
What you are rejecting in the second one are optional tracking/performance cookies.
