Missing Link: How Linux would continue without Linus Torvalds (www.heise.de)

Nobody is immune to plane crashes, terrorist attacks, or fatal heart failure – not even Linus Torvalds, who still has the final say in the development of the kernel he named Linux. This worries many, as there is no public record of who or what would take over leadership in case of an emergency.

I literally couldn't break out of the cookie consent loop. I had to leave without being able to read the article. Nice site bruh, will never visit again...

I updated the post with an archive link, sorry I always forget this website is like that because my ad blocking makes it appear clean to me

Looks fine by me. Clicked the cookie link, done.

Funny thing, I spazzed out and clicked on my Putty link after accepting cookies. Putty pops over the website, for a split second I was like, "Oh what fresh hell is this?!"

Clicked the cookie link, done.

You clicked Accept or Don't accept?

Thanks so much!

I have μBlock Origin but that doesn't take away the cookie dialog covering the page. Do you have some extra setting in μBlock or some other ad blocker?

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm wondering if you have the "cookie notices" and "annoyances" filters disabled? They are not checked by default. It's under settings > filter lists. FWIW the page loaded cleanly for me.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ah okay! No I have μBlock with untouched settings, so that's probably not enabled in that case. Thanks for the tip!

Now all that's left is to try and fix that artificial 5s delay on YouTube which is pretty freaking annoying and shitty by YouTube.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh man, I suspected that was artificial! 😡

It should definitely not-even-kidding be completely illegal!
