The cookie notice bullshit.
- thankfully there are ad-blockers that correctly recognize the popups as spam and remove them for you without you seeing them.
- bothering your users with such bullshit is disrespectful and no app author should do that
- most analytics software can track you without cookies. Even the open and privacy preserving ones do that.
- there are reliable cookie replacements that deliver similar functionality (such as local storage)
- websites usually load content from many third party sites that can and will track you
Therefore I think that all open source software should just ignore this cookie bullshit and have an option called "--i-am-a-brussels-bootlicker-and-hate-my-users-turn-on-the-ugly-cookie-banner"
