That’s a good point. However in the EU it should be the opposite - otherwise the site is violating GDPR.
Sometimes I have a feeling sites do whatever they want anyway regardless of bow many dark patterns I click through to find the “no” and “off” buttons because there are no real repercussions. Just like the “do not track” request and “robots.txt” are essentially useless.
Aah, you are right. Lazy me actually never looked at those. Now I did and it seems to work just fine enabling the Annoyances > Cookie Banners.
You’re right, that it doesn’t just work as conveniently out-of-the-box on Codeberg. However you do not have to self-host: You merely have to apply to get access to their hosted Woodpecker instance at ci.codeberg.org.
See docs here if you want to try it out: https://docs.codeberg.org/ci/
Onboarding requires a few manual steps, as to prevent the abuse of Codeberg’s limited resources. You will need to request access by filling out this form. After submitting, a Codeberg volunteer will review your request and grant you access if your use case is appropriate.
Edit: added quote from docs
codeberg.org (which runs on Forgejo) offers a nice ci solution: Woodpecker.
In my experience uBlock origin doesn’t really get rid of cookie consent banners/dark patterns. Damn good at bonking ads though.

I signed up for a surfing course recently, where I had to enter my phone number as part of the contact info. I was pleasantly surprised that they sent info via Signal after I signed up.
hmm today I’m getting “access denied” instead of a 404 like yesterday. I am in Europe, too but maybe Reuters doesn’t like my VPN.
