How to split a string into an array in Bash? (2012)

Does anyone get the "Accept all cookies" stackexchange modal popup every time? And if you go into Customize settings, you're faced with a dark pattern of being confronted with the "Accept all cookies" button AGAIN, and in the spot where you'd expect "Confirm my choices" to be.

Honestly I'm flabbergasted that stackoverflow is willing to engage in such unethical, immoral behavior on their very first customer-facing interaction.

I get it all the time when I don’t use blockers, but what I’ve seen when I choose to customize is a set of toggles where the additional cookies (don’t recall them, but they’re two among a total of three) are turned off. The size of the dialog on desktop is a huge annoyance.

When I use a browser with blockers, the experience is better.

I also feel like that, but I'm pretty sure it's just because we get a fresh one every time we visit a different stackexchange subdomain.

My complaint is more that they're willing to "deface" their website with a dark pattern like that.

The frequency just serves as a helpful reminder of this significant taint on their ethics.

It makes me wonder about the people that work at stackexchange.

I honestly don't think it's in bad faith, it does make some sense to treat subdomains separately for cookies.

This chrome extension fixes it for me https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/consent-manager/gp...

Each of StackExchange's sub-sites has its own cookie consent management. That said, once I make my choices initially on each one, I haven't had any issues with them popping up again (I'm also signed in, which could impact things).

Yes me too, I too wondered if it a persistent attempt to accept all or my tracking blocker interfering

I am at peace with my cookies.
