I happened to click a link that took me to the associated twitter X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it’s nothing new. I’ve got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What’s the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you’ve encountered recently?

    I’m headed in that direction.

    • Minimal apps on my phone, most of them foss apps to access my self hosted services
    • Raspberry pi 4 running osmc connected to our TV. TV itself has no internet connection
    • Want to move to graphene os, but riding this iphone 12 mini until it dies
    • Linux on my server and my primary computer. Have an M1 Mac Mini that my wife primarily uses (too many papercuts for her with asahi linux. We tried and switched back), and iPadOS on the iPad Pro that I have that I’m also riding until it dies.
