Even ubuntu can't keep themselves from smacking you in the face with a full-page cookie acceptance pop-up that illegally fails to provide an opt-out. Sad.

Install the “I don’t care about cookies” extension and stop suffering :)

You shouldn’t have to, especially if you’re in the EU.

Did you try disabling Javascript? The page looks fine in text-only browser I use. Does need Javascript to convey the information. As users, we cannot control what web developers choose to do with websites, but we can control what software we use to make HTTP requests and read HTML.

This is just changing the default permissions on a home directory -not a more complicated encrypted/systemd setup I thought it would be.

Isn’t this what Windows has done by default for a while now? Every user’s home directory is private to that user.

It's worse than that. There is an opt-out, but you have to scroll down on the full page modal, even though there's no indication that you can scroll. It's not incompetence; it's malice.
