I've always had ppl on HN Tell me that they never 'accept cookies' and just reader mode or some such thing. Whats the work around here?

I clicked on "continue with ads" and it worked. Firefox with uBlock Origin + uMatrix.

I get "We were unfortunately unable to place the cookie that is necessary for the use of our site. Is your computer connected to the internet through a company network? We recommend that you ask your IT department for an exception for DER SPIEGEL content. Have you configured a browser extension or the browser itself such that cookies are blocked? Please add DER SPIEGEL to your list of exceptions. Should you continue to have problems, you can find more information here."

I only have ublock origin and a minimum of config changes.

I can't speak for other ex Yugoslav republics, but Bosnia and Herzegovina is in permanent state od limbo, for 25 years, and probably for the next 25. Corruption is rampant, nationalistic retoric abundant...

One of the main reasons we are a failed state is Dayton peace agreement. It awarded war and genocide. Just imagine post WWII Germany, splitted in two parts, one ruled by ex facists, still denying holocaust, the other part ruled by self serving, corrupt, thieves and bastards (can't say they are better than facists, because all of them got into power and got rich during the war)

The whole region will have half of the population (from year 1991), in just a few decades. Young people/families will never return...

So what would have been a good solution?

Jasenovac happenned during WWII, one of the most despicable events in history of the Croatia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasenovac_concentration_camp

However, the memory of Jasenovac often serves as justification for new atrocities commited to revenge the victims (50 years later!)

Serbia was bombarded for crimes on Kosovo, probably to stop Kosovo from becoming next Bosnia...
