I'm really annoyed I spent 3 hours staring at my monitor refreshing a ticket with no activity, then tweeted at their twitter account and got it resolved in 2 minutes flat.

So I *think* they're a bit swamped due to issues surrounding hypervisor reboots in two of their datacenters for Meltdown mitigations, but ffs my issue was billing, not technical. And trivial to fix.

We've noticed a few pop-up blockers block our request for you to agree the new terms, and this may interfere with the download. Our records state you have not yet agreed to the EULA. Try turning off your pop up blocker or try a different browser and let me know what happens.
<UmbralRaptor>
… I listed 3 different browsers in my email.
<bofh>
UmbralRaptor: what the hell site is that?
<UmbralRaptor>
kerbalspaceprogram.com
<UmbralRaptor>
FTR, I distinctly recall accepting the EULA on the site. And forum. And wiki.

<bofh>
wtf does their new EULA need javascript to function, anyhow?
<UmbralRaptor>
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

<thatcks> Forcing an opt-out study down the throats of @Firefox Nightly users is certainly a great way for @mozilla to encour… https://t.co/QfYQe4G6Qf
<bofh>
let's also get into the fact that DNS over HTTPS is a fucking idiotic idea in the first place and WTF Mozilla.
<SnoopJeDi>
I know literally nothing about DoH but gee it sure didn't take long for Mozilla to turn to the ways of Mammon
<UmbralRaptor>
Anyway, I accepted the EULA in Edge and Chrome, and got the same error.
<UmbralRaptor>
Just so we're clear, this is now 4 browsers on 2 different OSes.
<UmbralRaptor>
On multiple networks!
