There is absolutely no acceptable reason for a website like that to use cookies.
None at all.
Why?
Let's consider what cookies are for:
I can see why TMO and other sites where you sign in may need to remember you. But why would Liliputing need to do that??? They are broadcasting some information. They do not need to know who is reading. If they want to know, then the first obvious question is why.
Killfile, meet Liliputing. Liliputing, meet my killfile.
None at all.
Why?
Let's consider what cookies are for:
- Remembering me for the next visit
- Umm... err... that's it!

I had 7 cookies from them as it is. I did not click "accept". I left the page the moment I got that popup.
Do I want to spend more time on that page? No, thanks.

Press "learn more" then "Reject all" then "Save"
With regards to the actual article: hmm, cool, too big for my tastes, but great that it's having stuff ported to it, more hardware options and support is always good. And it looks real and legit and imminent unlike so many other projects!

This:
. . . and this . . .
. . . combined would mean I could boot whatever I need at the time -- or just want to screw around with -- without messing around with some temperamental android multiboot thing that doesn't quite work with everything.
- PostmarketOS is up and running with support for hardware acceleration.
- A port of LuneOS is under development. It’s an open source operating system based on weBOS.
- SailfishOS is at least booting.
- Another developer is working on porting Nemo Mobile with the Glacier UI.
- Here’s an image showing the Sway tiling Wayland compositor.
- And here’s a video showing Maemo Leste on the PinePhone dev kit (without hardware acceleration).
. . . and this . . .
- 5.95 inch, 1440 x 720 pixel LCD display
- Allwinner A64 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor
- Mali 400 MP2 graphics
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB eMMC storage
- Bootable microSD card
- USB-C
- 5MP rear and 2MP front cameras
- 4G LTE Cat 4 modem
- 802.11b/g/n WiFi
- Bluetooth 4.0
- GPS/GLONASS
- 3,000 mAh battery
