[european here] I can't read this article as there is no way to opt-out of the tracking - isn't this in breach of GDPR?

A fellow HN detailed how he did it here, seems extremely non-intuitive.

It's somewhat easier to just browse in Firefox's private mode all the time with trakingprotection enabled and no 3rd party cookies. Nothing is shared with the tracking networks and any cookie set by the site itself is deleted at the end of the session. As for the consent and GDPR annoyances themselves, they can be killed easily with uBlock (along with the ads etc.).

Welcome to the smooth, no-tracking surfing experience of circa 2003.

As long as it's not opt-in, I'm pretty sure it is a breach. I really hope EU gets its act together on this before the law becomes functionally dead.

I'm pretty sure it is. I also spent some time to click around to find the opt-out toggle, but that's nowhere to be found.

I guess that sooner or later they'll be forced into compliance.

Forced by whom?
