- easytiger 7y agoThis is what I see when I click the above link https://imgur.com/a/NPKYdBR https://imgur.com/a/NPKYdBR The web had been well and truly ruined
- OJFord 7y agoIronically I only saw it for a fraction of a second before imgur gave me a full-page (mobile) cookie pop-up.
- ajaviaad 7y agoIts opening on my blackberry device and laptop without imgur pop up.
- omani 7y agoyes. the web is broken. and advertisement is the reason. the pest of the internet.
- DaniFong 7y agothe true coronavirus is for our attention.
- IsoldesKnight 7y agoI got zero ads when I opened it. I'm using Firefox for Android with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger extensions.

Note: Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes. The official names are: Disease coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...
- burfog 7y agoYes, just like Bos taurus is the official name for a cow. Normal people call it "cow". The common name for the virus is Wuhan virus. There is an effort by the Chinese government to pressure people, especially news media, into not using the common name. It's sad to see Hacker News caving in to this. Articles with "Wuhan" in the name are not showing up; they seem to be blocked. No, it isn't offensive. We frequently name diseases after locations. Ebola is an example. MERS is an example. Spanish Flu is an example.
- jlmorton 7y ago> The common name for the virus is Wuhan virus. Except the common name for the virus is _not_ wuhanvirus. This simple fact destroys your entire point. The virus is overwhelmingly known as coronavirus, and less known by it's official WHO designation SARS-CoV-2, or the illness it causes, Coronavirus disease. It's true that we sometimes refer to novel pathogens by their first known origin, but it's hardly a general rule. We don't call SARS foshanvirus, and we don't call H1N1 American flu. If you used any of these names, no one would know what you're talking about. It's not particularly strange for the public to refer to a novel virus by it's original location, but it is extremely strange when people want to redefine the common name as location-based when it's already widely known by a different, more distinguishing name. Your point is that the thoughtpolice are out in full force to redefine our language in politically correct terms. But that's not what's happening at all. The entire world already knows the virus by an altogether different name, and it is you out to redefine it by its location, a less distinguishing feature.
- burfog 7y agoCoronavirus is a less distinguishing name. There are many types of coronavirus, including SARS and MERS. There are types of coronavirus that are only in animals. Here is the media prior to the thoughtpolice, using the common name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LT_up3ltqo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LT_up3ltqo

- elygre 7y agoI think you linked to a picture of a cookie something. I can't be really sure, to be honest, because imgur won't show the picture because they "value my privacy."
- ryandrake 7y agoIt’s a cookie modal pop up over top of a “create an account!” modal pop up, which itself is over the content. Pure madness! Thanks, web developers.
- dmix 7y agoYou forgot an alert confirmation dialog at the bottom... There were three confirmation dialogs. Two of which we can blame the developers/company [1], one we can blame the EU’s good intentions but terrible execution idea. [1] being prompted for alerts and making an account on first visiting a content site is so dumb, not to mention layering 3x modals, but some alert prompting by the OS/browser is fine
- ryandrake 7y agoDevelopers partially share the blame for cookie dialogs as well. They could choose not to use cookies, knowing the alternative is an annoying dialog, but they choose to go the path of annoyance.
- dmix 7y agoThat cookie scenario is pretty unrealistic. I don’t think that decision has ever happened on a news site or any serious online business. This was entirely predictable that it would just be something people learn to click okay automatically without even reading it and it’s never geofiltered either. It’s a Windows approach to ‘privacy’ (annoying alerts replacing carefully timed messaging) that does little to influence decision making.
- jlmorton 7y agoEurope has given us many positive changes in online regulation, but the cookie warning is not among the positive. Please, can we get rid of cookie warning? If we we want to do something, let's regulate the path browser makers are already pursuing on third party cookies.
- dathinab 7y agoThese is no law which requirers you to warn for all Cookies. Beides some degree of misunderstanding most sides which show you a cookie (or GDPR) banner or similar do so _because they track you_. So why not instead stop tracking people all the time? The fact that you see banners everywhere should be a warning about how messed up the state of the web is. Also as a side note it's most times not even tracking for basic aggregate statistics but tracking and sharing unaggregated data with many other companies to a degree which strongly reduces your privacy _much below the point of privacy you have in real life_!
- easytiger 7y agoOne thing that drives me insane is clicking "accept all" then to be presented another screen to press "close" to dismiss the dialogue. What on earth are they thinking?
- meowface 7y agoThis is the experience for more than half the websites I browse on mobile. I just don't even bother anymore.
