I'm here to complain about the utterly annoying 'redeem your shit' hovering diff that obscures the main page. If you are in anyway responsible for doing this to other people, please, take a bit of time and go fuck yourself.

Initially I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of annoying popups, flashy design and cookie policy whack-a-molery. I managed to read a couple of sentences before the page dimmed and a "subscribe to our free newsletter" box slowly faded in... I kinda miss the 90s/early-2000s, when I'd only have to insta-close browser windows with shock images, malicious popdowns and "You Are An Idiot!" looping WAVs.

There's always extensions for killing those modals like AlwaysKillSticky: https://git.sr.ht/~achmizs/AlwaysKillSticky.git https://git.sr.ht/~achmizs/AlwaysKillSticky.git

I keep this "Kill sticky" bookmarklet in Favorites for hotkey activation https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky and hit it immediately when a page shows a modal, or to delete a fixed header that is making paging with the space bar suck. Worked perfect on this page.
