- robin_reala 4y agoIt might be worth pointing out that JWZ doesn’t like HN and redirects any referrals to an interesting image, in case you were thinking of clicking on that directly instead of copying and pasting.
- colejohnson66 4y agoMaybe @dang should just change it so links to jwz.org aren't clickable? It would force us to copy-paste.
- Cyberdog 4y agoWhy is it HN's job to fix someone else's breakage of the web's standard behavior?
- colejohnson66 4y agoIt's not. But that doesn't mean we can't try to avoid the issue. For example, stores aren't required to use time delay safes (and other robbing counter-measures). After all, robbery is illegal, but they still probably should install them.
- sph 4y agoEh, let people learn about JWZ's distaste for HN and the iconic picture of a hairy testicle in an eggcup. It's childish but harmless fun. The Internet has been sanitised enough already.
