This is enough to make me never touch Asahi Linux. What a childish game for a Linux distro? How dare someone link to their website without their approval...bec

This is enough to make me never touch Asahi Linux. What a childish game for a Linux distro? How dare someone link to their website without their approval...because that is totally how the internet works?? ffs.

Agreed. I like to try out different Linux distributions every so often. After seeing this immature tantrum, I wouldn't go near Asahi Linux.

If you have a mac you will keep touching it, their code is forever in the mainline kernel. But again, I guess you really didn't understand that he was just lamenting the lax moderation for the threads about Asahi.

Do you hate jwz, too? Because I assure you, if you follow a link from HN to jwz.org (without removing the referer header), you will get much worse than a Google redirect.

  It's at least clear where the balls come from. A tab redirected to Google would just leave me confused and concerned about malware.

What about robots.txt ? lots of sites have preferences on how you access them Paywalled articles are posted here everyday Why not respect the site owners wishes ?

  Asahi Linux paywalling their blog is a very valid option for them if they want to control who sees it and who doesn't.

  Respect that Asahi thinks people like you and me, because we dare to get tech news from Hacker News, deserve to be excluded? What if the site wasn't accessible to people who had been to the Washington Post or Fox News because Asahi didn't like those people as a blanket rule too? It is the exact same principle. I don't think you ever need to respect people that are actively trying to exclude you.

    > Respect that Asahi thinks people like you and me, because we dare to get tech news from Hacker News, deserve to be excluded? That's not how it works. If you want to copy the URL into a new tab, you can still access the site. They just don't want to make it easy for people to click on the link from HN to their site. It's a super trivial thing to avoid and this whole thing could be avoided entirely by allowing sites to submit their domains to HN if they don't want to show up on the front page.

    Yes! Edit (quoted context): > Respect that Asahi thinks people like you and me, because we dare to get tech news from Hacker News, deserve to be excluded?
