Why does this link to a picture now? Or is that just for people who use Firefox?
In either case, it's insultingly immature to have that picture be what the link goes to.
- clipsy 2y agoIt's just for people clicking through from HN. Perhaps @dang can give the author what he desires and block the domain from HN submissions.

- shadowgovt 2y agoWell, when you set up your blog to pay attention to the referrer header, you can link it to where you want.
- tick_tock_tick 2y agoI mean hating on Dean Preston isn't exactly an odd opinion. Few people have done as much to drive up the cost of living and limit access to housing as Dean.

- shadowgovt 2y agoIt's just for people whose browsers are publishing an origin from this page. Copy paste the link and navigate to it directly to bypass that. (Immature? Maybe. It harkens back to an era where people would do that sort of thing. And hey, it's a better way to deal with this site functioning as a temporary DDOS attack against other people's site infrastructure than failing to serve everybody's requests. And, well, jwz has been around long enough to have earned his opinion of the technorati who frequent the site, self included ;) ).
