From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For comparison I got no such pop up.
Hacker News is basically Reddit if it only had r/technology and no other subs
Slashdot that's not all pre-selected botspam?
Well, that's a rant and a half. I've got a similar setup and don't see the same message, but that's still weird.
The good news is you don't actually have to know about Asahi, they're upsteaming all their work. If it's useful to you, you'll end up using it without even knowing
describing repeated targeted harassment for being transgender as “petty drama” is a bit disingenuous, no?
At some point, if people like you are being pushed away from the project, thats an acceptable price to pay for blocking all the harassment. Asahi has existed since the launch of apple ARM, your attitude stinks and it shows.
Who knows what they are using to make that determination. Obviously you need some tweaking. It sounds like you're reacting somewhat poorly though. Life goes on. There's other ways that you can see the site if you really want to. Think about it from their perspective.
It uses the :visited css psuedotag to display the message based on your browser history.
I got the same popup. Blocks the article, no way to get past it to read it. And no, I don't read Hacker News nor did I follow a link from them. Fuck Asahi. They can pull their heads out of their asses and then maybe I'll regain some interest in their shit... but I doubt it. They've just demonstrated sheer technical incompetence as well as childish pettiness. Definitely not anyone worthy of being relied on.
Asahi: Successfully reverse engineers undocumented silicon and releases first of its kind firmware upstream where possible. You: (of the Asahi devs) “demonstrated sheer technical incompetence.”
Asahi devs: receive abuse, harassment and discrimination from a website, often personally directed at minority team members. Ask the websites mods to do something about it, get ignored. Asahi devs: Block traffic from said website (and some collateral traffic) to do what they can to protect their team from harassment. You: “childish pettiness … not worthy of being relied on”
Maaaateee… you got blocked from looking at a website, it’s at most a mild inconvenience to you. Maybe recalibrate your outrage. I’m sure someone of your technical competence can find a way to circumvent the pop up, if you care even a little.
I already said I didn't care.
