That is strange.
The URL only works properly with Firefox in Private mode or with LibreWolf.
Guess the person that runs the community does not like HN.

Thanks for that. I can understand his disdain. Too many on here worship wealth and bad actors like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Sweeney who only care to propel their own wealth. There is a void of humanity and humility in such people.
Real intelligence must incorporate empathy. Lacking empathy means people lack real intelligence.
I respect people like Jamie Zawinski and Steve Wozniak. It is not about the wealth it about making a good product and solution. That is real value.
Also explains how he has the know it all to setup his site and fingerprint people logged into HN.

Think most web developers who learned web development before LLMs would be able to do the same :)
Yes, that goldless monk Woz. Sure thing he never thought about propelling his own wealth while reaching 120 mln

Silicon Valley/tech used to be hippies, but the money-hungry noticed it's somewhere to make money, and swarmed to it.
Look at Cliff Stoll, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=656058JxTM0
And no wonder those "money!" people hang out in a forum made by a venture capital company...
I wrote this comment the other day, it got flagged to death:
> As someone who downloaded, over 28.8K modem, a version of the Jargon File (1) as a plain text file (2) to read during a school vacation, in the "good old days" of my imagination Silicon Valley was a lot cooler for hackers. But people noticed it was a place to make money, and all the money-hungry MBAs showed up, and now the whole industry has a stench to it..

How come? I never use private mode and assumed it simply clears cookies and history after the session ends. Is there more to it?
Every time you click on a link, your browser helpfully tells the website that the link goes to, where you come from.
Try clicking this link and see what it says :) https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-referrer/
It's a little more complicated than that. Even pasting the link into a new window (so no referrer) shows the image, at least after visiting the site for the first time.
