Got the same thing. Whatever they're using to detect the source of incoming clicks, it isn't working. Valid rant against HN or not, IMO that just means they're morons who I wouldn't trust to support a distro.

Edit: It's also happening from their own post on Mastodon lmao. https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@Igigog/110820668174707603

    It looks like they're dumping you if you hide the referral link based on the text.

    Truly gross practice.

    they're using the css :visited attribute on a link to a HN thread to display the message.

    having passively followed asahi for some time (too poor to own a mac to actually try it out) the fact that they have to resort to shit like this is gross, but i 100% put the blame on HN for being an unmoderated trashfire (and explicitly bypassing the referrer based blocking asahi first had instead of, idk, actually moderating their site)

    Thank you! Like is this kind of corny behavior? Sure, but maybe if HN wasn’t full of shitty people being actively enabled by a lack of moderation they wouldn’t have to try to do shit like this.
