I’ve never even heard of anything called Hacker news before. This message is a really fucking cuntish thing to do. What the fuck has it got to do with me?
It’s entirely put me off anything this distro could offer, no matter what it is. Devs are pricks. If they are going to pull this shit on their website, who knows what shit they’ll pull in their distro.
Fwiw, I’m using Jerboa on android with Firefox plus ublock as my browser. I’ve done nothing but click on that link from my lemmy feed.
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
It just really winds me up. If I’m going to get caught in the crosshairs of petty drama, especially when I’ve literally only just heard of the project then I’m out. It’s pathetic.
To be fair, I didn’t know the reason - I didn’t read any further than skimming the gist of the text. All I knew was 1. My access is being blocked 2. They are incorrectly assuming I’m from some other site 3. There’s some drama between the two. And finally 4. I’m closing this tab. Those were my thoughts. It took mere seconds for me to lose interest in this distro forever. And it actually sounds cool, as an M1 Macbook owner.
If it is as you say then yeah, that’s not just petty - but my point still stands, this is a fucking stupid way of going about this.
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.
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.
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?

describing repeated targeted harassment for being transgender as “petty drama” is a bit disingenuous, no?

It uses the :visited css psuedotag to display the message based on your browser history.

I already said I didn’t care.
