    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.
