Hacker News Reader

It's the referer. Copy paste and open in new tab, rather than clicking.

Or use a browser extension that blocks referers, like uMatrix. (It's a good habit for privacy in general, and doesn't break any website I know but JIRA)

Don't need an extension for that. Referer settings are under network.http.referer.*

Unfortunately, umatrix has been archived: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24532973

In the same vein (not the same functionality though), I also like https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls to strip tracking parts out of URLs.

try http://n-gate.com/fosdem/

edit: don't do that. instead, when you see the 'captcha' use one of the links on the right side.

but a better solution is to just open any of the links in a private window. that seems to get rid of the referer.

Interesting. "I'll talk about a thing I don't like to people I don't like". Doesn't even work on the sarcasm/satire level because there's too much effort put into it. What am I missing?

It's fun and sometimes witty.

Maybe the problem is with my sense of humor, but I find that when a comedian starts the sketch with "you're a stupid moron, let me tell you why..." I have trouble following the rest.

It has a noobfilter. ;)
