The .org link seems to be a rick-roll.

[kuschku]

Many sites, including that .org link, have redirects for users coming from HN (because HN has a lot of trolls, though you may not see them unless you have showdead enabled)

I turn off referers in my browser. There is no reason to have it on, especially cross-origin. It's only good for tracking and not much else.

Didn't it get used for some login flows?

[alwayslikethis]

Yeah. You can re-enable them when needed, such as with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/togglereferre...

That's hilarious. No wonder /g/ ridicules the Tildeverse whenever it's brought up.

What is shodead? Cannot find any relevant info on them.

showdead is a setting on your HN profile

It takes 3 seconds to check and prove that you are wrong about this case.

I took the 3 seconds to check and they were right.

It takes a similar amount of time to prove that he is correct.

If you copy the link into a new window instead of coming from HN, you get a different result.
