This link doesn't go to a screenshot of a BSOD - it goes to a picture that disses (insults) HackerNews folks (https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2024/hn.png). Was this on purpose?

Based on the rest of the comment I'm guessing you pasted the wrong link?

If not - congrats on the successful Rick Rolling (or whatever it's called)

No, that's probably the correct link, but jwz doesn't like the HN crowd and filters for referers.
That's the level of petty I aspire to, but don't have the energy to deliver on.
just imagine the hours that someone spent making that unsettling image.

if someone found a way to turn spite into electricity, we would never need to build another power plant.

Spite is the greatest motivator. Many a book have I finished reading because damn it, I'm not folding.
Copy the link and open it in a new tab. Works fine.
rideontime's link is cromulent; jwz does that if you follow it from HN.
lmao I forgot he did that with the referrer, that rules. I think it used to be goatse.
