Tell HN: Tracking Links in Hackernewsletter Failing

1 ColinWright 2 6/23/2025, 2:27:31 PM

The links in the "Hacker News Letter" are, unsurprisingly, tracking links so they can measure engagement. I kinda don't mind that.

And now they're all failing.

Yes.

I posted it here because I expect there will be a significant audience on HN, and I wanted to let people know that if links are failing for them, they're not alone.

Alternatively, if the links are not failing for them, then I'll know it's something wrong for me.
