I quickly wrote up a hacky filter that removes news item submissions from certain sites over at Hacker News. I left Digg for a reason, and didn’t want it to be the same for Hacker News, because it usually contains quality submissions. Sometimes though, there pops up a submission from TechCrunch or ArsTechnica that I don’t want to bother seeing (or reading). This gets rid of them.⌘

Proper description and functioning is given over at the Userscripts page.⌘
