while true; do printf "\u$((2571 + ($RANDOM & 1)))"; done10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 (2012)

Why does ibb need to know my location to serve an image?
It's requesting permission to send notifications, not your location. And it's because it loads https://cdn.siteswithcontent.com/js/push/subscribe.js?v=1.1.... whatever that's for. That domain is on various adblock lists.
