Eich was CEO for 11 days. You’re wildly misremembering how much of an impact he had in that post.

It fits in with the contemporary mainstream on this site, unfortunately. Whenever politics comes up on HN, it invariably brings all the cranks out to play.

I’m surprised nobody has created a way to automate this process - I imagine that any tool that makes it trivial would be quite popular, given what a pain it can be to set up manual…

Given that this is seemingly the thing for which he’s most known, politically, it doesn’t seem remotely unreasonable to infer that the person I was replying to was talking about it…

…So it is about the fact that you object to his support for transgender people? Surely you see why this is, actually, directly relevant and important context for your statement. It…

It only matters insofar as it has the potential to cause people some annoyance down the line which they'd likely prefer to avoid. People don't tend to want to have to actively main…

Worth nothing that J. Michael Bailey was eventually fired from his post at Northwestern for organising a spectacularly inappropriate sexual demonstration, put on in front of his st…

Hard to imagine a more pressing case for legal protections for workers against continuous workplace surveillance thaan the prospect of its being automated to this degree.

This seems to quite deliberately miss the point of why so many find the effect libadwaita has had on the desktop experience to be so frustrating. Really, it doesn’t matter whether …

Honestly, from a moderation perspective, the dropoff has been stark - the quality of work behind the scenes has dropped off a cliff on most larger subreddits, and the quality of th…

Twenty years too late for it to possibly matter, but it's still nice to see. Interesting that there's no mention of what licence the source is being released under - and it's only …
