It is indeed poor communication - why? Because:

1. The message is secondary to the medium.

2. The communication requires numerous unnecessary click throughs to obtain the relevant information.

3. The division of the information into various panels and mediums does not enhance the communication, rather the messages are divided in a way that doesn't match a hierarchal introduction of detail. It often serves no purpose whatsoever.

Also this is not some personal attack on identity "who she wants to be", it's a commentary on poor communication - don't attempt to equate the two, it's incredibly poor taste, and flame baiting.

" Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. " https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Respectfully: do you genuinely believe that guideline had this kind of presentation in mind, or the very common tedium of poorly built websites that occurs frequently on amateur tech posts. Even the examples provided by the rule you quoted lend to the latter.

The format is indeed relevant.

Lina received a $150k bounty for this exploit.

How does this work anyway? I reported a password bug that went unfixed for months and didn't hear back from Apple. Do you need to be the first/only person to have reported something, or what?

starting your posts with "respectfully" does nothing if the first thing after that is questioning the parents genuine response to your original post.

respectfully, get lost with that kind of bs
