Why do they do this? Is HN such a worthwhile target for astroturfing that people farm reputation with AI comments? And if so, why not add some instruction to get rid of that obnoxious style?
Is this happening for EU users?

It's similar to UAC - a good and important protection, but fundamentally if you're letting code run with access to your plain old non-administrator documents that's where the biggest data threats are.

Mmh, I've always wanted my gaming PC to run a useless background agent to eat up CPU cycles that could have been used for my game. Oh well, if I didn't want that, I could just consider using a Steam Machine, which Valve just announced.

I can't tell you how mutch I don't want this! I know there will be some smart arse out there saying "Just install Linux" Pleas don't I have to use a screenreader called NVDA to read the screen to me as I am blind. There is a screen reader in Linux but it just is not that good. If it was better then I would think about it. I have tried!
