Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

good fucking riddance
why do people think it's a sick burn to write "I saw you strangers talking to each other on the other side of the room and I had to come over here to tell you I don't like you and I *won't* hang out with you!"
fucking right? like it’s so important to come here and scream a barely changed variant of “I disagree that the ceo is acting unhinged because reason not given” and demand a Very Serious Debate with us
like fuck me, I’ll take a post defending the ceo if it’s not all bad faith debatebro shit and low effort garbage. if it’s a bad point not made maliciously I’ll just downvote it. there’s also a fair few folks (including some of our regulars) who use kagi enough they can’t dump it because there’s no good alternative. that’s fine! this isn’t a fucking purity test, but this is a honeypot for posters we don’t want here. this instance and its communities will never choose growth over quality.
also, if any of these fuckers are going to come at a queer person for sharing a tech opinion they don’t personally like, they’d best have something much stronger than “no I think lori’s the unhinged one” cause we’ve seen this game played before
We all use impure shit, there is no ethical yadda under yadda. I might always have to use Windows. David's on Twitter. Probably more than half the sub uses Chrome. Every time a North American gets a package in a cardboard box they're funding one of America's shittiest GOP megadonors. But ain't nobody in here defending Musk or Pichai or Uihlein or Nadella like the weird nerds meme.
It's like the classic comic "we should improve society somewhat!" "And yet you participate in society!"
“you claim to be a socialist and yet you have the money required to survive in a capitalist society, what a hypocrite”
