Not on Hacker News perhaps, but certainly by the rest of the world.

- arbie 9y agoTo the vast majority of users, anything in a browser is a web "site" and anything bundled with the OS or requiring an installer (including Electron apps) are "apps".
- flukus 9y agoTo the vast majority of users a virus is anything that's adversely affecting their system, should we use that definition too? The vast majority of people call the common cold the flu (around here anyway), should doctors change the definition of influenza to the layman one? All industries have their own terminology specialized terminology and they don't change it based on what naive end users think.
