        I don’t understand why Wikipedia still serves a different link to mobile browsers. Responsive design (especially for what is basically an all-text website) is a thing, and the client should choose which stylesheet and what image sizes it selects. Plus we wouldn’t have this mobile link vs desktop link nonsense.

    Also who is tptacek and why does he want $1E5 to stop tweeting about ESR? There's literally no useful information in the linked tweet.

      Thomas Ptacek (tptacek, aka @tqbf on twitter) is the number one poster by net karma on HN. Security expert, startup founder, and all-around nice guy. He did good here.
