Top-voted comments are linking directly to Right to Read and The Coming War on General-Purpose Computing, so I don't think the community has forgotten its roots.
You really wanna be scared? Go look at the multiple comments on the EU DMA announcement complaining that having a sideloading option is just a ploy for malware vendors to get into their iPhones. Or that someone else being able to sideload or jailbreak somehow hurts their security. These are coming from actual HN users!
- userbinator 4y agoWell, my comment that linked to RtR was highly voted... But now it's near the bottom and what's at the top is, for lack of better phrasing, a corporate mouthpiece. Was it voted so high it triggered some bot detection? That would only explain the former, not the latter. Either way, there's something funny going on.
