Every time browser freedom comes up, a good solid half of HN commentators claim they want a locked down system for themselves. They want a system they cannot hack on. So when these stories come up, it's more like "Don't Hacker News" Another minority points out that Linux is hackable and we should all just use that. I assume the number of these comments would be larger if the vast majority of Linux desktop users weren't tinkering with their X configs or fixing something that wildly broke after their update. If Apple implemented the web without obvious commercially incentivized malicious compliance, I wouldn't care as much if they restricted the browser, but I'd still care, because computing should be open. I am a fan of the Apple that made the 1984 commercial, even if I know now that it was the same marketing shit they always pull. They only cared that it wasn't their monopoly.
