Congratulations to Asahi for finding a good upstream partner. Red Hat drama aside, Fedora seems like a good place to land for fast moving but mainstream and with resources. Meta: What a close-minded and sweeping statement to make with that pop-up. It's just a really bad, wrong opinion. It is so wrong, it makes me wonder if the author has "flagged" enabled or if they have some kind of accessibility mode which doesn't fade downvoted comments. HN can get pendantic, and any non-private forum has bad takes on it. But this is the equivalent of a comedian getting heckled by one person and telling the audience to go fuck themselves. But then again, if one thinks HN only has 1% interesting commentary, we're already too far apart to reconcile. Good luck with the actual computer stuff. Running fedora natively on a MacBook with good trackpad performance would be amazing.

  Yeah, it pretty much is. I'd copy and paste it, but I can't because of the hacky implementation. Suffice it to say it shits on HN for reasons I disagree with. I still root for them to do well on the core project.

    You should've copy/pasted it, maybe you would've found out what it actually says: > we find that only a tiny fraction of HN ... actually engage with the substance of our articles Emphasis mine. "Most comments on HN have interesting commentary" is 100% compatible with "only a small fraction of HM comments on articles from Asahi engage with the substance of those articles". In fact, you may even find discussions which have nothing to do with "the substance of [their] articles" to have interesting commentary!

      Well, I stand corrected, which I will always acknowledge. (Thought I literally can't copy the text on desktop or mobile). It does indeed say "our articles", when I thought it was speaking more broadly. So, whatever. Still seems like a counterproductive way to communicate their issues. It is still telling me, someone who was interested in their blog post, not to participate in their discussion or learn about their project, because I came from HN. And I guess that chaps me because I don't see the problem they see. But I've already moved on (aside from checking comment replies every few hours like a normal work day).
