Why did you leave this part of title out? For clicks?
- etiam 4mo agoYou've been here long enough to understand that would exceed the title character limit.
- raincole 4mo agoI just tested it. Copied&pasted the original title into submit form. Nope. Right within the limit.
- 7bit 4mo agoIt's so funny when people come up with these arguments so confidently and then seeing them getting disproved so quick. Bro was never more glad there's anonymity on the internet
- hackboyfly 4mo agoYour comment reads like a tweet. But I agree with you!

- vitally3643 4mo ago"You are factually incorrect" is not moving the goalposts. Shifting to a completely unrelated argument is moving the goalposts because you can't stand to be wrong.
- Ukv 4mo agoetiam's right that "in Israel and possibly other middle east countries" wouldn't fit onto the HN title, which is relevant to raincole's clickbait accusation. The original Github issue title fits, but that doesn't specify "Valve" or the timeframe. Not that it'd be particularly hard to reword to fit all information. Feel like things are getting unnecessarily agitated ("You've been here long enough to understand", "you can't stand to be wrong", "Bro was never more glad there's anonymity on the internet", etc.) for no real reason.
- etiam 4mo agoI can only assume that mob of fresh accounts is sockpuppets meant precisely for trying to stir up conflict and detract from discussion of the actual topics raised by a story like this. Sorry if I accidentally gave them opportunity for more oxygen than necessary.
- Catloafdev 4mo agoYour hostility isn't helping things either. "You've been here long enough to understand" followed by an incorrect usage of "goal post moving" makes you look like an agitator.
- mschuster91 4mo agoOr maybe because if there is one thing the world doesn't need, it's yet another thread devolving into flamewars about the Israel/Palestine conflict?
- raincole 4mo agoThen don't make this thread. One can't discuss an issue about Israel/middle east's internet connection while pretending the war doesn't exist. Technical issues don't float in a perfect vacuum sphere.
- mschuster91 4mo ago> Technical issues don't float in a perfect vacuum sphere. I agree. But if there is a chance to not immediately draw in the wrong crowd... I prefer if people take it.
