- kragen 17y agoYeah, we point that out on the front page of the site. We didn't think it was necessary to point it out on every single page. The page in question was last edited five years before Canonical Ltd. was formed.
- rythie 17y agoI was fooled for a few reasons really, hacker news tells you the domain and before I clicked on it I assumed that this would have been written by someone at canonical. After seeing the structure of the url, I assumed at first that it was a personal homepage of someone working at canonical and that given the dates stated in the post, assumed that you had moved your pages from a previous employer. I also thought it was quite likely given the content and title that someone at canonical.com could have written it. It was only after looking around a bit that suspected that something wasn't right and hacked your url back to the domain. For me the first page I ever saw on your site was this one not the "front page". I get the point that you had the domain first but unfortunately Canonical is now a large brand in the hacker space. I think at this point you risk misleading people unless you put a disclaimer on every page or change your domain :-(
