I got the same sense, but nowadays I can't be sure whether a text is AI or the writer's style has absorbed LLM tropes.

Ok, suppose the strip club is the website, and the club's door is the OS.

Would you fine the door's manufacturer for teens getting into the strip club?

There's always `M-x term` for a full terminal.

It's not just you.

I've been on HN since about 2008, and the change is steep.

Since the site acquired social clout, status seekers have swarmed in vying for status, and an opinion orthodoxy has formed that's becoming increasingly intolerant.

Whoever needs more slop faster can easily find it elsewhere, if PostmarketOS doesn't want to follow the trend, that's well and good.
