Really? You think they'd just push for a _firewall_. Wouldn't that just solve the actual problem? Oh, wait, yea, X11 disabled TCP networking by default more than a decade ago.

You understand what /dev/input/* is, right?

The whole undertaking lacks substance.

Too many projects drank the early 2000s kool-aid and thought they would get a second suck at the salve (a.k.a "start from scratch"). It never worked out and you just fraction an already annoyed userbase into an overtly warring userbase. I can't think of anything more wasteful of talent and energy.

Oh, I didn't realize the ethos of "hacker news" was to "have fun" and "avoid challenge."

I personally think attitudes like yours have destroyed this site.

You shouldn't process this forum as a social club or a social opportunity.
