the fact this opinion is voted down, is clear proof HN is late to be renamed something else, because hacker it isn't
I don’t think that hackers would agree to be locked out of a system, or do you mean they want to be locked out as a challenge? In any case you don’t get to choose which OS gets installed, so the parent’s opinion is hypothetical.
HN has and always will be majority lil VC money funded tech bros who know nothing about actual hacking
I once again am pointing to the sign that states this was never a l33t-hax0r board like you all think; it's always been an arm of one of the leading VC incubators.
Stop expecting differently.
