It's just a name, after all. More accurately, this site would be titled VC Incubator News.

And how boring it would be if that's all it was.

How much venture capital is incubating Haiku?

"What a depressing thing to read..."

You should get out more...

Your link is not, in any way, a response to my comment.

Are you telling me hacker news isn't just for advertising vibe coded slop services as a get rich quick scheme? Impossible, why did claude put it in my marketing.md then? (/s in case it isn't obvious)

HN isn't reddit, for better and for worse. This is the "Orange Site" that gave us Sam Altman, defends monopolies and shits out thousands of net-negative SaaS startups that leech off Open Source software. Manufacture of depression is one of YC's byproducts that everyone loves to ignore while berating Flock and 9 Mothers like they spontaneously popped into existence.

Your peers on this website are not principled, fun-loving Freenode/Libera geeks. HN is the Linkdin of underground social networking.

Given that you’re saying that in a discussion thread about HaikuOS, allow me to doubt it. I’ve been active with this account for more than 13 years now and do continue to find enough of the hacker ethos for me to engage with
