There are certain best practices on this website. Among them are complaining about Apple’s non-user-serviceable hardware, Google’s privacy implications, AI copyright implications, WFH, and physical buttons on devices.

If you express anything that could be read by a sufficiently motivated reader as critical of these complaints, even if only a request for clarification about something unexpected, you will be interpreted as being on the side of each of those topics.

Usually, this will be accompanied with some text from the HN guidelines asking you not to talk about voting patterns and some “this is not Reddit” talk. These are the constraints of this forum.
