It's not a joke. Remember you are still on "Hacker News".

A lot of us love this stuff, irony acknowledged.

It should be a joke, though.

It's one thing to hack for fun or to find new uses for hardware and software. It's another to live in a world where we purchase devices for hundreds of dollars, only to have a bait-and-switch on the software and suddenly we get ads on our splash page and a slower UI.

I'm glad there are workarounds, but they _shouldn't be needed_.
