How exactly would they watermark textual content?

with fonts and typos.

[Something1234 → rolph]

With unicode characters. Greek question mark anyone instead of semicolon?

These jokes are getting too complex...

[dexwiz → mondobe]

Are you kidding, it’s prime material.

[fragmede → dexwiz]

I'm getting irrationally angry about how HN is turning into Reddit

[Cyphase → fragmede]

Okay, now you're just tying yourselves in knots.

[fuzztester → fragmede]

transcend your anger by realizing that we are, all really one, and let's join our arms in unity.

[_zoltan_ → fragmede]

because Reddit is good, no matter how much you think you're elite just becasue you're on HN as well.

[fragmede → _zoltan_]

too subtle?

tbc, that complaint is old as the hills and technically against the guidelines, but I couldn't help myself. I have no pretentions about HN and will usually call out other commentors for it.

This kills the pun train, unfortunately.

[Cyphase → fragmede]

Not if we transcend our miscommunications.

[fuzztester → dexwiz]

this subthread feels so natural. is it something integral to the topic?

[fuzztester → dexwiz]

we should factor your comment into the decision, of course.

[fuzztester → mondobe]

i am fine with having an infinite series of them ...

[fuzztester → mondobe]

yes, there should be a limit to them.

What? The old-Internet feeling comes from the fact that everything was made by people - that's the whole point.

[llm_trw → mondobe]

Turns out robots make for better people than people.

Also I remember the refrain that "I'm just text on a screen dude" made more than once on the boards I used to visit at the time.

Cheats are fine and fun in single-player games. Not in online multiplayer experiences, and certainly not flooding every single server.

I'm surprised that something like this has only showed up on HN now. The discussion around white-texting (or whatever you want to call it) has existed for the past few months on LinkedIn and other spaces. Employers are already finding ways to crack down on it.

Because it's a screenshot of a tweet of a teenager. Probabilities are high that this is just a made up story.
