Grub no longer detected my Windows installation
Christmas Eve 2025. It’s late at night and I should really go to bed because Santa is coming tonight. I’m installing a new hard drive in my computer to replace my existing Fedora Linux drive. The new one is larger and faster, and I decide to start from scratch with a new Fedora 43 KDE Plasma Desktop Edition installation. After the system is installed (super-fast!) I copy data over from my old drive into my new one. Mostly the home directory and a few other bits. Grub is showing me the kernels for the new OS installation, as well as options to boot several kernels from...
The Mysterious Forces Steering Views on Hacker News
I was initially torn about whether to publish this story, as I don’t have a clear or constructive recommendation on how to resolve the issue. I also didn’t want to come across as a paranoid conspiracy theorist – birds aren’t real, by the way.

The website goes on:
This is silly. The internet has already solved this problem.

With several posts on this website attracting significant views in the last few months I had come across plenty of feedback on the tab gimmick implemented last quarter. While the replies that I came across on platforms like the Fediverse and Bluesky were lighthearted and oftentimes with humor, the visitors coming from traditional link aggregators sadly weren’t as amused about it. Obviously a large majority of people disagreeing with the core message behind this prank appear to be web developers, who’s very existence quite literally depends on JavaScript, and who didn’t hold back to express their anger in the comment sections as well as through direct emails. Unfortunately, most...
