This is kind of normal with tech sites like Hacker News - you find an article worth posting, you post it using the original title.
I totally get your frustration, especially here where we’re not strictly an article aggregation place. But I don’t think there was any ill intent here, I think OP was following a convention that’s used in many places.
Correct. I'm a techie, as evidenced by many of my posts (including my very first post in GAW that I posted in T_D and everyone told me to post it here, a 17 page report and my analysis of it from CISA.)
I saw this on HN and it was one of those Holy Shit moments that I felt was worth posting here. I didn't feel I could add anything more than what the author did in his explanation and warning.
So you, u/Star_Commander wrote this extension???
Maybe consider not just copy and pasting titles.
Y'know...for honesty's sake......
His browser, his extension. Makes perfect sense to me. He never claimed he wrote the damn thing 🤦♂️
They literally copy and pasted the title from someone (the person who actually wrote the extension) else's work.
This is the definition of a low effort post, and also the definition of plagiarism.
EDIT: If I weren't directly ordered not to, I would report the post for violation of general rule #4, which it most definitely is in violation of.
It's normal to paste the headline of a link post

It's the article headline. But thanks for watching out for another anon's privacy.
