You don’t have to be mean about it! The world is big enough to fit lots of people like you who have no idea who he is, and also people like me who think “wait, is that the same saurik from...”

One can be "semi-famous", as OP said, in small circles, Eg. chess, and you wouldn't recognize his username--but maybe lots of chess players would. I didn't see it as humblebrag anyway, since it was a true part of his points.

I care and on HN there will be a lot of people who do. The wider internet, probably less so.

Maybe you can ask Mr. Saurik for an iOS 11 Jailbreak.
