Hacker News Reader

It’s not mangling. The article’s subtitle doesn’t fit within the character limit.

We're in the era of 4k and 8k monitors. That character limit only occupies a tiny fraction of any modern screen.

So odd a site dedicated to future technology companies isn't even caught up with modern display techniques, let alone ones that existed some 2 decades ago.

To be fair, on mobile the title lengths staying reasonable really helps HN homepage readability.

Also even though new such hardware is cheap for our western standards, its a mistake to think this is valid for entire world for various reasons

the site is intentionally anachronistic precisely because the people here understand technology

I wish we could get rid of the "Here's why" and similar clickbait fragments in titles.

"This one simple trick to restore Africa’s wild dog populations ... You Won’t Believe What Happened Next"

I dislike the title really - I'm not sure where they pull the 'most hated' aspect from. A lot of what I've seen is that leopards generally fall into that category, mainly because they'll also happily kill people, dogs and livestock.
