Of course it's true. Look at some of the top post on HackerNews right now:

- Tillitis Key – Mullvad spin-off inspired by measured boot and DICE

- A Microfluidic D-subminiature Connector (2013)

- Unicode character “ꙮ” (U+A66E) is being updated

- Why Adobe still can’t figure out Flash on WASM?

Tell me who gives a single fuck about this kind of ultra-niche topics, to the point of making them reach the front page of HN? Insane people.

HN is literally a site for the kind of people that would be interested in such topics, and a lot of what otherwise makes first page on other sites is banned to keep things interesting. Why are you surprised that ultra-niche topics like these, of all things, are trending?

Hopefully you're not serious... do you believe some post about the Kardashians would be more appropriate?

Sure, because there is no middle-ground between the update of a unicode character that has only ever been used once in a single text, and the Kardashians, that's well known.
