This, plus there are many server-side WYSIWYG markdown editors that make it transparent to the end user that they are even using Markdown. This is really the future IMO, you get the best of both worlds. Hopefully they'll add some extensions though to Markdown. I hope the community will create even more as well.

1. No 3. No 4. Yes, because the future is decentralization. They are just helping accelerate it.

Good, can't wait until he gets banned. He is trying to instigate a civil war.

I'm likely banned from HN now from all the downvotes I received for the perfectly legit response, yet some people appear to not like facts so much that they just downvote to censor (which HN does).

Should a website dedicated to supporting women who have been sexually abused, be allowed to censor content telling them they deserved it?

Right... if this election was fraudulent, then might as well cancel the 2016 elections as well. They also had 4 years to help improve election security, which conservatives waited until after they lost to cry fraud.

If you don't like it, you can upload your videos to one of the other 1000's of platforms or sign up for a shared web host and utilize P2P video sharing.

They are a private company, but I ask you why have they lost all their election fraud court cases? Why didn't they do something about it for 4 years and wait until after the election to cry fraud?

YouTube is a private company. They are allowed to remove whatever they want. I think they realize election denial videos are the most dangerous right now because they don't want Republicans trying to start a full-blown civil war come Jan 20.

Spotify used to be Qt, has it changed?

If it can run in Electron, why not just make it a PWA?

I'd be curious for you to try performance of Puppeteer and Playwright running in a lightweight Alpine container using Chromium on Linux so that you get native support. Let me know if you need assistance.

One of them requires the user to click run on a file, much like running an EXE. The other, simply saves potentially malicious data to external storage which would then have to be run by a separate malicious third-party app. This are far from RCE exploits that execute immediately without poor user decision making, and Rust is not impervious to security exploits similar to these.

Telegram Desktop is a cross-platform C++ app. What similar remote code execution exploit has existed in the wild for it?

C is not C++. There is a reason core services for DHCP, DNS, etc are built in C and not Rust. If you're a careless developer you can have security vulnerabilities in any language.

Look into how the Linux Kernel and other projects do development. I think a larger issue is why do we need a platform like GitHub when SCM can be done through email?

I support free market with oversight. I believe shadow banning should be made illegal, but that companies should be free to decide if they want to block certain viewpoints. If a company blocks something like QAnon, then that is part of free market to create a new niche for people that are into fringe conspiracies that allows those viewpoints. Additionally, if a company wants to block liberal ideas then a market can exist for those who share similar ideas. The idea that these companies have to allow all speech is ridiculous, and I don't see people trying to enforce the same idea of free speech in other places of business like grocery stores, restaurants, etc where someone could start shouting some conspiracy about Democrats eating babies in the basements and not be asked to leave.

With Puppeteer and Playwright, essentially every site is scrapeable. Doesn't mean it is easy, but it can be done.

I knew before even looking at these that Playwright and Puppeteer would be the best performers. However, they didn't really go into a lot of details about system configuration and browsers which can also have a significant impact on performance.
