You are right. I posted a follow up response under another comment here. Thank you for holding me accountable.

Thanks for that, and I agree with you about something being considered 'unbeatable' and the industry becoming complacent about it. I think the original poster probably meant that it's only currently unbeatable, not unbeatable in perpetuity. At any rate, I definitely agree that the hacking mentality is inherently subversive and rebellious vis-a-vis monopolists (and just in general, for the intellectual challenge and bragging rights), and for whatever it's worth I hate Electron for the same reason as OP - it's slow and the battery life sucks (even on an M1 Pro).

Your response seems even worse

I expressed an opinion and then gave the reasons why I have it.

Not sure you understood my initial comment.

You edited every comment multiple times downplaying your abusive comments, no point arguing with a troll

I edit most of my comments multiple times, until I'm happy with their tone, content and grammar. I do proof read them before posting, but things still slip through often, especially when its a comment with a more combative tone. Sometimes it takes a little time to tone it down and bring it more inline with my intent, especially if I didn't realize how combative it was originally.

I think that's pretty normal and reasonable and certainly not trolling.

This is getting meta, but I agree: I usually can't see what I'm writing before I have hit submit. It's as if the simulating-what-the-other-person-sees doesn't kick in until they actually have an opportunity to read it.

It'd be trolling if the intent was to gaslight.

Otherwise, toning down aggression is a virtue.

I edited two comments to give the original commenter the benefit of the doubt and to be less inflammatory. Interesting that you think that's trolling.

Good day.

You used flamable wording.

It goes against the HN guidelines.

Cut it out with the ad-hominems or move to Reddit.
