Just because the carrier of energy is source independent, doesn't mean the consumer of that energy is not responsible for the carbon emissions of its production. Since we're talking hundreds of TWh[1], the policies of those consumers can have a massive impact on global emissions.

Had a lot of fun with this. Also a good laugh when trapping some balls and hearing the midi-engine go apeshit and eventually crashing.

This is true in many situations, but setting up full self-maintained payment processing isn't really a feasible option for small or even larger development teams. Payment processing is heavily regulated with many legal requirements, not to mention the countless security threats.

The cringe is real with this naming choice.

Bob- and apartment-owner here. We have a small kitchen and just don't have the space for a full-sized dishwasher. Bob fits snugly in the cabinet under the sink and runs once a day for a 2-person household.
It's perfect for our needs and saves us a lot of both time and water.

I found the most easy way to motivate people to switch, is to just remove your WhatsApp profile-picture and set your status to something like "Find me on Signal".
The amount of people reaching out via WhatsApp lowered drastically, all (but one) of my main contacts are now also on Signal.

Incredibly cool project with a really nice artistic touch as well. Great work!

Not based on actual research, but my guess is that with Edge, you'll now have Google phone-homing combined with Microsoft phone-homing. Unless Microsoft actively went out of their way to remove calls to Google, there may still be many present, as found in many reports about Chromium.

Does it use regex to parse the HTML?

As pbarnes_1 said, I'd recommend adding some form of authentication. Perhaps you can instruct the service to send the requester instructions to provide proof that they are the owner of the account.

Reminds me of the Min-browser. It has a similar goal and is also built with Electron. Perhaps there's some useful stuff for you!

Interesting project! Perhaps you could add a return value depending on whether results were found (using sys.exit or something like that) so it can be integrated in CI-pipelines.
Great write-up and encouragement on the author's part.
