Just because there's some lower on the B-list than actor A, that doesn't mean A is off the B-list.

news.ycombinator.com is a third-level domain.

Who would be uncouth enough to violate a patent?

Yeesh. What a bunch of babies.

(All of this—and these people—are supposed to be cool?)

Trademarks and domain names are separate matters.

It would be interesting to see a clone under a totally different name (like "Operation Bluebird" here) but still use a twitter.tld domain.

AFAIK, to date Twitter hasn't required its users agree to a copyright assignment or an exclusive license to the content of their tweets, so it wouldn't be a copyright suit. Twitter wouldn't have standing to bring suit, as that would be reserved for the actual copyright holders, i.e. Twitter's userbase.

So computer science actually involves science now.

Use of JS, including the NPM-backed bloat you see in libraries used on the modern web, is orthogonal to whether a site is on a static host or not—which is what "static website" actually refers to.

For examples, see: a bunch (most?) of the stuff hosted on GitHub Pages.

Aside from obfuscating the source code to sell licenses, how does this benefit from WASM?

Barcodes have been generated for decades on low-resource embedded devices. Even what would have been a modest-to-low-end machine 25 years ago would have no problem handling the compute needed for this job.

On this end, it just looks like the user has to deal with the penalty of dealing with 1 MB of resources when hitting the main page.

Have you considered offering, as penitence, a public feed to share the information that this process produces?

So much for those oft-touted benefits of Apple's policy on gatekeeping third-party apps so it allows them to enforce quality standards.

Not "just". You left out its role as a bot network exit node.
