Author here. It's unclear why HN is interested in this post, because it's just a response to another blogger's recent posts, which weren't even submitted to HN. Visitors aren't going to have the background context.

My original post "Mac app launches slowed by malware scan" was submitted to HN last year, though it received 0 comments at the time. https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2024/2/3.html

Submitter here. I submitted it because it explains a bug I recently encountered. Other people apparently found it useful. Should I delete it?

> Should I delete it?

Is that even possible?

Anyway, I just think my 2024 post is a better place to start, because it explains the issue directly, whereas this new post simply refutes another blogger and argues that there's nothing new beyond my 2024 post. That interpersonal drama/conflict probably isn't going to be understandable or useful to readers.

@dang or mods can replace a main discussion link if they think its apt/good for the final user you might write to the email on the footer of this page to reach them

Ok, we've switched to that from https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2025/5/1.html above, and I'll add a link to the follow-up to the top text.
