@OptiplexPrime@mastodon.social @danirabbit@mastodon.online I disagree. I think a huge set of well done (emphasis on 'well done') web apps is the world's key to breaking proprietary operating system hegemony. If someone can do 97% of what they need on a device from a good browser, then maybe they can stop caring if the browser is running on Windows or iOS. But most modern websites that try to replace desktop applications are obscenely bloated and laden with ads, which is a cure worse than the disease.

@firebreathingduck@social.vivaldi.net @danirabbit@mastodon.online I'm in full agreement, But the way things are going is not a great look. Throw 2008 hardware at those devs and make them work for optimization. Just because hardware is more powerful, doesn't mean make your web app a hot mess. I want lean and mean software.
