Fortunately PWA are well supported on android, half the apps on my phone are PWA and I didn't need an app store or hacking my device to install them. But I moved from native android to PWA after having hellish issues with their automated developer nightmare system.

The power of web components is having the ability to develop complex front end without the need for a build tool in 2026. In 2008 when I got started with heavy javascript jquery was a must have tool to fill in for all the horrible browser api incompatibilites at the time. But because we are just developing custom elements with vanilla it works fine with vue and rust and all the others.

It has a number of security issues which have not been fixed which could be used for really interesting exploitation.

Seems like the heavy focus by institutions is a mistake because you have huge mining issues where ai is eating the miners, while etherium with proof of stake rather than proof of work has none of these issues, and perhaps in the long run will eventually be more valuable than btc which is it loses all its miners will actually vanish.

This is a nice resource. Personally I use linux vst plugin on bespoke synth. But bitwig, renoise and reaper all support linux for those who want or need commercial audio applications on linux. With pipewire and new kernel changes everything is coming together for linux to perform much better than windows + asio.

For me I made the switch in 1998 when Windows Me was so terrible it was unusble. I went to CompUSA and found this cool box of cd roms with a lizard logo - suse linux and I was done with MS forever (except at work).

It didn't need Ai to create something as horrific as windows vista.

The lock in with Safari is horrifc though, the browser on a $20 prepaid android phone is better than the browser on your most expensive ios device. Apple says well you need to write a native app, stop using the web and PWA's. Allow Apple to mediate absolutely everything.

Actually you can change the keys up so much you can do microtonal scales on it, but at the end of the day its a metallaphone so not likely to ever be the only piece of gear you'd want to use, you'd want to mix this with other gear to make a full sound.

Even if it couldn't do win11 it would be amazing, but also transforming into a work pc setup is ingenious. Then there are the environmental benefits of reducing the footprint of eventual e-waste.

X used yew and rust to rebuild their client and had success in that they are dealing with lots of heavy lifting where these tools start to show their value for large scale products.

For most products its immense overkill, for a lot of stuff even react is total overkill where htmx is a better choice.

I have had things melt down before where Gemini got stuck and then would say it did something and didnt, etc...

Howver asking the same question on a new fresh context fixed it, kind of context pollution can happen.

I agree, I was always annoyed in projects where these kids thought they were still in school and spinning up incredible levels of over abstraction that led to some really horrible security problems.

I've been unemployed for 3 years now have been continuously applying for 3 years and being 53, being non-stop rejected despite all my skills and 25+ years of experience. Its utterly gruesome and the government put me onto welfare to work which basically gives me 9 months to find work or have my access to food and healthcare taken away which they don't even do to people on death row in prison. The way we are treating non-billionaires right now is breath taking.

An even bigger problem is that Trump is developing a system of brutal punishment for the poor while AI is taking away a huge chunk of work out there while the rich people who own Ai pay no taxes, so if nothing changes we will see a total collapse of local government and state government as their tax income goes to less than 0.
