In Aus I use Pop to refer to my Grandad who was british. I do think it was to help with confusion with which grandparent I was referring too, was it my dads dad or my mums dad

I've also switched back to google after trying bing for a few days. The bing bot gets stuck and loses context after awhile. Not only do you get ads in bing to try edge, that if your using edge on Mac you'll get ads to buy a PC the whole time. Rather just use google/chrome seems less pushy.

Australian banks have a system called osko/pay id. You register with your bank a phone number or email I think. And when someone transfers money using your phone number you get a confirmation of their name.

I built an app in React native a few years ago, at the time it looked more mature than flutter. However I had a lot of issues regarding keyboard placement, I still had to write platform specific code, which wasn't too bad your could use .android.js or .ios.js. Android also felt like a second class target for React native. A lot of the css features wouldn't work. It could be a lot better now, but I haven't tried since. I very much believe it would be easier pursuing a PWA or writing native code for each platform.

I think voice is a better interface for setting navigation, music selection. I used it quite often with the google assistant through android auto. Its intergrated into my steering wheel i hold the button and I tell the car what I want. Im not losing focus on the road to find the knob/touchscreen whilst I perform the interaction. It gets but clunky when I forget the order of operations but the feedback is there.

I have once concern with this article. The ABC isn't a state broadcaster its a public broadcaster.

Hmmm, I don't think is 100% necessary. Web assembly and PWAs have caught up in the last few years. I reckon things like firefox os would have a better chance now.

I guess for test on iOS would be to see if you could store something to localStorage as that doesn't work in safari would be one way to tell of your in incognito mode.

I had these issues on Fedora, especially around emoji. Firefox was fine but Chrome was not. I ended having to play around with some font settings to force chrome to use noto fonts.
