I wrote an article on why I think PWAs are the future in my opinion: https://osrec.co.uk/publication/3/Why_PWAs_may_be_the_Future

Maybe it'll help you see things from another perspective :)

I've read this before and I get what you are saying. From a business point of view it makes a lot of sense. I'm saying from every other point of view, it doesn't.

> I'm sure you'll agree that having a standardised platform that runs on any machine, while being unlimited in the variety and nature of things it can conjure is the utopia we are all working towards.

Are you talking about Java + Swing? :)

I like that macOS feels different from Windows and that I can load up a Linux with many more variations that all have their own personality. I don't like how web apps use my bandwidth (I pay $10 / GB on Google Fi), how they use my battery, or my CPU.

Wait, what? That is insanely expensive. I pay far less even on just 4g. Is that a normal price there?

I don't use a lot of data so my monthly phone bill is usually under $35. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
But is that something normal in the US? I live in a remote location in Europe, I pay 19 euros and download/upload well over 100gb per month.
