     @starbreaker we as an industry have left software requirements ("requires pentium 3 or higher") behind to say "it just needs a browser!", without thinking of how bloated complex and insecure browsers are

     I dare say that the web is classist at this point. It favours the richer class, the people who can afford fibre and Ryzen. It doesn't care about those still on satellite or ADSL (<25M). It doesn't care about those who have to buy computers from goodwill, typically 5-8 years old.
