You can install a “progressive web app” as a native Android app now. There’s been a big push to develop PWAs on the heels of react and single page apps for a couple years now - google is doing a good job trying to support the web as users move so aggressively to mobile. Facebook basically has its own browser in-app(iOS and Android), i bet that browser has more traffic than Firefox.

- notyourword 7y agoUsing the word schizophrenic like that contributes to the stigma associated with psychotic mental illness. It is ableist to use a disability you don't have as a metaphor.
- pjmlp 7y agoSo the censorship of how we are allowed to speak has arrived to HN?
- lightedman 7y agoIt was always here, right in the rules dictating how you are to speak. Corporations acting like dictators. Makes you feel all nice and warm, doesn't it?
- notyourword 7y agoYou can call disabilty politics censorship if that is what makes you feel good.
- pjmlp 7y agoWhat makes me feel good is freedom of speech and fight against the return of the kind of government my ancestors were forced to live on.
- GuB-42 7y agoAll large companies are schizophrenic to some extent. Where I work, departments bill each other. Sometimes, two departments develop competing tools that are third department could make use of. Instead the third department use an off the shelf tool because the "license" for the internal tools is too expensive. At these scales, companies are almost like states. A group of entities with shared services but otherwise working independently.
