Web interfaces are the GUI equivalent of the simple, timeless tty interface. My 10 year old router still renders html just fine on modern Chrome.

- Arnavion 5y agoYes, but at the cost of needing to run a browser. In this modern era of everyone fetishizing single-instance applications, a browser crash caused by one tab would mean I lose not only all my open websites but also all these "apps". I have to `pkill -9` firefox once every few days because of bugs; a few months ago it used to break the clipboard until it was restarted, these days it freezes when dragging tabs around in the tab bar, tomorrow I'm sure it'll be some new bug... I'm glad I don't lose my editor / IDE / chat clients / monitoring dashboards when this happens.
