You really took OP’s point and ran with it to make a deeply radical and ideological argument. I can only imagine that the only way that you maintain this view whilst finding HN a palatable community is by drawing fairly artistry distinctions between technologies that you enjoy and those that you have declared “for the kids” or whatever. We were talking about an application for a washing machine, not TikTok. What if TikTok was implemented as a web app?…which it is I must add. Or is this all some deeply impractical RMS-style Lynx fetishism?
- moritzwarhier 3y agoThe argument is not ideological. Compare the permission flow of native applications to the one of web applications explicitly opened in any browser: You should notice some differences. That being said, I strongly consider supporting arguments as invalid when "ideological" is part of the brief summary of your refutiation and the supporting argument is first in the enumeration of your supporting arguments. It's just a subset of the infinite set of useless but convincing "ad hominem" arguments, unless you can specifically point out why exactly some argument is "ideological", rather than rational logic or an attempt at achieving this ideal.
