Or you can just use basic HTML with a custom stylesheet that makes it look more 21st century and you have a lightning-fast, sleek experience.
- palata 3y agoI'm with you there: I wish the software industry wrote good, fast software. I am just observing that it is not how it works. Make faster hardware, and companies will build slower software. The goal of companies is just to produce as much software as possible, it doesn't have to be good (software is mostly pretty bad nowadays). And that's good for hardware companies, because it forces users to buy newer hardware. It is some kind of systemic programmed obsolescence. It's just bad for the consumers, because they haven't gained much in 20 years, other than an obligation to buy new hardware regularly if they want their experience to stay bearable.
