> There hasn't been a Wikipedia-like event for many decades. Off the top of head... OpenStreetMap was in 2004. Mastodon and the associated spec-thingy was around 2016. One/two decades is not the same as many decades. Oh, and what about asm.js? Sure, archive.org is many decades old. But suddenly I'm using it to play every retro game under the sun on my browser. And we can try out a lot of FOSS software in the browser without installing things. Didn't someone post a blog to explain X11 where the examples were running a javascript implementation of the X window system? Seems to me the entire web-o-sphere leveled up over the past decade. I mean, it's so good in fact that I can run an LLM clientside in the browser. (Granted, it's probably trained in part on your public musing that the web is worse.) And all this while still rendering Berkshire Hathaway website correctly for many decades. How many times would the Gnome devs have broken it by now? How many upgrades would Apple have forced an "iweb" upgrade in that time? Edit: typo
