It comes down to whether you think "more of the same" is a good thing or a bad thing for software.

@baldur yep

The web has been getter worse not better for years

I had to upgrade my laptop just to be able to use websites

I still don't quite understand why

I mean I get why it couldn't run a local kubernetes cluster to run my production system locally

But it wasn't even useable for just looking at websites any more.

and those websites were doing the same job they did when the laptop was new - well they were doing the same job for me - but maybe all the adtech and spyware was driving it
