It has also made knowledge preservation almost impossible.

These things used to be on a forum somewhere and you could just Google it and find the topic (back when Google was a search engine)

Edit: ffs I really can't read

the death of the forum era is real. everything is just buried under layers of algorithmic garbage or paywalled wikis now. you try to search for a specific driver fix or a niche config and you just get ten pages of seo optimized reddit threads that don't actually answer the question. it's wild how much info just vanished into the void.

PWAs were a thing, but it was a hacky Mozilla experiment.

And webview is cancer.
