On a related note, I have found that when it comes to topics that I know a lot about, I much prefer text, because it allows me to quickly skip over all the parts that I already know in search for new information, but for all other topics, I prefer video, because it allow me to just sit back and take it all in more effortlessly.

I’m so clueless about economy, I actually thought manufacturing = industry. But in fact, all parts of the economy are industries. Agriculture, construction, healthcare, tourism. Those are all industries.

Every time I see a website (in this case Mastodon) talk about native apps, I want to ask them what they think about their website as a web app. What made them invest in native?

You know that scene in sci-fi movies where the android breaks and starts repeating the same word over and over again?

> Using WordPress, it was easy to paste in a link and have it converted to an embed. But I don't want to direct people to a dangerous site.
You can put the embed inside a <div inert> element to make it non-interactive.

And on the HTML side?

Do most video players on the web use <video>? Those who don’t, what do they user instead (on the HTML side of things)?

Do you notice when somebody incorrectly uses “less” instead of “fewer”?

They wrote, “It’s a web based and online-first problem that does affect PWAs compared to an alternative like an offline first native app. PWAs require an internet connection to load the initial content. Native apps can distribute with that initial content for first launch.”

Isn’t this wrong? A PWA loads from service worker cache, and then new data loads using HTTP. A native app works the same. It loads new data using HTTP, so it’s also “web-based”. Why does Ionic single out PWAs when all apps use the same technology to load data from the network? Performance issues caused by a slow network affect all apps equally. It’s not a PWA problem.
