It's been 13 years of "no, you can't do in the phone's webbrowser the thing you can do in a PC's webbrowser, you need to install a fucking app". People just accepted it. The fuckers accepted it.

I weirdly get depressed about this a lot. Like I just imagine some programmer guy, with the best intent in the world, adding in code to let websites know you’re using a phone so that you can make super good content that fits a phone perfectly and increase experience to every user.

Only for the next day some rich monopoly company being like “lol let’s use it to block access to our website, and force people onto our app”. :(

I know a couple of old head programmers in their 60s who deeply lament the world they’ve created. So… you’re not alone lmao.
