Reply to comment by twovests in iphone se 2020, day 1 review from someone who has used android exclusively for the past six years by twovests

I can't really agree that software keeps getting worse aside from the constant reliance on cloud services. From my perspective it keeps getting better and more accessible, and with those improvements comes more need for computing power.

Using iOS 13 compared to using something like iOS 3 is night and day. And at least for a while Android was improving fairly rapidly too.

That all being said there's ups and downs, and I still think all software is bad. But it's getting less bad.

I guess by "worse" I mean devs are making things heavier when they don't need to be. Heavy websites bogged down by autplaying videos and telemetries and high resolution photos and a bunch of weird CSS things that don't play well with native controls!

I like Postmill, it works very well and would probably work well in the Nintendo DSi browser because it doesn't have a lot of that bad cluttery bloatey stuffe

oh yeah with only a few exceptions websites seem to be getting more and more garbage every day lol. I was more thinking OS level stuff :P

Oh yeah. I really like Linux distros because they seem to have scaled much more reasonably.

Like, the most significant issue I can recall are that many distros no longer fit on a CD, but there are so many options even for 10+ year old laptops. It's great.
