You breezed right over that, obsessed over a single statement in a rush to justify your choices.
In my day to day experience the browser is not indispensable, quite the opposite. I barely use one. Native phone apps work better than web apps for "present reality" use-cases. I will stick to phone apps and run what I want on my PC.
I am waiting for a new build of a vision model backed GPU accelerated Vulkan-based desktop replacement to compile.
I can submit a prompt, get a point cloud/depth map displayed onscreen and then it crashes. Memory management needs improvement.
And I have achieved this in just a few weeks with a single 3090 and local models. But I guess being an EE who has developed software from hardware up for over 20 years and not a web SaaS code school grad, has provided the context to bring "fairy tales" to life.
Meanwhile Web Assembly has been right around the corner for over a decade; a fairy tale with little value in present reality.
Citizens want conformity among each other as well. We just use semantics that obfuscate; get a job, make money, be useful to local economy, pay taxes, follow laws, close tickets in a queue, etc etc

"Ignore your eyes and ears; your agency has not been co-opted by some rando who has given themselves authority. You're a happy employee and we're family here until the company needs to pivot and we unceremoniously fire you, and keep your work for our profit." - middle management everywhere
You're just arguing semantics when the ground truth is right in front of our faces. In America obligation is everywhere for no guarantee of healthcare. The American public shows it's true colors by not protesting 24/7 for comprehensive single payer; platitudes, obfuscated euphemisms for "thoughts and prayers", but happy to keep themselves off the hook.
See YouTube videos full of doctors wasting time and training on the phone with insurance employees "just following orders" denying care for treatable conditions.
American public is a joke and collectively useless. Trained to be helpless VHS cassette tapes of "knowledge" regurgitating whatever language they memorized at university.
Excellent. Easier for the public to make sure they stay there.
Cement over their bunker doors from the outside.
Park armed drones on the opposite side of their literal moat.
With the end of jobs coming, 10s of millions will be freed up to remind the tiny mega-rich portion of the species their meat suits were never essential. Just coddled by political handouts.
In this synthesized machine states era do I want to still run a bloated, buggy web browser?
I think I will keep working on synthesizing a replacement for the desktop metaphor of a blank viewport/canvas and sampling from a model of vision data, tweaking at the edge when labels are missing or wrong, edges don't align, saving it back to model
Think "boot to Blender" or Unreal Engine, synthesizing desktop and text files and such inside that environment
There is increasingly little reason to import all the state of legacy software beyond a minimal Linux distribution
Prompt to binary is on the way, skipping the generation of the intermediary code layer altogether
Code is legacy technology from the 1950s era of using machines; arbitrary syntax for labeling with human context the use case of a memory address
No reason the labeling has to be at the machine level. That can be vectors and labels of human value applied right to what's shown onscreen
What tech people should be focused on is political action that keeps hardware open and models open and not locked behind data center.
Software dev as we knew it is already over technology wise, social acceptance has yet to propagate, but social acceptance is an eventually consistent system. It’ll happen
