I hate that you are right. Giving up electron would likely mean less Linux and mac compatibility. It's a shame, but it's likely true.

I have been really enjoying working with Avalonia, it is a .NET library that works across windows, Linux, and Mac and allows you to use C# for desktop app development on those environments. Its what MAUI should have been.

While true, a government IDP would still be able to track what sites you're using your tokens at, which is not great.

Only in real life, not in any of the marketing materials. So you only know how it really works after purchase.

I'm not sure, but I assume it's because a GPS app is running on the dash somewhere, and the app keeps the phone unlocked and visible?

I'm not saying it's right, but there us post processing that has always been done, but on modern flagships they've pushed into more and more.

Have you used a phone camera recently? This has been baked in for many years on every out of the box camera experience on flagship phones.

The sad truth is that today traditional search engines have been run into the ground by SEO, and some how chatbots backed by LLMs are producing what Google used to call the "I'm feeling Lucky" button. It used to just automatically take you to the first result for your query which was usually what you wanted.

Its a progressive web app, which means it is available as a browser based site that can be installed like an app.

Additionally that "like an app" part is packaged up and available on play and FDroid stores.

Only sometimes. I've seen the mute button be disabled on numerous machines. Worth knowing and trying when the screen is blaring ads at you, but my success rate has been low in muting them.

Similar to how I have found success with it. Is it revolutionary? No, not at all. But it's a variable sized (big for some use and nonexistent for other use) incremental tool that requires a new skill set to use effectively.

Mix in all of the hype and its easy to see why people are confused and why some get different results.
