Looks fine on my 2022 11” iPad Pro.
Not only that, but also a Mac, both of them featuring only propietary software. The idea is great, the design should be redone IMO.
Re:What's new in Svelte (Dec 2020) on Thursday December 03, 2020 @09:25AM (#25289078)
Be aware Sapper will never reach 1.0, and instead will be replaced by just using Svelte (with SvelteKit). https://svelte.dev/blog/whats-the-deal-with-sveltekit
Although it may not really fit what you're looking for, there was a one-hour video linked here a few days ago that critiziced the entire modern desktop GUI landscape.

Re:GitHub reinstates Popcorn Time code on Monday May 25, 2020 @08:37AM (#23300334)
I don't know, I had Netflix notify me a few months ago when we were watching Spongebob, that it was going to be removed in a couple of weeks time. It's still there though.
Correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not that familiar with it, but isn't the point of WSL to lie to applications and present itself as the Linux kernel in order for them to be able to run? If that's the case, then the fact that they have to re-implement the Linux APIs in Windows makes the case that Linux is, in fact, the core, and without it you have nothing―of course I don't believe that statement generally, but that's what their argument would actually imply.

Not like this discussion merits any importance anyway, this is just another pointless argument about semantics. Most (if not all) parts of the GNU system are just another swappable component in the "GNU/Linux" ecosystem.
