As someone who prefers communicating strictly through text-based virtual media, I wholeheartedly support Mozilla’s message for a better web future. Mozilla’s message reminds us of the importance of keeping the web accessible for users with disabilities, and for people from all backgrounds. What few paltry successes I’ve had in life I owe almost entirely to the internet — internet freedom has had a profound impact on modern life and my life personally, and it deserves the utmost proliferation.
What I look forward to most in the future is discovering — through text-based communities like HN — high-fidelity, open source, native desktop applications, and running them on increasingly open and secure hardware platforms.
Less Javascript, less infinite scrolling, more text. More “native”.
