And how about blind people, bots, accessibility in general? I don't remember java and flash handling different screen resolutions like desktop, tablets, and phones.


Yes, because the author of the comment didn’t explicitly carve out a moment to comment that Java/Flash were not great for accessibility, it must mean that in their hypothetical world where web applications that needed rich interaction and client side processing where based on Java/Flash type runtimes, it would have stayed shit for accessibility.

I’m sure the person you were referring to doesn’t want to make the web shit for the blind. Calm down


To them the web probably isn't much more than doomscrolling video content.
