Web platform podcast - Off the Main Thread - this edition of the podcast discusses web workers, lots of interesting new possibilities and architectures, I hadn’t realised how much of a different model of client applications it enables, pretty exciting stuff - I worry though about all the bad things it could enable too, what will it mean for privacy surveillance and lock-in, will it be possible for to turn off web workers if necessary, will we all individually have enough permission to do that, will the applications still work without them when the ai apocalypse happens?thewebplatformpodcast.com #
