I call "suburb" any neighbourhood that is made mainly of detached houses, especially with an Euclidean zoning. Most of the so-called "cities" in North America are mostly made of suburban neighbourhoods that are a drag on the city finances. The only exceptions are NYC, Montreal and maybe Chicago.

The filename length limit is a huge problem, especially since under *some* configuration of OneDrive, the user's default %Documents% directory ends up on OneDrive, and that completely fucks up software that bundles files with long names because they download random data packs and plugins there.

I don't think that shift will be long-lived because ever more people use a smartphone as the primary device (instead of a laptop), and the median smartphone is something like a Samsung Galaxy A13 even in the rich countries. That kind of smartphone has a terrible JS performance compared to the flagship devices, and it won't be improving much any time soon because most buyers find that sufficient for most daily tasks, and as performance per price improves, when time to replace a device comes they prefer to keep the same performance level for a lower price.

On the developer side, there's already a movement against heavy JS interfaces, and Rails Turbolinks and htmx.org are just the beginning.
