Dark reader is one of the heaviest extensions you use, lots of dom modifications. It also passes around far too much data between processes.

My only concern would be the systems that my code runs on top of won’t be willing to share. It is one thing to demand it from me, another to demand it from Siemens. Then you add in very low level code for individual devices such as VFDs

It is about code they pay to create...

Micro version too:

You are absolutely correct. This can help in a world where every app is well sandboxed (thus can be reliably identified and isolated).

Nvidia was also more painful than now.

Yes its a different language by the same creator.

Everything they do is open source, artificially holding back features doesn’t make sense.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s generally a problem. But modern firmware for some hardware is very complex and would be nice to be open.

It’s extremely easy to have a fully featured desktop that is open source software only.

Open hardware is hard though.

Some call that “source available” and not open source.

Also very unrelated, that’s about graphics apis like opengl.

Bit old, but I used a Windows Media Center remote, still see new ones for cheap. Then use lirc with an IR receiver.

That’s a totally unrelated part of the stack. These days you just have a compositor that combines the output of applications.

The model of out of process rendering in Xorg was done pre-2000s but GPUs became the norm and don’t work well this way.

I think they just mean they should have control over the modem. They are all locked down and proprietary with known backdoors throughout history, effectively bypassing any OS level security.

Just by chance because Pandora is very conservative about API changes and it happens to use Android APIs still supported.
