No lol. If an s9+ is considered under powered for Firefox, Then Firefox has to be one of the worst web engines I've ever used, including Internet Explorer.

keep in mind as I said, webview and chromium browsers are fine. I've even used desktop browsers on this phone without an issue thanks to termux. There is absolutely zero chance my phone is underpowered.

Im currently using a stock S9+ snapdragon (why its still stock -_-). I do have most google stuff disabled and pretty much all my apps aside from android and webview (which fulgris relies on) are from fdroid or ffupdater. It could be the standard A10 shenaigans, but it's not something i've been hitting on webview and chrome based browsers

I just swapped off of it, Firefox has been buggy for me, no matter which fork I use, it's been slow too. I recently just migrated to fulgris

I think in general, having NPUs on devices is such an underrated value of which Google's TPU would be classified as. There's actually a lot you can use them for. The main thing for me personally is definitely voice detection stuff. Although I have to admit FUTO's voice detect which uses whisper, really great. This reply is being crafted entirely using it.

Background noise removal which definitely helps with Speech detection. So it's really nice to have that too. And of course you have things like video processing and everything else Google is bragging about.

I don't think these devices are incapable of doing what Google wants them to. I think it's a mixture of they're simply not fast enough to do it real time, which Google needs for their premium feeling this as well as just not wanting to invest the time in it.

interesting ill have to look into it

interesting, do you know what they were using for input? if they have an encompassing solution that could be great. if they just use xdg remotedesktop, well thats about what I have now anyways T.T

I guess AOSP is barebones, but it's not like anything is being abandoned that matters, AOSP itself is still alive, kicking, and thriving. Interesting to hear that people consider Android, AOSP + proprietary bits. It's not something i've used myself

this is probably actually the fault of wayland and it's fragmentation issue. Various wayland compositors have different methods of interacting with them and this includes remote/virtual input. Because of this fragmentation a lot of developers have just started to kinda give up, on wayland.

for this one specifically, I would assume any virtual input would work? there are a couple possible routes forwards, the easiest is probably using XDG's RemoteDesktop. However not every compositor implements this, Sway will be getting it soon (or already has it using luminous). There are also numerous compositors that don't support this.

you have wlr-virtual-{pointer,keyboard} which works on sway and mir, and thats it. I believe there was a compositor that could do this over dbus too?

the reality of wayland is, if it's not in the core protocol, you aren't guranteed to have support, and if it is in the core protocol, you still arent guranteed to have support, but the chances are better

(Android =/= AOSP)

can you elaborate on this? this is the first i've heard this take. rather I would say Android =/= gservices

you seem to be thinking about live2d

There is plenty of various software, but you probably want to look at inochi2d, Im not sure what they support for tracking however. iirc it was multiple different types of tech

The reason why firefox and chrome work so well, is that they literally have been in development for over a decade. In Firefox's case, it's actually over two decades now.

Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, why not support some currently existing alternative browsers that look promising? You have servo, you have webkit, and you even have a ladybird now. That's three potential browsers.

All three are under somewhat active development. Servo, in my opinion, looking the most promising, that shares a lot of dependencies with Firefox still, which means maintenance cost is not super high. It's easy to hack on, and of course it's rust. who doesnt love rust

Right? It's actually kind of funny how childish they are

Oh look, the gnome defense squad has come out.

Gnome devs insulting cosmic devs on the public gnome matrix: https://nitter.net/jeremy_soller/status/1577061838910390272

Gnome devs slandering S76: https://blogs.gnome.org/christopherdavis/2021/11/10/system76-how-not-to-collaborate/

Gnome devs calling arch wiki contibs clowns: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/4829

Gnome devs making lying about wayland consensus and calling application broken when they arent: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/217

Ah yes, I for sure "made it up"

Typical Gnome dev: Toxic, bashing community, blaming community, calling features that community wants stupid

Also Gnome Dev: Why do we get so much flak?

Ah thats a shame, looks good however

ngl Im more interested in the dock and what protocols it uses. I've been missing latte dock since I migrated to wayland

much appreciated

Any alternatives? I myself havent seen one so I dunno if there is something to migrate to.

I disagree that American-right leaning people are anti foss. rather FOSS is great because it has zero political inclinations. Rather, as some who interacts with all sorts of people across the political spectrum, in fact most of my friends who are American-Right leaning or republicans, are the ones pushing hard for foss software, my American-left leaning friends are more generally neutral.

Rather, I think that in general, the more politically inclined someone is, regardless of political stance, the easier it is to convince them to be pro foss.
