It’s all client side. It even mentions infected clients.
Video decoding/encoding should work fine, better than Nvidia as fewer things support nvdec (the vaapi wrapper is enough though).
I’d guess its a solution similar to DASH that dynamically streams different content.
What does a privacy conscious version even look like?
Some things simply aren’t legal anymore like buying crypto without identification.
I have written apps in those toolkits. I can’t say it’s easier than the web of course but it’s not that bad.
Thats not relevant because Cosmic isn’t either.
My view is that if the goal was to effectively make good software they wouldn’t start from scratch.
If they used wlroots the desktop would be usable today with a good feature set.
If they used Qt or GTK they would have feature rich well supported software. (GTK4 could have been an improvement for them, it’s designed around being minimal and having platform libraries implement design choices)
They didn’t take a practical approach imo. You could argue its a long term investment but because of it it’s probably years off of feature parity. The only upside today is… it’s written in Rust.
The project is motivated by “I like Rust, lets make a whole desktop in it” not by good UX.
Yes, when used properly it did out perform the competition.
Webextensions get their own webprocess as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).
There is a trade off of executing more things on the site vs transferring a lot of data. Either way it’s a heavy extension.
Fedora does not because they can’t support it. If a bug is found all they can do is shrug and point you at Nvidia. If they want to add a feature that breaks they would be stuck and have to hold back other drivers.
The kernel drivers were never an issue, but userspace drivers fixed this many years ago with glvnd.
It means it will break less on kernel updates. I don’t think it fundamentally changes much else for gaming.
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…
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.
It is on by default in Windows… More likely people have routers with it disabled.
