  • What we need isn’t browsers. What we need is an universal way to write extensions cross-browser.

    Browsers themselves are easy to make. The problem is convincing extension devs to work with yet another codebase.

    E: Think of it this way. There’s a lot of open source browsers out there.

    Are you using any of them? Probably not.

    Would you use one if it doesn’t have for example Bitwarden, Ublock Origin, Sponsorblock, and such mandatory extensions?

    Users follow extensions and ease of use; not what’s good for them.

    E2: A good project would be a builder extension for VSC for example, which compiles to all supported browsers.

    Browser devs would then contribute to said extension via native-made plugins.

    Cooperation of two fronts.

    Could you elaborate a bit?

    Isn’t Proxmox etc. “Gpu less”, as they only use tty instead of anything like a WM or DE?

    I’d prefer a “master” / hypervisor running a bunch of VM’s for different purposes.

    Whether they be for gaming, pirating, development, pen testing, home automation, porn, or anything else really.

    'Course I’d only be running gpu passthrough into a single VM at a time, can’t split a single GPU into 50 passthroughs yet.

    Scenario 1. X11 “works”, wayland doesn’t. Trying to update NVIDIA drivers leads to boot failure.

    Scenario 2. Wayland works. Only on igpu. Only via HDMI. Only on one monitor.

    Scenario 3. Wayland works on Displayport. Doesn’t even recognize second monitor.

    Scenario 4. Everything seems to work. Trying to do GPU passthrough fails.

    Scenario 5. IGPU is hogging displayport, despite being connected via HDMI, thus preventing the DGPU passthrough on either HDMI or DP.







  • Yes, software is getting worse, as education and corporate are getting worse.

    Where employees needed to know what they actually were doing in the past, now is mostly auto-filled by IDE’s and languages that target other languages, so employees need to know less and less fundamentals.

    Which in turn means when a low-level error occurs, either no one knows how to fix it, or the corporate refuses to hire someone who knows how to fix it because they’re “over-qualified”, and therefore would “cost them too much”.
