  • The same reason they’re currently going after big corpo for bundling in random shit in OS. Microsoft recently had to remove or make removable a lot of their bloat on Windows. Google recently had to allow search engine selection at first install.

    So antitrust legislation.

    To further the point: in Chinese brands, this is a NOTORIOUS issue, because they do everything in their power to try stop the user from:

    1. Uninstalling their bloat
    2. Installing any of their competition’s products
    3. Not having a shit ton of hidden trackers, which imo amounts to Spyware, even if you opt out of everything you can.

    I know Chinese phone brands sell for low prices because they’re selling Spyware, that dualpurpose as phones.

    And if everything was above board, I’d have no issue with that.

    Want to fill your “phone” with ads so it pays your loss back in time? Go ahead.

    Just let the user disable ALL of it if they so choose.









  • 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.

    iGPU shares one monitor with the dGPU, but on different protocol, which from what I read online is supported.

    It only really needs output when I flick it open.

    So maybe it needs a KVM switch instead of trusting the monitors splits.
