@neal@social.gompa.me @datenwolf@chaos.social @miah@hachyderm.io Again, I DO NOT ACCEPT "the direction things are going".
And as always, I'm going to turn out to be right about this.
The direction things are going is going to take away from us general-purpose computing that we have control over. Everything is going to have N layers of backdoors under everything you do.
We should be building our software stacks so that, when we can fab our own silicon, it's sufficient to actually run software.

@dalias@hachyderm.io @neal@social.gompa.me @datenwolf@chaos.social @miah@hachyderm.io fwiw the current wip build of my compositor does software rendering only (wl_shm buffer composited on the cpu), and all gtk programs i've tested worked fine so at least so far it's still a thing to not need a gpu, unless gtk is rendering on the gpu and copying the buffer to main memory which would be uhhh why?? but also not a problem with wayland
