@dalias@hachyderm.io @datenwolf@chaos.social @miah@hachyderm.io (1) is not the direction things are going. Integrated GPUs are spreading to more and more parts, even downmarket into ultra-low-end SoCs. (2) I have never seen an X11 application do this. And nothing stops you from doing that with Wayland applications too, except for it doesn't make sense to do and never has, even in the X11 days.

    @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.
