That is pretty much what we've done, but not in as "narrow" a scope as just Desktop but more as 'everything user facing in computing'. Full breakdown will be covered later this yea…

The entire article is from the browser internals angle. The page-writer one comes when we have tools to compile pages into app and layer in user features. The rough path for that i…

Et tu, Brute? Posit this. If you want to catch a rare kind of elusive fish that both has in-depth knowledge of a very niche topic and, rarer still, willingness to play for the grea…

There's been a closed version of https://arcan-fe.com/2021/04/12/introducing-pipeworld/ that was VR centric as well as wilder 'layouters' to https://arcan-fe.com/2018/03/29/safespa…

It's still around. Still doing its thing. One developer drafted a backend to ratatui for it, but he's been silent lately. I'm only marginally interested in that angle as its endgam…

There was no point in bringing up powershell at the time, its legacy is an entirely different beast from vtXYZ and would invite the next "why isn't hyper.is covered" and "why isn't…

Xorg is better, but not by much. On write-fail they setup an internal buffer ~16k and if that one is saturated it is closed (that + whatever the kernel has). The protocol/packing i…

Part of it is that you either go to extreme lengths (like arcan-wayland) or it embeds itself so deep in the code base that it will be hard to get anywhere. If it doesn't get fixed,…

Need some shuteye (9am 'into the night'), but I think we are running into a similar misunderstanding that I spotted you having in the other Xorg thread. https://github.com/wayland-…

It is a compromise for how Xorg and Wayland can have a shared graphics backend that improves both sides and the part that the Xorg maintainer wants gone can go away. Arcan has had …

One protocol for remote casting both single-application and composited desktops with: 1. free (bsd) implementation 2. all the remote use cases of x11, rdp(vnc), ssh (not as a suiss…

part of the latter, since we can wrap arcan, x11 and wayland clients this way, in a world of remote work -- well.

Author of the article referenced, not AMA but go ahead -- there is about ~3+ years of research going into this one, excluding the crash recovery bits that is a prerequisite ( https…

A few pointers: The first bit is that practically all that is argued in for here, is in Android - and has been so for a long time (~2013 last I worked on the topic in that context)…

thanks for noticing. RiP +Fravia.

Some (most) details from recent years are subject to NDAs of various sorts - the rough areas are in some computer vision projects for automated IoT/mobile device testing, runtime "…

I get paid to work on Arcan so I don't think factorio would have that big of an impact ;-) The initial choice of Lua for Arcan was based on its use, at the time (2004-2005ish), in …

It's your weapon now. Use it wisely.
