  • I’d argue that the systemd trend actually is the one that’s change-adverse.

    I remember that before systemd there was a lot of innovation when it comes to init systems… the flexibility of the script-based inits made it so most distros had their own spin. And there was more diversity in components that now are part of systemd. I’d argue that ever since systemd became the de-facto standard, innovation in those areas has become niche. Distros are becoming more homogeneous and less open to changes in that sense. Some components are becoming more and more interdependent and it’s becoming harder to ship, for example, Gnome, without systemd.





  • Allow blob:// videos to be saved normally. It’s just a file. I’m looking at it. Move it from memory to the hard drive.

    True. Although in many cases this is indicative of a stream (not really a traditional file for the browser), but at the very least, even in the (rare?) cases that there isn’t cached content already, it should theoretically be possible to start saving the video the moment you press on the save button…

    Already the “picture-in-picture” mode Firefox offers is a step in the right direction, imho. It allows the browser to take over control of the playback, which is something some places try to forbid.
