@paramitanoia@g1455mountain i think a lot of this space is very focused on the implementation details (which yeah the foundational infrastructure like winit, vello, etc... are important) but have no idea how to get DX right. xilem (and honestly anything using the elm architecture) comes to mind
@g1455mountain@paramitanoia in my opinion the most promising work in this area is here:

(anything under https://t.co/bhmwZPvxHJ, but specifically subduction is very important)
@g1455mountain@paramitanoia *yes*, electron is overkill for most people's purposes and uses more resources than it should in small applications, but people also vastly underestimate the amount of work required to do this stuff properly. all things considered chromium is exceptionally good at what it does
@zawarudo57@virusbugz@wandydoodles In fact, we see this happen to Kris! Going to MANCOUNTRY or a room between loses our party members, who have no recollection, despite sometimes teleporting across half the map. These exist outside of deltarune's universe, but inside the device, or the "program layer".
@FurgalTheFluff@choehau_ara also worth noting that while the intel ME and amd PSP *could* be used as an attack surface for a backdoor, they haven't been yet and also serve several legitimate and important purposes. there are also many other places where someone could hide a backdoor like this.
@FurgalTheFluff@choehau_ara this is a very technical article, but the takeaway is that there's a minimalistic boot chain that doesn't put blind trust in any single subsystem. there are a lot of doohickey coprocessors on a Mac/iPhone, but unless the backdoor is in hardware, no single system can be a backdoor
