What do we want

[dtl@8bitorbust.info]

@ben I was just trying to add a new Bluetooth to WiFi gateway to the system, nothing too fancy. Plug in ESP32 board and hit flash, then I hit all the issues elsewhere in this thread.

@becomethewaifu same, too many projects not enough me.

@dtl UDP!

[eloy@hsnl.social]

@becomethewaifu @dtl and for WebSerial

https://github.com/kuba2k2/firefox-webserial

[flod@fosstodon.org]

@dtl WebSerial is being actively worked on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=926940

I don't think that's the case with WebBluetooth.

With that said, I can't wait for people complaining about the browser breaking some hw.

@dtl Web browsers interacting with peripherals still seems like alien technology to me...I never really moved past thinking of them as document viewers.

[dtl@8bitorbust.info]

@growlph I generally agree. Except sometimes it would be really useful.

[growlph@greywolf.social]

@dtl Yeah I'm not against it, making stuff more accessible is a good thing, it just creates some cognitive dissonance to learn that it exists at all.

@dtl@8bitorbust.info i'd actually rather not give my browser access to either of those things

[linear@nya.social]

@dtl@8bitorbust.info like, not even in theory. if they add it, then i would like a version of the binary that does not include the code implementing this feature. same for WebUSB.

[dtl@8bitorbust.info]

@linear fair enough, I disagree, but I can see why you might not want it.
