i just don't think that web browsers should be the same program you access USB ports with or write local programs in

this has been a message against Google's lobbying for "web standards" that have actively made software worse in the past decade

@mavica_again not even explaining how this is a tool to let centralized servers take over your local hardware (thermostat, TV, radio, lights)
@mavica_again I really hate how many microcontroller flasher tools go for "put it in the browser" instead of cross-platform tooling. Like I kind of get it but maybe the solution for your "easy crossplatform GUI" is make a simple thing run on your PC that's built only to do what's needed and communicate with the webpage? idk. fuck.
