I remember reading about the conceptualizing of a Bevy editor of some kind a while ago. I recently tried to find information about its progress but came up empty. What's the current status of the game editor for Bevy?

The experimental webgl backend support is particularly exciting as browsers still feature-gate WebGPU. Chrome 94 has an origin trial open, but it seems somewhat limited.

I think people are missing the point of supporting this much wattage as a USB-IF standard. There are already 130W power supplies from Dell, so it's going to happen with or without standardization, and I'd rather it happen with. It's also not just laptops that might be powered by this. The article mentions all-in-one computers like Mac might use this, and I could imagine it replacing those awful AC adapters used on monitors with no internal power supply.

I don't think the kernel guarantees that if X runs against Linux today, then it will run against the same X on new kernels on new hardware in perpetuity. It's more along the lines of, "if I one calls the read syscall with parameters a, b, c, it won't suddenly require a 4th parameter, or demand they be in a, c, b order."

Anyways, if the kernel developers decided they wanted to invent a brand new uAPI that does graphics, I wouldn't at all be surprised if new GPU drivers only implemented the new uAPI if their target userspace programs all use the new uAPI instead of an older uAPI. Nothing in userspace is "broken" because it will seem to the old uAPI using userspace as if there is no driver for the new GPU.
