While the webcam can be taped for the best security, the mike will still be able to record.
I just with that in all these 20 years or so these big desktop environments like Gnome and KDE woul've make these basic privacy and security controls for both webcam and mike.
But yeah, they had more important things to do like changing the wallpapers, icons and colors every year.

This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop, and freeze the whole desktop for too much time.

It was called an X "server" because, originally, X was always network transparent. Now that network remoting is optional in Wayland implementations, they're named after the one thing they all have in common, they have to generate a desktop pixmap from one or more window pixmaps... the technical term for that process is "compositing" because you're making a "composite image".Last edited by ssokolow; 04 August 2020, 03:32 PM.
