Now I get why there’s been so much #ACPI discussion recently in my feed. IMHO, the whole topic is not even worth of essay because you would need to compare it something that also enables universal management interface for heterogenous data center environment. ACPI is ugly but it is also universal. I’d like to see something less ugly implementing the same role.

When it comes to bloat I would rather focus on desktop applications implemented with #JavaScript and #HTML eating all your computing resources. It is ugly and bloated in a whole new level. Web desktop truly sucks

.,, and biggest contribution #vscode has made to the software ecosystem is turning even the freaking text editor as malware.

@jarkko what if the kernel translated ACPI to BPF and then JITted it as the rest of it?

@vbabka I commented actually along the lines to some thread that it would be nice if there was "bridge" between eBPF and AML :-) It would be useful for sure.
