So yesterday I saw a @postmarketOS toot about their web flasher for Android devices, and I thought - how hard would it be to make one for L5? Turns out - not hard at all. Here it is booting Jumpdrive.
Some caveats:
- requires permission setting on Linux 😔 I may work out-of-box on other platforms though
- it's sloooow, but there's hope: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/1271
- asks 5 times to allow access to the device. Could go down to 3, but no less than that.
@dos @postmarketOS asking 5x sounds like a feature not a bug.
Speaking as someone who occasionally accidentally chooses the wrong option, and flustered by that, might repeat such a mistake!
@datum @postmarketOS The thing is that the permission popup needs to be triggered by a user gesture. Not a dealbreaker, but makes designing a proper UI around it somewhat awkward - and I'm afraid that having so many buttons and popups in the process could actually *increase* the chance of just clicking through them all mindlessly 🤪
@dos
you are lost in a maze of twisty confusing pop-ups, all alike
