@enkiusz unfortunately ftp also supports user/pass authentication

@0xabad1dea @enkiusz There is anon, which is pretty the expected configuration. The website can just call ftp:// to it as well that way.

@steelman @ksaj @0xabad1dea @enkiusz That's only if we accept Firefox is a browser

@Almafeta @steelman @ksaj @enkiusz then there’s no such thing as a browser, seeing as Firefox removed support only after everyone else did

Drivers belong as source code in HTTP-accessible repositories (and as or in packages, distributed as part of your OS). As we're talking about graphics drivers here:

@enkiusz @0xabad1dea Drivers belong behind the steering wheel. Letting hardware talk to computers is a mistake!

@enkiusz @0xabad1dea Even if the web URL is ftp:// so you don't even have to worry about accidentally getting out of sync.

Why is that so hard for so many sites?
