2018 6th APAN Star Awards Excellence Award, Actress in a Miniseries Go Ara Nominated [14]
Best New Actor Kim Myung-soo Nominated
gollark: WebRTC is overcomplicated and no, so an alternative API would... allow you to listen and send on high-numbered TCP/UDP ports, or something? Not sure of the exact implications of that.
gollark: The user agent is stupid and would instead be feature flags.
gollark: As of now I believe you can check a bunch of things like that without getting permission to access them.
gollark: To reduce fingerprinting, it would not be possible to even *enumerate* cameras and whatever (they have unique IDs) without the user explicitly granting permissions for the appropriate devices.
gollark: I think this is because there's just one implementation of SQLite or something, but it's a public domain and very good implementation.
