I suppose it depends on the portability of the mega-files. It could be an output from a complex non-portable program.

- burnt-resistor 1y agoDon't make or allow complex, non-portable programs. There's no reason for this. Simplicity and Turing completeness means it can always be written in something understandable and maintainable.
- lunar-whitey 1y agoSimple portable programs that perform nontrivial tasks are expensive. Open source overcomes this where possible by socializing the cost.
- emchammer 1y agoI use open-source OpenBSD is because the entire source tree is small enough for me to understand and manipulate. I guess I expect that it is all human-generated. This unwieldy, proprietary chunk makes me want to ditch graphics support in order to keep my source tree significantly smaller.
- lunar-whitey 1y agoAfter cleaning up the sources, the whole chip would still be an unwieldy proprietary chunk - you would just be able to ignore it more easily.
