This whole sandboxing and containerisation idiocy is such a pain. Oh
look, the apps are not secure, the apps sometimes crash. But you know
what, let's take a high level approach, because we're such great
managers. Let's NOT make better apps and a better stack by actually
writing better multimedia libraries. No, let's instead just lock the
stuff in which we use anyway, so they can't do more harm than
absolutely unavoidable. Let's face it: those wheels are BROKEN, and
what we actually need is an effort to reinvent them a few more times
so some of them might hold further scrutiny.

Slightly off topic, I know, I'll be back at planning my own world
domination myself.

cheers!
