There have been efforts at least from AMD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_graphics_...

For recent cards, it makes more sense for these companies to tend on the side of not giving out competitive information, hence their NDA processes for developers.

> Adults don't need to write down a code of conduct, because they adhere to an unwritten code of conduct. Children whinge, 'you shouldn't do that, because this says not to!'; adults don't do that, because they know that they oughtn't — and they refrain from associating with others who do. Children want their clique to gang up on the people they don't like; adults simply walk away from those people.

Because no adult has ever harassed another in a programming community? I would love it if everyone behaved politely and courteously, however this is not currently what is happening in some projects. Having a CoC is merely a preventative measure to curb bad behavior for those who can't self-police.

Currently firefox is blocked by this, and some other related APIs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/selectio...

Once dom.select_events.enabled defaults to true, we'll be able to polyfill most of the other missing APIs.
