Today I read about "Kernel extensions moving away in macOS" on Hacker News [1].

I am deeply concerned and wondering: Will this effect Karabiner Elements?

Karabiner-Elements has moved to using DriverKit (User-level extensions) from using kernel extension since v13.0.0. So, the effect of the kernel extension limitation is no longer there.
