Of all the things I've done in my career, this is probably the one I'm the most proud of.

When me and two others at Intel started working on the Vulkan driver, Mesa had a reputation for being behind on everything. The Intel drivers were still on OpenGL 3.3 (fp64 was a pain), OpenGL ES 3.1 or maybe even 3.0, and perf okay but kinda meh. I think there might have been a driver or two in Mesa exposing GL 4.x at that point but, as a project, we were still a ways from full OpenGL 4.5.

With Vulkan, we jumped the line and had Vulkan 1.0 conformance on Intel on launch day. It was a hell of a lot of work (I worked 80+ hours/week that last month or two) but we got there. The driver branch we dropped that day was pretty shaky and it was missing a lot of features but we were there. It took a year or two to get to where we had decent perf, working games, and feature parity with the hardware. But that was okay because there were only two titles that came out that first year and getting them working was the important bit.

Then Vulkan 1.1 came out and we were there with a day-0 driver again. This time, without missing any interesting features. Then 1.2 and 1.3 and now 1.4. With every new version, more drivers joined the train. When Vulkan 1.4 launched, there were 5 different Mesa drivers that landed MRs on to enable Vulkan 1.4 on launch day.

This has totally changed the conversation about open source graphics. When I started, everyone scoffed at Mesa. Today, the speed at which we're able to implement features and launch new API versions is the envy of the graphics industry. We're still not totally caught up everywhere—NVK and PanVK still need work and etnaviv Vulkan doesn't exist—but we're going toe to toe with the proprietary driver teams across most of the industry. The fact that Linux Vulkan drivers are being hammered by most of Valve's library via DXVK and VKD3D means the Mesa drivers are often more stable and robust than their closed source or Windows counterparts.

It's a totally different world for 3D graphics now than it was a decade ago.

And Franklin Delano Roosevelt AFAIR is the only US president to have served more than two terms because of WW2. Pretending that the war is not an obstacle for normal democratic processes is a bullshit idea by any standards, an obvious talking point coming directly from Kremlin.

It's could very well be that it's the other way around: he is telling his generals what they should report back to him… and they are happy to oblige, that's why they are taking the same villages several times a month 😖

Oddly enough, my Android phone can act as a hotspot AND be connected to a different wireless network at the same time — I sometimes have to resort to such a weird setup to use this phone as a makeshift VPN box.
I think the network you connect to has to be 5 GHz and the tethered one is would be 2,4 GHz — so exactly what you want! It's certainly flaky, you better keep your laptop, your phone and the original access point close to each other, but it does work.

Yes, same here — besides, European leaders seem to be strongly against it and if Trump really wants to do this, even the GOP is unlikely to back him up.
Yet the fact that this is being discussed, and starting today even the obvious Kremlin talking points are being used — this doesn't look good! A far shot from negotiating from the position of strength that Trump had promised: all we see is carrots, but no sticks.

When Void starts shipping this standard-imghdr thing we can remove it out of ${HOME}/.local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ and use that instead.
If you are looking for alternatives to epy — check out bookworm, it's a pretty simple ebook reader, AFAIR it doesn't bring in too many dependencies if you already have GTK installed and it doesn't have this standard-imghdr problem.

No, venvs are good once you get more comfortable with them, I have a bunch of homebrew stuff in Python and venvs solve problem like this just fine, I just source activate.sh, then run stuff like I normally would.
But they aren't the solution in this particular case of course as epy is a systemwide package, something like "pip3 install --break-system-packages --compile --user standard-imghdr" did the trick fixing epy for me.

No, I don't think it's limited to Void, it's Python's idea that you should use your distro's package manager to install the modules instead of pip — however pip is still there so you can use it to install modules to venvs.
There is a switch that allows you to force the installation of module into user's site-packages — it's a temporary solution, a more permanent one would be Void shipping standard-imghdr and make it a dependency of epy.

Ha-ha-ha, yeah, muted thread gets nearly impossible to find, unless you bookmark it.
I'm never against removing someone from mentions if they ask me — but yes, being yelled at out of the blue is not what I expected 😅
Federation sometimes works in weird ways, you can never be sure you see all the posts in a thread — some replies get retrieved only when you start interacting with others.

This is the first post from you I see in this thread on my instance: social.librem.one/@m0xee/11402
So there was no part I could understand or not 🤷
If you don't want to be notified about replies to a thread, you can mute it instead of relying on others' "understanding".

> better quick death under Trump than slow resistance under Biden
Not a great idea! Trump's advisors are already openly discussing lifting sanctions — which would be the worst possible move. Pooteen has managed to convince everyone that Russia's resources are limitless and time is on his side, but they aren't. Russian army is a mercenary army, it costs a ton and the economy is already showing obvious cracks.

Oh, fuck this! I'm downgrading to ESR 115!
Is there a way I can have up-to-date Firefox without having to patch to option to disable WebP support back it? 🤬
I wonder if there are ESR 115 builds for Android… 🤔
