You can print the collage from that night in colour, laminate it and use it instead — I think it would be enough for the road police to confirm that you are authorised to drive that vehicle… or any other vehicle… or pilot a spaceship 🤪
@sun @nyanide @eriner
Yeah, precisely! On the surface it doesn't look that bad, it even has an obligatory point about not influencing the operation of federal agencies and departments, but AFAIK DOGE was created with a similar executive order and look!
And of course I'm no expert on US government and can't tell how this might unfold, but being Russian I know all too well where this "he means well, but they prevent him from acting, he just needs more power" line of thinking might take 😏
@nyanide @eriner @sun
I won't call it a power grab per se, but it does look like a move to shift some power away from a well-established (albeit often criticised by Trump supporters) federal agency and to bring more loyal people on board. This means more relaxed checks and balances and more power to the president — those who do not support Trump are perfectly reasonable to be worried in this case IMO 🤷
@nyanide @eriner @sun
One side sees batshit insane things, the other doesn't see past the careful wording of high-profile legal experts. That executive order has nothing to do with eugenics of course, but nothing about stopping the poisoning either — it's about creating a new body with functions similar to those of the FDA, and for come reason having the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (wut? 😲) on board.

It's probably because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Portable_Intermediate_Representation#LLVM-based_versions
It's some sort of intermediate code for graphics command stream — the features that your graphics card supports are executed on hardware directly, the ones that your hardware does not support are translated in real time and done in software.
This allows for semi-decent performance even on very old hardware because at least some of it gets hardware-accelerated.

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.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
