MNT community member mojyack figured out what made Firefox perform slower than it should on RK3588/Mali-G610/panfrost and has a little patch for mesa that makes Firefox fly! https://community.mnt.re/t/poor-browser-performance/2042/30

Poor browser performance

Can you tell me where the BGRA patch idea/source comes from? Here’s the rough process of how I created that patch: To begin with, I captured profiles while viewing laggy sites. As you can see, most of the cpu time was consumed in the mesa_format_convert function I put debug prints to mesa, and found firefox calling glTexSubImage2D to upload BGRA image to RGBA texture, causing format conversion. Since the panfrost gallium driver disables blit texture transfer, the format conversion falls t...

Authorities know how to cope with a 30,000-person protest in the city plaza.

They cannot cope with 30 1,000-person protests scattered throughout downtown.

There are still a lot of details to work out, but one of the things @pilky entrusted to me is Coppice, his hypertext mind-mapping app, with the intention of releasing the source code (AppKit & Swift). Coppice was in the middle of a major refactor, so unfortunately that's not as easy as flipping a switch — it will take time to clean it and its dependencies up into a buildable form, but I started on that in December and will work towards a public release. Purchases have been disabled in meantime

My parents are artists and I was exposed to a lot of #Basquiat & #Haring from a young age, but — despite the popularity of #KeithHaring's work these days — I haven't sat in contemplation of it in a _long_ time. In looking into the history of the #CrownGraffiti imagery, I was reminded how prevalent the crown imagery was in #Basqiat's work, the early #NYC #Tagging scene, and how that has continued to inspire to this day. 3/n

So, seeing the slash through the graffiti crown in the #NoKingsProtest logo feels _to me_ like a negation of #BIPOC people's right to consider themselves kinds, not of having a political king in our country. I don't have a lot of experience with crown logo & king movement, but it has clearly found its way into popular culture. 2/n

I'm a strong supporter of the #NoKingsProtest and attended on Saturday, but — having only visited the website late last week to confirm local event times — something about the logo gave me an uneasy feeling. It's been rolling around in the back of my mind all weekend. I think it's because the graffiti crown has a long history in black American culture (at least in my lifetime, though I'm very much an outsider looking in), especially in the art & music scenes. 1/n
