@gfxstrand With vulkan changes for kepler in mesa 25.2, should we be able to hit the ground running in mutter/wayland with NOUVEAU_USE_ZINK=1 set?

Or is this too soon?

I've got drivers from Mesa 25.2 running via https://launchpad.net/~ernstp/+archive/ubuntu/mesarc and without zink things are up and running on my GK107M, but with NOUVEAU_USE_ZINK=1 I get artifacting over the entire display.

(It IS exciting to see OpenGL 4.5 show up when I run `NOUVEAU_USE_ZINK=1 glxinfo -B` though...)

Made the mistake of taking the suggested update to tvOS 18.2.1 on our AppleTV 4k, which, for the second time in several months, borked Thread Border Router functionality when the AppleTV is connected to Ethernet.

Disconnecting Ethernet let's our Thread devices work again. 18.3 Beta is also broken.

Congress should pass a law demanding that CMS pricing have some sort of MFN status so that pricing for drugs Medicare/Medicaid pays for is the lowest a manufacturer charges globally.

Semaglutide monthly pricing is $125 in Denmark but $965 to $1350 in the US.

TL;DR: American management continues to be broken, continuing the Jack Welch focus on short-term profits with a deep-seated antagonism towards strategic long-term investment.

Meaningful innovation is doomed unless we change or bypass this investor/management culture.
