presbyopia (what I've been calling "middle aged eyes") is particularly sucky if you need to do computer work and only have access to a laptop. For "comfortable" viewing you need to choose between using it as a "knee-top" at arms-length, or a "hunch-top" with it being in-your-face. Neither position is ideal for ergnonomics!

I’m in the process of moving back to the UK from the US; moves are always stressful, and this one has been the most stressful yet!

Today we're switching the bzip2 crate from C to 100% rust!
The bzip2 crate is now memory-safe, faster and easier to cross-compile.

Thanks to: @alex_crichton, @ros , and @nlnet

This project was funded through the e-Commons Fund, a fund established by NLnet Foundation with financial support from the @minbzk .

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...

me, about to move a wooden palette/frame in my yard yesterday: "I won't need gloves".
